crimmper Posted July 28, 2007 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Has anyone done this and if so, how intense or non-intense is it :confused: Also where is the location of this excursion in comparison to Pier B. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted July 28, 2007 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Is this the Thriller Powerboat? If so, it is out of the Ocean Key House adjacent to Pier A, just behind the Sunset Pier. It is walking distance from Pier B. I've never ridden on the boat, but seen it in the harbor many times. It looks like fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Knuckle is located at Hurricane Hole Marina 5130 Overseas Hwy. (U.S.1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted July 28, 2007 #4 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I don't think thats the one. White Knuckle is located at Hurricane Hole Marina5130 Overseas Hwy. (U.S.1) Ok. I'm not sure what that is. But I can tell you where the Hurricane Hole is. It's 4 miles from the pier. It's actually outside of Key West, one island up on Stock Island. You'll have to take transportation to and from because there isn't anything else of sight-seeing value in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimmper Posted July 29, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Ok, thanks for the reply. Not worried about transportation, we have this excursion through the cruise ship and transportation is included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen this boat. It is located right under Hurricane Joe's Restaurant on the right just as you enter Stock Island from Key West.

plasticformer Posted August 22, 2007 #10 Share Posted August 22, 2007 For $60 per person (did I read that right?) It better be worth it. Plastic man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimmper Posted August 24, 2007 Author #11 Share Posted August 24, 2007 We spent a good half hour or more zig-zagging and doing 360's. The owner/driver takes break every once in a while and tells a corny joke or two. He also talks about the surrounding area. Pretty amazing that this boat ride is done in 4ft of water. IMOP it was well worth the $59 per person. We were picked up at the pier and brought back. So I guess you can add that into the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyCapt Posted November 16, 2007 #12 Share Posted November 16, 2007 We did the whiteknuckle boat on Nov 6th. It was a blast and we considered it one of the highlights of our trip. The owners are a couple from Michigan and were very friendly and accomodating. They picked us up at the pier and brought us back with no problems. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for fun while in KW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
