What a day to be alive, Floridians! The very first electric powered charter boat and one of the first near coastal hybrid catamarans in Key West is officially certified and ready to take you on the most magical journey around. For all the environmentally-conscious Floridians out there looking to indulge in a little slice of paradise in Key West, this boat ride is exactly what you need.
Here’s a little tip that many visitors to Florida or even residents don’t know—you can still respect the environment, reduce your carbon footprint, AND enjoy boat trips to paradise.
The very first Dolphin Watch and Snorkel trip of Key West has switched gears since inception in 1986 and is now aboard SQUID, the very first electric boat in Key West.
Not only will you still have the very best wildlife experience possible, but you’ll also have the least possible impact on the environment, and on the local pod of dolphins you’re sure to see along your trek.
The Dolphin Watch trip aboard the SQUID takes four hours total and allows guests to enjoy seeing the wild dolphins hunt, play, and frolic along the turquoise waters of The Keys.
There are other boats available through the company too, like the E.B. Wilson, which has enough roof space to take the kayaks along for the journey, too.
