I normally don't review but I thought this was worth it. I was told about Chasin' Tail Tours through a friend who visited Key West, FL. I called Chasin' Tail Tours the day my girlfriend and I arrived. We arrived on a Wednesday and I asked the gentleman on the phone if he had availability to take me, my girlfriend and four others on Monday for a tour. The gentleman on the phone was very nice and accommodating. Turns out. I was speaking with the owner Rob. I told him I was not looking to fish. We just wanted to be on the water relaxing and soaking up the sun rays. ( since Chicago is freezing). Rob said, "no problem that's what we do, we'll do whatever you want" I asked Rob why the Chasin Tail name? He said, he takes people out to learn and catch lobsters" hence the Chasin' Tails name. We booked for Monday at noon till 6:00pm. He instructed us to bring any sandwiches , snacks and beverages that we might want. He will provide cooler, ice, and lots of bottled water. The six of us arrived at the boat and it was nice and spotless. Rob ( the owner) greeted us graciously and helped us bring on our snacks, sandwiches and lots of beer on the boat.
Rob (the owner) ran down some protocols for the boat. Where the life vest were, in case of emergency , etc, etc. Rob (the owner) drove the boat and he seemed very familiar with the waters and made us feel very comfortable. He took us on the water and pointed out everything around Key West. Then we went to an island where there was a row of boats beached on it. We all hopped out , Rob (the owner) set up beach chairs and towels. ( he provided) We walked the island, swam in a lazy river ( no joke it was crazy cool) swung on a swing, and just relaxed. Rob was very relaxed too and let us stay for as long as we wanted. To be honestly we had so much fun, that time flew by. It was six o'clock and Rob said we should get going that there was one more stop we had to make. Even though it was past our time Rob took us to watch the sunset on the Ocean at 6:28pm. IT WAS AMAZING! Thank you Rob!
I have to say this was one of the most relaxing things I have done. We didn't want to fish we all just wanted to relax and have fun and not think about the cold hard weather back in Chicago.
Ready for this... We all booked him two days later to go lobster catching and snorkeling. Best adventure ever! But that's another review. Can't wait to go back to Key West and book with Chasin Tail Tours again.
Seriously, everyone should experience your Tour.
Well done Rob! Well done Chasin' Tail Tours!
Thank you. read more
