About
Enjoy a shark and wildlife eco-tour in Key West aboard the custom built eco-adventure vessel 'Tiger Cat'. You'll cruise to the pristine backcountry waters for two hours of shark and wildlife viewing. A scent is deployed to attract these apex predators right next to the boat. In these calm waters you will see a variety of wildlife, turtles, stingrays, birds and dolphins. Local wildlife experts conduct the tour. Our success rate for seeing sharks is 99%. Our success rate for seeing Dolphin is 90%. As for the other wildlife, it's different every trip. This is a safe and exciting adventure for all ages.

We had a lovely trip and although we were warned that it was a little cool and that the sharks might not show up, they did come and put on a show. The captain and Clay gave great commentary and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The dolphins also put on a nice show and we stayed in the area for quite a long time watching them. We heartily recommend.

This is a family run business and they take your pleasure seriously. You are five feet away from the sharks feeding. They make sure everyone is able to see and experience the thrill. About 8 sharks were at the boat. From small to 9 ft long. The vessel provides plenty of shaded area for those not wanting direct sunlight. This trip is great for all ages. Cash discount -saved $10 per person paying cash at dock.

This was a great trip all around. It was nice to get out of the heat and take a beautiful boat ride through the most beautiful colored water I have ever seen. Stopping to feed the sharks was so cool. They were 5 feet away from us! The captain and his son were so knowledgeable about sharks and all different kinds of marine life. My teenage son loved the one liners and corny jokes they told. I would do this trip again.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE 5 STAR REVIEW! It's nice to be appreciated. Glad your son enjoyed the corny jokes and one liners, they do that on porpoise:). Hope we see you again soon.

Boy does this trip deliver. Kenny and Clay were a fabulous father / son duo. They were pleasant, well organized and delivered on the promise of sharks. We also saw rays and dolphins. A true eco tour. Pop and water was provided and the duos knowledge of local wildlife was superb. This trip is great for any age or ability!

This was a great 2 hour boat ride out into the gulf. The two guys running the boat were smart and had great stories to share about all kinds of animals they have encountered. The sharks were awesome. They drove us to see dolphins after seeing the sharks, which was an added a bonus. Recommend it to anyone that visits the Keys.

This tour was amazing. The entire crew was so nice, and they were very knowledgeable sharing interesting facts and insights about the sharks and dolphins we got to see. The shark viewing/feeding was awesome, and the dolphin viewing was phenomenal as well. Highly recommended!!

The shark tour was definitely the highlight of our trip! The water was like glass and the reflection of the sky was beautiful. We saw a number of lemon sharks and some loggerhead turtles (a rare sighting). The crew were wonderful - helpful and kind and always professional. It shows that they love what they do. The drinks were much appreciated in the Florida heat. My 6yo daughter loved seeing and feeding the sharks. I would highly recommend this experience and would do it again without hesitation!

We agree seeing the wildlife in the beautiful water of Key West is a must do. Viewing the sharks jaws in action is always a thrill!

What an amazing experience! Captain Dave and Captain Clay are kind, friendly, fun and so knowledgeable! They treated us well and gave us a unique experience! This is the only shark tour you should use! This crew has so much experience and did not disappoint! The sharks were so close, but we were always safe. Small children were on the Tiger cat too and they obviously loved it as well. We saw lots of sharks and dolphins! We will always remember this trip!!! Thanks Captians Dave and Clay!!!

Despite numerous warnings that masks are required the crew allowed one couple to ignore the requirement. None of us like to wear masks but if your going to have a rule everyone should be treated the same. The son does not understand this concept.

Looking at the picture attached I remember this tour. When we mentioned wearing mask you were annoyed.
The couple that were in your picture had a drink in their hands and therefore were allowed by the USCG to have their masks off. We are not the mask police and try to use common sense so that EVERYONE has a pleasant and safe experience on our tour.

We really enjoyed our trip with extreme adventures. My family (with 2 kids 12&10) all really enjoyed it. The captains go out of their way to make you feel welcome and do a nice job to ensure everyone has a good time, gets plenty of pictures and sees these amazing animals up close. It was also informative as they educate on the area, the sharks and other marine life. Would highly recommend

Do you recommend seasickness medication for those who are prone to it? How far out in open water does it go?

Hi...during the covid pandemic, what is the maximum amount of people allowed on the boats and is everyone required to wear a facemark? Thank you.

Can you swim with the sharks? (at your own risk)
Written October 8, 2019
It is illegal in the U.S. to swim with sharks in state waters if there is bait in the water to attract them. No bait, no sharks. We are the only shark tour where you DO NOT get into the water. Most shark tours are dive tours. Mexico, Bahamas, etc.

Are tours to see the Sharks and Dolphins available year round? We are thinking of traveling to Florida in March. Thanks!
Written August 4, 2019
Yes, we are offering trips all year long. March is a great time for viewing wildlife.

Hi, I’d like to bring my dslr camera, but will there be a possibility of getting soaked from the boat wake or anything? I don’t have any protection for it from getting to wet.
Written June 3, 2019
We have many photographers with their expensive cameras on our tours. If you don't have a carry case, I might suggest getting a 1 gallon zip lock bag if you are concerned that you can't keep your camera dry.
I bring my dslr on our trips frequently. There's never been a problem.
