Boating in the Florida Keys....
For fishing, diving, catching a sunset, or just cruising - renting a boat locally is the way to go. You will find a lot of helpful staff at these rentals to assist you for a very enjoyable outing, they will familiarize you with the boats operation and equipment. Coming down to the Keys and not going out on a boat must be a violation of some ordinance somewhere.....

Boating in the Keys is not rocket science, but does require you to stay alert to weather and other conditions. Help us protect the eco-system by staying off shallow grass flats and be real careful of running aground  and causing damage to our fragile reef. Bring your trash and all your passengers back with you.

The driver is either standing or on a raised bench -better visibility and also helps keep you out of trouble by seeing and reading the water better.
