Operated by Key Largo Princess · Key Largo, Florida
Off the southern tip of Florida lies Key Largo, the first and most expansive of the Florida Keys, where turquoise waters cradle one of the nation’s most vibrant underwater ecosystems. At the heart of this marine wonderland is John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, America’s pioneering underwater park. Key Largo Princess invites adventurers of all ages aboard their 75-foot glass-bottom motor yacht for a two-hour cruise that reveals the vivid life thriving beneath the waves without ever getting wet.
This excursion offers a unique vantage point: walk the deck or settle inside the climate-controlled cabin and gaze through crystal-clear viewing windows that slice through the hull. Unlike conventional glass-bottom boats with small viewing ports, the Key Largo Princess features expansive flat windows that minimize distortion, providing an unparalleled panorama of living coral structures, delicate sea fans, and the kaleidoscope of tropical fish darting among them. With narration by knowledgeable guides, passengers identify creatures large and small—from colorful parrotfish to the elusive queen angelfish—while occasionally glimpsing the eerie remains of shipwrecks, silent proof of the Keys’ storied nautical past.
The cruise’s pace balances relaxation and discovery. The 45-minute transit to the reef encourages taking in the ocean’s shifting hues from the open-air sun deck, where a full-service bar awaits. Once at the reef, guests spend time marveling at the underwater world visible from below, soaking in the region’s unparalleled biodiversity. The tour departs daily from the Key Largo Holiday Inn at 99701 Overseas Highway, making it easily accessible for both locals and visitors.
Key Largo Princess’s glass-bottom boat tours are a distinctive gateway to the Florida Keys’ marine treasures—offering immersive wildlife viewing paired with comfort and style, all within a protected environment dedicated to conservation and sustainable tourism.
