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.

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
Thank you so much for your wonderful review of our Key West Afternoon Reef Snorkeling with Open Bar trip with Sunset Watersports Key West!
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!
Thank you for choosing to spend part of your Key West adventure with us. We truly appreciate you saying it was “totally worth it” — that means the world to our crew. We hope to welcome your family back out on the water again soon! 🐬🐠🌊
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!!!!!
Response from Host, Feb 2026

We’re so glad you had a great experience and enjoyed the amazing sights underwater. Our friendly crew will love hearing your kind words! Hope to see you again soon!
Erin_P, Feb 2026
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!

This trip involves a one hour cruise to the reef, an hour to snorkel and an hour back. Snorkel and flippers (if you want them) are provided, and wetsuits can be hired for $20. There are toilets on board and a shower hose for rinsing off after the swim. You are also required to wear a life vest while snorkeling so will remain on the surface if the water.
The day I did the trip was after bad weather so there were only 9 people on board - apparently there are usually up to a hundred. The visibility was not great as a result of the bad weather. It was nevertheless an enjoyable experience.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your experience with us. We’re glad to hear you still enjoyed the trip despite the challenging weather conditions. Weather can definitely affect visibility at any moment, and we appreciate your understanding. We’re also happy you found the onboard amenities and snorkeling setup comfortable and convenient. Smaller groups can make for a more relaxed experience, and we hope you’ll consider joining us again on a future trip when conditions are ideal so you can see the reef at its best. Thanks again for choosing to snorkel with us!

Check in was fine. Everyone boards. Quick and legal information given to passengers as well as explaining the tipping appreciation policy. Quick ride out. Snorkeling with some fish. Saw a crab and a lobster head. Back in boat. You can enjoy included alcohol on the way back. They did stop for fortificating dolphins (highlight of the trip). We tipped on Venmo. Departed at scheduled time and said goodbye ( both deck hands and captain) said goodbye while asking for tips. That was it.
Sofie_N, Jan 2026
The crew were great! The experience felt very safe and professional. They gave clear instructions about the snorkelig experience. Would highly recommend!

Great day of snorkeling! Bonus that we saw turtles and dolphins on our boat trip back! We had a good time on this trip
MaryBeth_M, Dec 2025
This company had us go out on this trip even with a small craft advisory warning. When we arrived there were not enough snorkels and masks for everyone. Crew said it wasn’t their fault. The water was so choppy one had trouble swimming ( and I’m a good swimmer) never did get to see anything and getting back on a boat that is rocking and rolling was so difficult I have bruises on my legs. When I called the company with my complaint I was told I’d get a call back. No one bothered. I’d go with some of the other companies that cancel when the water is not safe!
Starlene_M, Nov 2025
This was a nice, clean and organized snorkeling trip for our family of four. We on had one stop, but we saw a lot of fish and other sea life. The trip was not very expensive and the bar was free after snorkeling. The drinks were great and not light on the alcohol. The crew was professional and friendly.
Rob_D, Sept 2025
Fun time, not a real large group.
Worth the money spent. The crew was very good and helpful. The person at the Sunrise check-in was rude. Didn't answer my question.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re so glad to hear you had a fun time on the water and that our crew made your experience enjoyable and worthwhile. We sincerely apologize for your experience at check-in — that’s not the level of service we strive for, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention so we can address it with our team. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back for an even better experience next time.

The staff was helpful and provided good instruction regarding snorkeling and equipment. Safety instructions clear. Not a lot of Shade so don’t fit sunscreen.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Hi Nancy thanks for sharing your great review, hope to see you again on your next adventure.
Jennifer_K, Aug 2025
You get what you pay for. The boat felt extremely overcrowded because there were 101 guests on board. There were not enough seats so people were stealing seats and moving other people’s belongings. It was not the experience we were looking for because we were hoping to play music and dance, but there were so many people on board we felt that it would be very rude to change the music. We were on a bachelor trip and I tried to save the group some cash on this part of the trip, but in the end we did not get the experience we wanted.
