Afternoon trips are, by far, more popular than morning trips. This could be because the nightlife in Key West is always hopping and not many people want to get up early. Plus we wind up getting quite a few folks who take a chance and wait till the very last minute to try to book a trip (horrors!). Many times this does not work for them and they lose out. But many other times we still have room available and they get to go. So far, it has never worked out for anyone calling early enough in the morning to make the morning trip on the same day unless there was already a trip started by someone else who booked that day ahead of time and there happened to be still room. Thus, unless you are booking a private charter or have at least 4 people in your party, we start booking per person trips in the afternoon first. If the afternoon trip fills up, then we will start a per person trip in the morning of that day.
I'm frequently asked, "How far in advance do I need to book?" Now where did I leave my crystal ball?!


You might note that in the reservations form, in addition to the date you want I ask for any alternate dates you might have. This helps combining trips but is also useful to help pick the better weather days. Let's say that you are here for a week. It would be better to schedule a day on the first part of that time window as opposed to the latter part. That way, if the weather was not very good on the first part of your vacation at least there is the possibility of putting it off to later in the week should the weather report look better for then. Obviously, you cannot do it the other way around.
