Overview

Experience premier snorkeling in the Florida Keys aboard the Island Pearl, a 50-foot classic vessel with modern comforts and a colorful past as the liberty boat for the USS Roosevelt. Set off on a scenic excursion past Marathon’s iconic landmarks while we share fascinating stories of the Keys’ historic past. Then, explore vibrant reefs teeming with marine life, or simply relax on the water and take in the views. Even if you’re less adventurous or prefer to stay dry, there’s plenty to enjoy—this is a tour that truly lets everyone in your group experience the magic of the Keys. This unique adventure is quickly becoming a Florida Keys tradition for visitors who want history, scenery, and unforgettable snorkeling.
