Key West
Travel through shallow water close to mangrove islands as you make your way about 4 miles (6.4 km) away from shore to the shark viewing site. Along the way, keep your eyes open for dolphin, sea turtles, stingrays, barracudas, tarpon and an array of native birds. Listen to your experienced pilot discuss the delicate ecosystem of this area and its abundance of wildlife. Enjoy complimentary water, soda, juice — as well as the use of polarized sunglasses — during your trip.
When you arrive at the shark destination, get ready for an unforgettable experience! Your pilot will use bait to draw a host of sharks that swim right up to the boat so you and your family can observe them in safety and comfort. See numerous lemon and nurse sharks, and watch out for bull, black tip and hammerhead sharks during nearly one hour of shark viewing. Capture dramatic photos you can't wait to share with family and friends.

Amazing water excursion!

Captain Ken, Clay and Matt. Great guides, very knowable and funny! Recommend this trip to anyone visiting Key West. I’ve been to Key West many times and this was definitely one of my favorite things!
Soooo much fun

Awesome trip. A must if you have kids. The guides are great. Saw lots of dolphins playing and a ton of sharks. Kids even got to throw the fish in to the sharks. Great experience

Best Tour I have Ever Been On

We visited Key West in September 2022, and the main attraction for us was this very tour. I have always wanted to see sharks in the wild (I have been fascinated by them since the age of 8, and I am now 50!) - this tour does NOT disappoint in any way.
The father and son team are fantastic - they have a fun sense of humour and are extremely knowledgeable, offering little titbits of information about the area, the islands off the coast, the sea itself and of course the sharks themselves.
Shortly after reaching the area, the Lemon sharks appeared, and within a couple of minutes there were loads of them, all 4-6 feet long. The bait was splashed in and out of the water to get the sharks interested, and then feeding began! A magnificent spectacle. Seeing what a bunch of hungry sharks will do to half a Barracuda is quite incredible. They were jumping out of the water to get the fish and pushing each other out of the way to get a bite. The feeding process was repeated twice more, with the crew rotating the people on the boat so everyone got a good look at these fabulous beasts whilst they feed.
On the way back, the Captain knew exactly where to go so that we could actually see Dolphins in the wild as an added bonus to the trip.
I would LOVE to do this again. Sadly I am 4500 miles away and my bank account is less full than it was! Maybe in a few years...

The water and views are breathtaking. The crew is a family affair that is very knowledgeable of the area and the species of sharks you will see. A couple of volunteers are offered a chance to toss shark some bait!!

My favorite excursion in Key West. Only downside was a freak incident when Clay (boat staff) was injured by a mackerel that flew onto the ship. Scary!! Great family business. Take the plunge!!
Sharks and other surprises

A perfect outing. Great crew that was knowledgeable in an entertaining way. Lots of sharks showed up to be fed and the crew made sure everyone had a chance to see. On the way back we had an up close and personal interaction with a mackerel that jumped on board. Surprised everyone including the crew. Would definitely do again.
Go do this tour! Thank you boys!

Amazing tour! I love the man and his two sons. This was a pleasant tour and I really enjoyed the three men. Super nice and funny. They felt like family. Very caring. Tour great for all ages. One of the best experiences in key west. We felt that fury excursions sucked, and this family owned tour was far better!
Great time, highly recommend!

As advertised, an easy boat ride that isn't overcrowded, Captain and crew that are friendly, conversationalists and who enjoy their jobs. Shark experience is fun and everyone gets a chance to observe up close. Our best tour in Key West.
Shark-a-versary

Definitely a must-do in Key West! Crew was knowledgeable, engaging and fun! They interacted with everyone on the boat. Most of the action was at the back of the boat and they made sure everyone had an opportunity to see the sharks up close and personal! Lots of great information shared about sharks and dolphins in their natural habitat!
Shark feeding experience
