Join our day trip to visit wild dolphins in the shallow waters off Key West, snorkel shipwrecks and reefs and enjoy some great sailing too. Our Champagne Celebration Sunset Cruise serves only the best (Moet & Chandon) Champagne, vintage wines and our gourmet cheese buffet. It’s nice to know that you’ll only be drinking the best. « less

My grandma and I went on the catamaran echo about a week ago, (5-14-13) and had a lot of fun! They were expecting more people to come with on the trip, however they didn't show up. They still took us out without complaining, though it was just the two of us. The staff on the boat were awesome, and very... More

I don't understand how this has so many great reviews. The trip started with the head guy collecting payment and basically demanding at least a 20% tip before we even got on the boat! He even had a chart and pointed to exactly how much 20% was. It was awkward and uncomfortable. Do you tip before you get your food... More

My wife and I took the Dolphin Watch and Snorkel trip with Echo 2 on April 22, 2013. We met Captain Tom at the dock and got our day started with Captain Noah and 1st Mate Tess. Noah and Tess were absolutely amazing. Noah and Tess are fun and always at your service. Our trip began with finding a young... More

Had a wonderful time on the echo today with the experienced and knowledgeable crew ... snorkeling was perfect as well as seeing the dolphins and sea turtles and getting a great tan while sipping complimentary beers and snacking on fresh fruit

The Sunset and Moet sunset cruise was a grand experience for us and the other two couples we were with in Key West. The six of us with Brad and Tess as the crew spent a wonderful evening on the water with a great sunset and even better champagne and cheeses. Brad and Tess provided wonderful service and were great... More

My husband and two kids recently went on a snorkeling tour with Captain Noah and Tess. We were on a cruise that docked in Key West for the day (Carnival Freedom), so it was a perfect excursion for the amount of time we had. We met the Echo by 8:45 and left at 9:00. Almost immediately, we found a group... More

My wife and I have been on cruises before but never on a small catamaran at sunset. The 2 hour cruise was a blast. We had a small group of 6 people plus Captain Noah and Tess (hostess/bar tender/1st mate). The champagne, wine, beer, cheese and crackers were absolutely the best. The weather was perfect with a slight breeze and... More

We took the afternoon Dolphin watching, snorkelling and sailing trip and there were only 4 of us in total, plus Captain Noah and Tess. Great little boat and Noah knoew just where to take us for great snorkelling and even found an elusive Dolphin for us. Much better than the larger boats we saw.

Wife and I took sunset cruise (Apr 27) and daytime dolphin/snorkeling cruise (Apr 28)...both fantastic. Sunset cruise very personal with wide variety of things to drink, including champagne and very, very good variety of fruits and cheeses. Positioned perfectly to see the spectacular sunset. Echo doesn't look like much when you get to the dock, but the small boat is... More

This was perfect. There were only two other couples on the catamaran. The champagne and wine were delicious. There was fruit, wine and cheese spread. It was my husband's birthday present and unfortunately I was unable to book on his actual day. I spoke with Captain Tom who I mentioned this and we booked the for the next night. I... More
