The Starting Point and How to Prepare
Begin your day at Captain’s Corner Dive Center on Greene Street, a spot well-positioned near the bustling heart of Key West. Arrive 45-60 minutes early (depending on your activities) to check in, get fitted for gear, and enjoy a briefing from the crew. All you’ll need is your passport or ID, swimwear, a towel, and some cash or a credit card for incidentals.
The setup is straightforward, and the friendly staff make sure everyone is comfortable, especially if it’s your first time doing some of these activities. A pro tip from previous guests: don’t forget the reef-safe sunscreen, which is provided, but bringing your own extra layer helps keep you protected in the sun.
The Vessel and Scenic Journey
Your adventure kicks off aboard a state-of-the-art 65-foot catamaran. This spacious boat offers great views as you cruise from the dock, giving you a chance to soak in the scenic surroundings of Key West and notice the turquoise waters stretching in all directions. The boat often hosts groups of enthusiasts, creating a lively, fun atmosphere, but with enough space to relax and enjoy the ride.
Parasailing: Soar with a View
Once anchored, the first thrill is parasailing. You’ll be harnessed in groups of 2 or 3, flying high above the water and catching panoramic views of the island and the Gulf of Mexico. According to reviews, the experience is smooth, with guides like “Robyn” noting the “great guides” making it a “great experience.” The maximum weight limit per harness is around 450 lbs, so most guests are comfortably accommodated.
Expect to be in the air for several minutes, with plenty of photo opportunities from above. The sensation of floating effortlessly over the ocean offers a unique perspective on Key West’s natural beauty. No single flyers are allowed, but group parasailing keeps the energy lively.
More Great Tours NearbyJet Skiing: Feel the Rush
Next up, take control of the top-of-the-line Sea-Doo jet skis. Guests have praised the quality of equipment and the clarity of instructions, especially those who needed to pass a boater’s safety test (required for drivers born in or after 1988). With a weight limit of 460 lbs per jet ski, couples or friends can team up.
You’ll love the feeling of racing across the waves, with guides providing tips and guidance to ensure safety and maximize fun. Darrell mentions it was a “great day of fun on the water,” highlighting how jet skiing remains a favorite part of the tour. For many, this part of the excursion delivers adrenaline and a sense of freedom.

As Heather notes, the crew is “awesome,” making sure everyone stays safe while enjoying the ride.

This inflatable obstacle course is the only state-certified water park in the area and features slides, climbing towers, and other challenges. It’s a hit with kids and adults alike—reviewers like Robyn call it “great” and “fun.”
Clambering over the inflatables will test your agility, and sliding down the water slides provides a refreshing escape from the sun. It’s the perfect way to cool down and add an element of playful competition to your day.
