About This Adventure

Hop aboard the M. V. Key Largo Princess for our daily 2-hour tours to view the exciting, beautiful, underwater world of the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and the Key Largo National Marine Sanctuary.

Key highlights of this tour:

  • Board the Key Largo Princess, a luxurious 75-foot, 140 passengers, glass-bottom aluminum motor yacht. From our sun deck, you will have a panoramic offshore view of the Florida Keys and can view the ever changing colors of Atlantic Ocean.
  • 45-minute voyage out to the reef with time to relax on our sun deck and sip a tropical cocktail or beverage from our full-service bar. If you prefer, you can ride in the comfort of our climate-con
  • Observation of the reef through large viewing windows. These are large enough for everyone to observe the reef at the same time and are located along the center of the boat and installed flat so there is no distortion other than what nature creates.
  • Everything you see is or was alive and the reef itself is built of many varieties of living coral and teems with an assortment of sea life. Your narrator will point out all kinds of sea creatures which may include sea fans, sea plumes and hundreds of fish ranging from small tropical to larger species sought after by local fishermen
  • Occasionally we'll even spot some of the ship wreckage that has been left behind by those who were most likely defeated by King Neptune over the years.
