The catamaran slips away from the mangrove-strewn shoreline and the Atlantic opens like a liberated horizon—blue pressing to the edge of sight. Onboard, the 45‑foot power catamaran hums with a casual efficiency: shaded benches, a wide deck, and the easy banter of captains who read currents the way others read maps. Within twenty minutes you’re beyond the commuter traffic of US 1 and into the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, where the reef drops away and shoals of wrasse and parrotfish begin to materialize.

Arrive early to check in
Plan to be at Amoray reception 30 minutes before departure to complete check‑in and gear fitting.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Chemical sunscreens damage coral—choose a mineral (zinc or titanium) formula and apply before boarding.
Motion‑sickness prep
If you get seasick, take medication at least an hour before departure and sit mid‑ship where motion is gentlest.
Respect the reef
Keep fins off corals and avoid touching wildlife; your hands and fins do more harm than you think.

Wear your suit under clothes for a quick water entry and dry off fast after the swims.
