We just returned from the Keys and had an awesome time. The absolute high point of our entire trip was the morning snorkeling trip that we took with Fury. The staff was extremely professional, fun and friendly. They were very patient with everyone on board and helped the less experienced get in and out of the water. We can't say enough good things about this company and the fun we had with them. The nicest thing of all is that they gear the trip for EVERYONE. We were a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 boys 12 and 14 yrs and felt this was the best snorkeling company in the keys.
We saw so much, including a large Nurse Shark, several large Barracuda-(awesome) and a variety of fish, coral and very colorful plant life. Thanks again to Fury for making our family vacation the very best! FURY STAFF ROCKS!

I had been on a snorkeling trip with another charter (many years ago) and was SO excited to experience it with my boyfriend. The price was very reasonable, unfortunately the experience was barely ok. First of all, there were about 100 people on the boat which made it hard to get a good seat and to snorkel when people kept running into each other. There were several people who couldn't swim well enough to go out to the reef and I understand that safety is the first priority, but the captain was unnecessarily rude to them and abrasive with anyone who wasn't moving fast enough. The equipment was old and not in very good condition. I brought my own, but my boyfriend's mask leaked the whole time. The catamaran stopped at least a 10 minute swim (taking the waves into account) away from the reef, and although the captain said he couldn't take the boat any closer, I was much closer the last time I went snorkeling. The swim out was absolutely exhausting and the swim back was even worse. We were given a short lecture on the way out to the reef about our equipment, the reef, and important hand signals, but they failed to even mention the HUGE number of small jellyfish we saw. I was terrified that we'd get stung when I noticed them.

Obviously they weren't dangerous because neither one of us was stung despite many of them brushing past, but I think it would've been nice to know that before getting into the water. Also, the directions they gave everyone about where to swim were very vague and we had to deal with a lot of yelling and pointing from the crew on the boat. We still never ended up at a good part of the reef - we were on the outskirts the entire time. There was absolutely no organization in getting back on the boat, so we ended up treading water and bumping into people for more than 10 mins. It just could've been so much better.

My husband and I were really looking forward to this part of our trip to Florida and were thoroughly rewarded! We loved it. From our first step onto the boat each member of the crew made us feel over and abundantly welcome. We did the ultimate adventure and each part was exciting in it's own way. Well worth it!!

Nice trips. I took two: sunset cruise and glass bottom reef visit. Fury gets "excellent" because of the glass bottom boat; the sunset cruise is only probably average.

The glass bottom boat goes to the coral reef and you can see some great sites only excelled if you were to snorkel or scuba dive.
