 Skimming the waves |
245 Front St (at the Hilton Marina) Florida Keys, FL 33040 United States +1 305 294 8899 http://furycat.com/ |
Catamarans are speedy sailboats that fly across the water on two pontoons with the deck, controls and sail in the middle. The Fury skims the seas on a variety of sun-and-fun expeditions that feature swimming, a look at colorful reef fish, sunset sailings and plenty of beverages ranging from soft drinks to champagne, wine and beer. If the sun gets to you, it is comforting to know there are some shady spots aboard. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Feed wild tarpon |
77-5 Overseas Highway Florida Keys, FL 33036 United States +1 305 664 9814 |
At Robbie's Marina, you can find fishing gear and bait, and sign up for ferry trips to Indian Key State Historic Site and Lignumvitae Key State Botanical Site. You can also rent kayaks and motorized craft, or organize a deep-sea fishing expedition. Best of all, especially for children, is the opportunity to feed fat tarpon. Those wily critters long ago learned what a soft touch tourists are, so they hang around the docks. Robbie's can supply you with buckets of bait to feed them right from the docks.
