You’ll jump from jet skis to snorkeling gear in Key West’s warm waters before catching your breath over a grilled lunch and cold draft beer. Try paddleboarding or bounce on inflatables while a local guide keeps things light and easy. By sunset you’ll feel sun-kissed, salty-haired—and probably not ready to leave.
The first thing I heard was that slap of water against the hull—louder than I expected, kind of sharp. We’d just boarded the Party Cat in Key West and people were already laughing, sunscreen everywhere. Our guide, Mike (he’s from Miami but swears he’s local now), handed out wristbands and pointed at this wild floating playground in the distance—slides, trampolines, even a goofy inflatable iceberg. I was still half-awake and suddenly wide-eyed.
Jet skiing came first for us. I thought I’d be nervous but honestly? The salt spray hit my face and I just started grinning like an idiot. There’s something about speeding along those turquoise waves that makes you forget everything else. My friend tried paddleboarding—she fell off twice and just floated there cracking up while some kids zipped by on banana boats screaming their heads off. Mike kept checking on everyone, making sure we were good or needed a break in the shade (the cabin’s got AC, which is a small miracle after an hour in the sun).
I didn’t expect to love snorkeling so much—the water was warm and clear enough to see fish darting around my ankles. Lunch smelled like summer cookouts: grilled pork sandwiches, fries, even veggie trays for my picky cousin. And yeah, unlimited draft beer after all the activities? Dangerous in the best way. At one point someone tried to teach me how to say “cheers” in Spanish but I totally butchered it—got a laugh though.
By late afternoon we were sprawled on deck, sun-drunk and tired but happy. The sky over Key West turns this weird soft blue that makes you want to stay forever. Even now when I hear seagulls or smell sunscreen it takes me right back there—you know?
