Our verdict
This tour fits a typical Key West call (8:00 am–3:30 pm). It runs 3 h; ashore by 8:20 am, you can start by 8:30 am and be back at the gangway around 11:40 am — 2 h 50 min to spare on top of a 1 h safety margin.
Rule of thumb: it keeps the safety margin as long as all aboard is 12:40 pm or later. Even a short 7:00 am–2:00 pm call works.
The operator lists a meeting point in town rather than at the pier, but Key West is small: anywhere in the centre is within about 10 min of the ships on foot or by a short taxi ride, so we count 10 min each way.
Among the 350 Key West shore excursions we track, this is about average in length (the median runs 3 h); 85% of them fit a typical call.
Computed from the tour's published duration, the distance from the cruise pier to its start point and the typical Key West call. Adjust your ship's times above to recheck.
