We had an excellent trip on our last night in Key West. We booked the Sunset Cruise on the Fury Glassbottom Boat, which is a large catamaran with the hulls having glass viewing windows that everyone sits around to view the reef. The boat leaves right from Duval, which was very convenient.
There were about 40 people on the boat, which was good. Not sure if that was a light night for them, but we enjoyed the space. After a 30 minute ride to the reef, we spent about 45 minutes gliding over the reef and saw some great fish. The guide did a great job pointing out fish and explaining the whole ecosystem.
According to the guide they had not had a night this good all year. The sea was very calm and the visibility was incredible. On the way back, the captain stopped the boat and we all watched the beautiful sunset and had a champagne toast. We then cruised into the harbor by Mallory Square with all the entertainment in full swing.
The booking staff was accomodating when we asked to move the trip to another night, as one of us was sick on the original night we booked. The price was reasonable (book directly on the internet for a reduced price) for the type of cruise.
Key West has lots of options for sunset cruises starting at really high-end wine tastings on a fabulous sail boat to party boats. I would classify this as a reasonably priced, family-type trip. Great for kids because of the entertainment of watching the reef and not a lot of drinking.
Trip includes snacks, sodas and the champagne toast.
