Celebrate the Sunset - Great way to celebrate the sunset! We were unsure about this as someone told us they didn’t see anything on the trip but it was fabulous! The glass bottom boat is so neat. We saw lots of different fish and coral and they told us so much about what we were looking at. They also passed out champagne to do a sunset toast. I highly recommend it. It’s a fun time for all ages.

Good experience - The staff were very helpful with those passengers suffering motion sickness and the narration was good. The soft drink and snack prices were great.

Reef with kids - Very pleasant way to see the reef, especially if you’re not going to snorkel or have small children with you. Also interesting to hear the narration from a knowledgeable person.

Beware - Causes sea sickness! - They don't tell you until you are at the reef, but watching the reef through the glass bottom boat can make you sea sick. I would say half of the people there had to stop viewing and suck on ice chips, including two out of our party of three. I (one of the two) have been snorkeling quite a few times and been on boats many times, and not had this problem before, so I believe it is a particular problem endemic to glass bottom boat viewing of the re.

Glass bottom boat trip - The boat and staff were fantastic- and it was as a Shame that we didn't see as much as we thought we would see due to going to the north west

Good design of the boat for viewing but the crew was indifferent and detracted from the experience. - The boat is designed pretty well for the purpose. The windows in the bottom of the boat were angled and viewing was good. The narration was canned and difficult to understand, which really detracted from the experience. The captain of the boat delievered all notices in a sing-song voice. I have to say that though the boat was good for the purpose, the crew was OK but not very concerned about giving the customers a memorable experience.

The booking that never happened - Two hours prior to the event, they emailed stating it was cancelled. The last day in Key West and we were very excited about doing the bottom glass boat to see the coral reef and fish but it never happened!
