Question: On a family boat tour, are babies allowed?
Answer: Yes, babies are allowed on many family friendly boat tours, but the exact age policy depends on the vessel and operator. Larger catamarans, such as Fury Water Adventures or Sebago trips, take families on 2hr dolphin cruises, snorkel trips, and sunset sails, while smaller boats set tighter passenger rules because every person, including an infant, counts toward the Coast Guard capacity limit.

Question: If we bring a beach bag or purse on a sail, is there a dry place to keep it?
Answer: Yes, there is a dry spot for a small purse or compact beach bag, but storage space is limited on sunset sails. On catamarans leaving from the Key West Historic Seaport, like Fury or Sebago trips, bags are normally kept under a bench, near the bar area, or beside your seat during the sail.

Question: How much of a Key West boat tour is actually riding versus stopping somewhere?
Answer:
It depends on the type of tour you book, but most Key West boat tours are actually more riding than stopping. On a typical dolphin cruise or sightseeing trip, you are moving most of the time and just cruising through different areas while the crew points things out or looks for wildlife. You might slow down or pause when dolphins show up, but it is not usually long stops where you get off the boat or anything like that. If you go with something like a snorkeling trip or a sandbar trip, that is where you start getting more actual stop time. Those usually have a clear destination where the boat anchors, and you spend a good chunk of the trip in one spot. So in that case, it flips a bit, where the ride gets you there, and then you stay put for a while. I have noticed people sometimes expect a lot of hopping on and off locations, but Key West tours are more about either cruising continuously or anchoring in one main spot rather than stopping at multiple places all day.
