Viator keeps sending me emails to write a review so here goes. Our trip was canceled due to weather, 5ft seas and lightning. The crew seemed nice, it was appreciated that they put the safety of their passengers first.

Had a lot of fun on the reef. Saw plenty of fish and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Great day.

Thank you for the great review! We're so glad you had a fun time out on the reef and got to see plenty of fish. 🐠 We also appreciate your kind words about our friendly and helpful crew. We're happy you had a great day with us and hope to see you again in Key West!
Boat was nice with a top deck that gives a beautiful view. I wish I knew we would be doing this I would have brought my ScubaPro set from home, their snorkel and mask are cheapies. No dive valve to keep water from going down snorkel left everyone swallowing and choking on seawater. You snorkel for 1 hour at 1 spot. We saw 3 species of fish but the waters were full of 8-12” wide jellyfish so everyone was constantly dodging jellys. The best part of the experience was the beautiful cruise out and back and meeting other couples from other places. Oh and free draft Yungling beer and well drinks for the cruise back only. If you’ve never snorkel or don’t get out on the boat much, you may enjoy this.
Enjoyed the boat ride out to the reef, snorkeling and swimming and the ride back. We saw a shark, barracuda, lots of fish and several sea turtles.

We went snorkeling and our Captain and crew were female. They did a fantastic job and were very safety conscious. The crew also was very informative about the reef, history and the different aquatic species. They also told very interesting facts about the dauphins and turtles we saw. The crew was very accommodating to all the passengers. We would book with them again!!

This was a great snorkeling trip! We saw tons of fish and a few sharks. All of the guides were very friendly and helpful. Also a really great price! We don’t really drink but the unlimited water and Powerade was great to have after an afternoon swimming in the sun.

Our guide was awesome! We could really tell he enjoyed sharing tales of Robert and the Fort. We used some ghost hunting equipment and at some point my husbands phone kept lighting up in its own. We spent nearly 2 hours at the fort for the VIP tour. Really spooky!

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
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!

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
