Upon arrival at the Florida Reef, the only living coral barrier reef in the United States and the third-largest in the world, assemble the snorkeling gear and listen to a quick safety briefing with some basic instruction from the experts.
Then, jump into the tropical water for swimming and snorkeling. The shallow reef waters are perfect for easy snorkeling. See more than 600 species of colorful fish, vivid coral, and other sea life.
Back on board, take a seat and kick back with a refreshing beverage—beer, wine, or soft drinks are included on this cruise. And keep an eye out for a pod of dolphins, which could appear next to the boat at any time.
The cruise concludes with a return trip to the Key West Seaport.

Absolutely amazing! We had such a great time, we went back a second time! The crew is more than hospitable, helpful, and very well educated! The drinks were great, the views were beautiful, and we saw plenty of Marine life! Would go back for a third snorkel excursion for sure!

the crew was amazing and made the adventure so much fun. even with the rain at the beginning, the vibes were still high
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for choosing to sail with Sebago, Lara! I'm glad to hear it was still smooth sailing and good vibes even with the pesky rain. We hope to see you again soon!

Boats a huge catamaran that never raises sail. Snorkeling underwhelming. Staff boat captains were rude to the guests. Longest lecture on snorkeling process I have ever been required to sit through. We had a good time because that’s what we were there for but I’m sure there are much better experiences out there.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks for your feedback—we’re glad you still found a way to have a good time, because that’s definitely the goal.
As for the sailing, we absolutely raise the sails whenever conditions allow. Safety and weather always come first, so if it’s not ideal, we stick to a more controlled ride. Not as dramatic, but a lot more responsible.
The “longest lecture” is actually our snorkel safety briefing—less of a lecture, more of a “let’s make sure everyone knows what they’re doing before jumping in the ocean.” It might not be the most thrilling part of the trip, but keeping everyone safe is kind of our top priority.
We’re sorry if the crew came across the wrong way—that’s not the experience we aim for at all. That said, we’re glad you still enjoyed the boat, drinks, and music along the way.
tonyaarrington, Apr 2026
Definitely worth doing the water is so beautiful! The crew onboard was so much fun! I highly recommend doing!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
So glad you had a great time. Beautiful water and a fun crew is always the perfect combo. Come back and do it again anytime.
Allison_Z, Apr 2026
The staff was amazing. The experience itself was absolutely worth every penny. However snorkeling is harder then you may think
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for choosing to sail with Sebago, Allison! I'm glad it was a great experience out at the reef. Come see us again on your next visit and we'll have you snorkeling like a pro in no time!
Melissa_C, Apr 2026
Fun day! We enjoyed the 45 minute ride to the reef, boat was clean and comfortable, crew was friendly, and there was a bathroom on board and plenty of water available. Snorkeling was great…beautiful reef, saw lots of fish, safety information and guidance from the crew was super helpful. Note…snorkeling was off the boat in open ocean, so maybe a bit intimidating for first timers or young kids? That said, the crew did a great job of providing help, ideas and modifications to accommodate various swimming levels and snorkeling experiences. Music and fruity adult drinks were also a fun touch! Would definitely recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you! We’re so glad you had such a fun day. We appreciate your helpful note about the open ocean conditions as well—it’s great to hear the crew was able to support guests of all experience levels. Happy you enjoyed the music and drinks too, and we truly appreciate the recommendation!
Dawn_V, Apr 2026
The crew was friendly. It was great snorkeling! We saw lots of fish at the coral reef and even saw dolphins on the way back.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed the friendly crew and had great snorkeling at the coral reef. Seeing dolphins on the way back sounds like an incredible bonus—we’re thrilled you had such a memorable experience!
Cori_S, Apr 2026
The crew was great, the boat was awesome, clean and spacious. It was the weather that was less than favorable. Windy and the water was choppy. Was not able to see anything.!! Ne t time I will not book a head and only book day of or maybe next day.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your review, Cori! We’re glad you enjoyed the crew and the boat, though we’re sorry the weather didn’t cooperate—wind and choppy conditions can impact visibility.
We completely understand your approach, however, conditions can change quickly and aren’t always predictable even day-of. Our captains are always monitoring and make decisions with safety and overall experience in mind.
We appreciate you joining us and hope to have you back on a calmer, clearer day next time.
Emily_B, Mar 2026
It was perfect! Checking in and getting settled on the boat was a breeze; Everyone on the crew was super nice and made our tour feel super safe and enjoyable; Drinks were yummy; Smooth sailing all around; and the reef they took us to was wonderful with plenty of time to enjoy it.

Excellent and over impressed. Staff were great and even in a “Sporty” day they made sure all who wanted to give it a go got a chance.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for the awesome review, Robert. We love a little “sporty” day on the water—it keeps things interesting. Our crew always makes sure everyone gets a chance to jump in and have fun, no matter the conditions (safely). Glad you were impressed and hope to have you back for another adventure soon!
Kaia_D, Mar 2026
We had an amazing time on our trip! the crew was amazing and were amazing teachers for those who have never snorkeled before. Drinks were flowing and sights were amazing when snorkeling. Also they allowed people to jump off the side of the boat if they wanted to and me and my friends took full advantage of that! So much fun and would go again!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you had an amazing time, enjoyed snorkeling, and had fun jumping off the boat. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to the crew and hope to see you again soon!
Dale_R, Mar 2026
Great overall experience. Ship crew were top-notch. Tons of space to stretch out during the cruise to/from snorkeling location (approximately 45-min each way). Quality snorkeling gear provided for use and detailed instructions provided to make the best of your time in the water. Nice selection at the open bar and long “operating hours”. Saw lots of different fish but plant and coral areas were a little disappointing. Snorkeling is not one of my favorite pastimes but this experience seemed just right based on everything provided. Tip: if you want to maximize your time in the water take one of the authorized side exits vs the stairs in the front of the ship. I believe the trip is maxed out at 75 pax. We had 73 so it took quite a bit of time for the last person to get in the water using the stairs. Enjoy!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for the detailed review! We’re glad you enjoyed the crew, spacious boat, quality gear, and overall snorkeling experience. We appreciate your tips for maximizing time in the water and feedback on the coral and plant areas, this helps us continue improving.
William_v, Feb 2026
Top notch crew as usual with this outfit. Professional, friendly and helpful. Had a great time in the reef and the ride. The boat is huge! Lots of space for everyone. Drinks are a bonus. Thanks for always making our yearly keys trip memorable.

Sarah_C, Jan 2026
It was exactly as we anticipated. There were a lot of people on the boat, but the staff was great and well prepared. The equipment they provided was in good condition, but I felt the water wasn't that clear and I had a hard time seeing a lot on the reef.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad our staff and equipment met your expectations and helped make the trip enjoyable. We’re sorry the water clarity made it harder to see the reef, and we appreciate your feedback. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure!

Very rude staff.. 10 mins of snorkeling in 30 feet water. They were in big rush.. just roamed around in the water to kill time. Very rude staff. Very bad experience. Over crowded too.

Had a great time! Friendly and knowledgeable crew. Great spot for snorkeling. Enjoyed the free drinks too!
Stefanie_G, Dec 2025
Actual snorkeling was cool but mediocre experience because the boat operators and instructors were jerks (unfortunately,
especially to foreigners). They could have been a lot more patient and kind, especially with those who needed extra help or were timid. Will look for a different company next time.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience with our staff. Patience and kindness are essential, and it’s unacceptable that you felt poorly treated. Your comments will be shared with our management team to address this and improve our guest experience. We appreciate you letting us know and would love for you to reach out directly.
