The coral reefs weren’t colorful. Mostly grey and white. There were a few brightly colored fish. The crew was super

Great crew, great knowledge and support. My adult daughter over heated before we got on the boat and they were quick to offer her ice pack and Powerade. She ended up having a great trip, along with the rest of the family

Awesome trip! Great crew! Beautiful and comfy catamaran. Plenty of room and we didn’t feel crowded. An earthquake (6.1 magnitude) happened off the coast of Cuba while we were out snorkeling and no one felt a thing or noticed any change in the water. We found out about the earthquake when we got back that evening. We did see one shark but he was harmless and not interested in any of the snorkelers.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for the awesome review! We're so glad you enjoyed your Afternoon Reef Snorkeling trip and found the catamaran spacious and comfortable. It's great to hear that you never felt crowded and that our crew helped make the experience a memorable one.
What a unique day on the water! Thankfully, as you mentioned, there were no noticeable effects from the earthquake while out at the reef. And spotting a shark in its natural habitat is always an exciting bonus—especially when it's simply passing by and minding its own business!
Thank you for choosing Sunset Watersports, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable snorkeling adventure in Key West. 🦈🐠🌊☀️😊

the trip was nice but short only 1 hour in the ocean... also the boat was overcrowded. not enough place to be comfortable
Jeff_V, May 2026
This was a lot of fun, and a nice way to spend an afternoon in Key West. The captain and crew were great. I would have given 5 stars if the boat had seating enough for everyone, but many of us had to stand the whole time. Other than that, it was a great snorkeling experience!
Response from Host, Jun 2026

Dead reef and almost no fish. Definitely not what was expecting. After sharing mine email with this company, I received a lot of nasty spam emails
Melissa_H, May 2026
The captain and her crew were very nice. Answered questions and visited with guests. They gave a brief overview of what to do when you got in the water, but if someone had additional questions, they answered those as well.The vessel and the equipment were clean. If we come back to the area, we will likely do this again. I also felt the price was fair.

The water was beautiful. The ride in and out way smooth. The staff were so nice and helpful. The only downfall was the majority of the reef is dying. You won’t see bright colors. Some of the fish were colorful, but there weren’t many.

Gina_H, Mar 2026
Did not go to big reef due to waves. They took us to a smaller one. Anchored to far away for many of us on board to swim to reef. I got in from the front and swam around back to get out of the water. No sand bar either. Husband stayed in and saw one fish a little coral. The swim was to far One man was smoking a cigarette on board. Captain was great.
John_R, Feb 2026
Took my kids. Great for all ages and swimming experience. Saw dolphins and lots of fish. Totally worth it.
Response from Host, Feb 2026

We love hearing that it was a great experience for all ages and swimming levels — that’s exactly what we strive for. It’s especially exciting that you spotted dolphins and saw lots of fish at the reef. Some days Mother Nature really shows off, and we’re so glad you and your kids got to enjoy it!

Linda_J, Feb 2026
I really believe they should have canceled for the day. The water was very choppy and rough and most people couldn't stay in the water snorkeling for more than 5 or 10 minutes. It was cold and you couldn't see 5 ft in front of your face. And the Margaritas were the worst I've ever had. Won't be doing this again with this company
Josh_B, Feb 2026
The staff, They are very friendly and kind! Great experience and amazing sights under the water!!!!!

It was a fun experience but the water was too cold which I did think about when I booked but still did anyway. The boat was nice as was the free drinks. The reef they took us too was young so not much fish.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the boat, drinks, and overall adventure. We’d love to welcome you back for another great trip soon!
