I am super psyched about the latest edition of my book, Boat Fish Live .net - coming out later this month, September. We’ve added several illustrated spreads on docking, operating twin outboards, a map of the Lower Keys with very interesting information, a spread on recreational boating with waypoints for places of interest, and a list of boat repair people. The first chapter is a hands-on lesson in operating a motor boat. Chapter two covers sailing. And, Chapter three is a comprehensive overview of fishing in the FL Keys, including targeting different species. If you are interested to learn about boat handling, sailing, or fishing - this is the book for you. If you need a gift for someone, this is that. If you would like a hands-on boat lesson, the book is the hand written notes. Now, let’s do the hands-on part, including navigation and gps. Keys Boat Tours is based out of Big Pine Key, MM 33. This book pairs perfectly with the 2024 edition of my book, The Road To Key West .com Thank you for helping to support a local for a great win / win.

Another day at the office. Our office location btw is Big Pine Key RV at MM 33. We have a 24’ center console, and a 22’ bay boat. We offer: 1 hr bridge tour, 2 hour eco, snorkel, mangrove tunnel motor / paddle tour, and a sunset tour, 3 hour reef snorkel, 4 hr fishing, Combo tour, and sandbar tours. We also have a very special 4 hr hands-on motor boat lesson that people rave about. That in of itself is worthy of a 5 day visit. And, for all of our tours, you can add hrs as desired. We offer memorial services too. Experience the whole week KBT package: stay in a super comfortable and clean Big Pine Key RV Airstream trailer (or larger trailer), and get 3 tours of your choice with Keys Boat Tours, bicycle and paddleboard use, and our “maximize your FL Keys visit book”, The Road To Key West, written by Capt Brian - for one great discounted price. Length of stay dependent. Call for a quote. Just know that we want you to leave the Keys loving it. We treat you like friends and family.

If you are thinking about buying a motor boat, or you recently bought one, but you don’t have the experience to comfortably head out on the water by yourself. Or, you might instead wish to rent a boat without having to hire a captain.
With Keys Boat Tours, based out of Big Pine Key RV(MM33), you learn how to: a) dock a boat in different situations, b) drop and retrieve an anchor, c) understand weather, wind, and tides, and d) drive a boat with confidence.
