As you head out of the seaport on your power catamaran, you will head toward the waters of the Gulf of Mexico where the local Key West dolphins swim, play, and feed in their own natural habitat.

The CAT you are traveling on is part of an exciting national conservation program, so your knowledgeable and experienced crew will offer facts and research information as you responsibly view some of the more than 200 bottle nose dolphins that call this area home. You will spend approximately 60 minutes looking for dolphins.

After viewing the dolphins, you will head off to one of the many unique snorkel locations in the Key West National Wildlife Refuge. It is the third oldest wildlife refuge in the U.S. and was created in 1908 by Teddy Roosevelt. Based on the water conditions that day, your captain will find the best location that day to make the most of your snorkeling adventure.

These “back country” shallow waters are home to a variety of sponges, coral, and tropical fish. You will have approximately 50 minutes to snorkel from the boat, during which your experienced crew will share their extensive knowledge of the amazing wildlife. For those new to snorkeling, the crew can teach even a novice how to snorkel and have a great time.
