Ship Shape! - Took the sunset cruise to celebrate my wife's birthday. An absolutely wonderful experience! Captain Mario and first mate Rene were perfect hosts and run a very tight ship. Watching them work together to set the sails and navigate to the sunset was a pleasure. The cocktails and hors d oeuvres made for an exceptional experience. Even though a cloud appeared and obstructed our sunset, we were by no means disappointed. This is a "must do" while in Key West.

Beautiful sunset cruise - Loved sailing on a schooner. The group was small enough that we could talk to the deck hands. They were engaged, fun and full of stories. We also had some nice conversations with the other guests.

We had a wonderful time! - The views were absolutely amazing! We went on the sunset cruise. It was a 2 hour cruise with amazing hors d'oeuvres and yummy rum punch! The sangria was pretty tasty as well! The price was reasonable and worth every penny. A very relaxing cruise with a small group of people. The captain and Renee were wonderful.
