Discovery Glass Bottom Boat Description

See underwater sea creatures in an up-close-and-personal encounter that keeps you high and dry! Reef life, from colorful coral to exotic tropical fish and sharks, may be viewed through the clear, glass panels at the bottom of an 80-foot, steel-hulled vessel. Kids will love to look for sea turtles and hear experts talk about marine life in the deep, blue sea. Snacks and restrooms available on board.

Planning Notes

Check for discounts. The website offers occasional discount coupons on the trip.

Bring a camera. You may regret it if you miss an opportunity to snap a shark swimming three feet in front of you.

Be wary of seasickness. If you or your child tend to get seasick, you may want to take a pass.

Foul-weather warning: Keep in mind that the captain may cancel any trip due to bad weather. Tickets will be refunded if that happens.

What we loved:
Being able to see the oceans floor and all its wildlife!

What we didn't love:
Not enough viewing room for all passengers

I went on a cruise which started in The Florida Keys. Key West was the destination. Theres alot to do in Key West. I chose the outing on the glass bottom boat. It was very educational. I think its a good family experience however; I went it alone! The boat ride itself is fun! Being able to see thru the bottom of the boat is just COOL! They have a tour guide on the boat who explained everything. There are certain areas where theres plant life coral and other areas specific to certain species of fish and other creatures native to the area. I found it very interesting! A fun time... I would do it again!!! Read More
