Zany Frozen Cocktail Bar on Duval Street
Could I post a comment about Fat Tuesday Duval. I would like to invite all to join us for the Most Outrageous selection of alcohol in Key West featured at the Fat Tuesday Bar (add website link below). The drink list is legendary and a few of our hotties include: Margarita Gold • Mango Madness • Eye Candy • Pina Colada • Kiwi Colada • Violet Behavior • 190 Octane • Rum Runner Classic • and the Kahlua Mudslide to list a few. Visitors and locals can use our website to keep track of bar events and the daily Happy Hour Specials. We have a cold one waiting for you!

When is the best time to visit Key West?
If visitors can try to book their resort around one of our great events, it just pumps things up a notch. This is a party town that likes to have fun. You would not believe all of the ongoing events festivals. Some of my favorites are Fantasy Fest, Poker Run, Powerboat Races, Blue Fest, Captain Tony Days, and the Bartender Wars! The list of events here is huge. That is my tip, try to come during a special event. Cheers.

Things to know about Renting a Boat or Waverunner
When you start the process of renting a boat, waverunner, jet-ski or any watercraft with an engine, you should know some basics that the rental agency should be performing. True for even the little shop that is behind most of larger resorts in the Florida Keys. This is the process of pre-ride explaining all of the general things you need to know: boat propulsion, how to steer-stop, explain all the warning labels, techniques to board or re-board if thrown out, local navigation rules, typical hazards, how to be seen, and what constitutes reckless operation. Yes, these are important and you really will enjoy everything more if you pay very close attention. Accidents happen too often, and are most typically avoidable.

Where to get Boat Supplies in South Florida?
Here are the better places that have delivered well for us over the years. (1) For Miami, go with River Marine Supply. (2) The Upper Florida Keys has the Giant Bass Pro in Islamorada. (3) Down in Key West go with the West Marine by the Seaport (near the Key West Bait and Tackle Shop, very good too.). Boaters have much more limited boating supply shops as compared to Miami or Fort Lauderdale. The stores mentioned will have all the gear: Baitcast Reels, Breathable Rain Gear, Bilge Pumps, Boat Seats, Transom Mounts, Belts & Harnesses, Outriggers & Gaffs, Saltwater Rods, Tools & Pliers, Kayaks, Monofilament Line, Personal Locator Beacons, Downriggers, Bimini Boat Tops, Canoe & Kayak Accessories, Fishing Accessories, Onboard Grills, Marine Batteries, Knives & Sharpeners, Marine Chargers, and More. Hope this helps.
