Welcome to episode 21 of the Beneath the Surface Podcast. In this episode, join Corey and Sean as they revisit trips to the Florida Keys which happens to be one of their all-time favorite places. 

In Beneath the Surface Podcast: Keys Reloaded, the guys reflect on the site where BOTE first launched and found out how badass one of their favorite products truly was, the Rover Micro Skiff. Making your mark on the world, voyaging into far off places, and embarking on journeys designed to discover our true selves and grow our knowledge of the world around us--the Rover is the perfect platform to help you take that journey. Whether stalking your catch, opening it up on a flat day, navigating shallow waters, dodging a storm, or hanging with a band of pirates, it’s all in a day’s work in the Florida Keys with the BOTE Rover micro skiff. Kick back and enjoy.
