Meet our Captain
Captain Eric
Eric Grandcourt’s life started in Broomfield, Colorado many moons ago. He explored the Rocky Mountains while hiking and snowboarding every chance he got, enjoying the mile high city of Denver before spending a few years in Boulder. Eventually the cold winters lost their appeal, and Eric found a renewing warmth in Key West: He threw out those suits worn in Colorado offices and traded them in for wetsuits, and his cubicle and pushy boss were replaced with open water, sea turtles and schools of bottlenose dolphin. Eric splashed in to a life on the water as a Divemaster with Captain’s Corner Dive Shop in 2007, and became a Captain for the same company in 2010. He bought his own boat, “Laid Back,” in the winter of 2011 and has been sharing his love for South Florida marine life on private charters ever since.
Our 250DC World Cat
Our boat is a 26 foot World Cat and because of the twin hull style, the ride is smooth, dry, and incredibly stable in calm and choppy waters.
Twin Mercury 4 stroke 150 horse power engines provide plenty of power and allow for a cruising speed of 30 knots (max 40 knots) while maintaining astounding fuel efficiency.
Whether you seek sun or shade, our World Cat will be comfortable for you. There is plenty of shaded seating for those who want to stay covered up from the sun. For those sun lovers, our wrap around bow seating is an excellent place to work on your golden vacation tan.

A slice of paradise Key West Florida
Key West, Florida is known for its breathtaking sunsets and laid-back vibe. It’s a great place to relax and unwind, and you’ll find plenty of interesting things to do and see. The Southernmost Point in the United States is located on a spit of land that forms part of the magnificent Key West harbor, which is home to both a lighthouse and the Southernmost Bar in the United States. You can explore the Key West Harbor and Lighthouse, which are part of the Southernmost Point State Park and preserve the area’s maritime heritage, or explore the downtown area, which is home to many bars and restaurants, galleries, and museums.
Since Key West is a true tropical paradise, the waters around the island provide an amazing opportunity to explore the marine environment. You can even take a diving lesson from an expert if you’d like. Snorkeling is one of the best ways to see the soft coral formations and coral reefs of Key West, Florida. You can watch dolphins in action. The best place to see them is on a dolphin watching cruise, which takes you on a slow tour of the bay so that you’re able to observe the dolphins in their natural habitat. You can also go on a dolphin watching tour, which takes you to a popular dolphin watching location. Both of these options allow you to get really close to the dolphins, which is an incredible opportunity to experience the wildlife of Key West first-hand.
