Awesome sailing experience - First time in Key West and my son planned this trip for us. It was perfect. Gorgeous weather and our first time on a sailboat. It was amazing. I would highly recommend this excursion for anyone who wants a relaxing sunset experience on the water. Watching the staff shoot the canon was fun too! Crew was awesome!

Beautiful Sunset Cruise - We went on the tour the first week in April. The crew and captain were so friendly and knowledgeable. There was very little wind that evening, but that put the sails up and caught the wind, and took us out for a nice cruise. Then we stopped and watched the outstanding sunset. We will definitely do this again.

Great Harbor Experience - We had a great time! The team was engaging, hardworking and attentive. We have traveled all over the world, this was probably the best harbor sunset we’ve seen. They guided us to the right spot.

Fantastic time! Great for all ages! - We booked this on a whim having read zero reviews (we met one of the Captains on the dock while walking around). We had kids with us and didn’t want a “booze cruise”. This sunset sail was incredibly family friendly (but great for all ages).Plenty of seating, bathrooms, and we got to sail! The pirate aspects to it were a ton of fun. They shot off canons at other boats - the kids we were with loved it, but it is loud for any sensory-sensitive people. The crew was amazing and friendly. So glad we did this and would absolutely do it again!

Fun time for the family - We were going to do the glass bottom boat cruise but the reviews weren’t that great and the Schooner Jolly Rover kept popping up in those reviews as a better experience. The ship and crew are great. Very friendly and it’s cool to watch them work the sails as a team.
