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.
We don't have a verified start point for this tour yet, so we assume 10 min each way from the pier — the typical ride in Key West. Check the meeting point on the booking page.
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.
