The Boat and all staff were great. 1st group eating very rushed though because you will miss taking pictures of the sunset. The food was very good as was the open bar. The DJ/Musician was a absolutely awesome! Really set the atmosphere for the evening. Boat and bathroom was clean with plenty of seating. The views were pretty especially coming back. Had a amazing time and would highly recommend.

We booked this experience a week in advance. It was raining on and off throughout the day of the cruise so we called a couple hours ahead of the experience and asked if the cruise would be going. They said they are checking the weather and will let us know by 5 PM if the cruise will depart. We left our house at 5 PM drove 30 minutes to the dock, paid for parking walked in, and then they told us that they had just texted us at 5:29 to cancel the cruise. We wasted parking money and time and were not notified in the manner we were told we would be. As we showed up several other individuals showed up for the same cruise and are also not notified of the cancellation. Additionally, we watched the same company depart with a cruise full of people the same evening on a sunset cruise as the weather had cleared out. It was a very disappointing experience with bad communication. I would not use this company.

Get there early, there are 2 different times for dinner on this cruise.
We did see some dolphins on our way back.

Highly recommend this dinner cruise. What a wonderful experience! The crew was very friendly, the food was good, we met a lovely couple whom we shared a table with, the views were amazing and even with aprox 20mph winds, I did not get seasick. Arrive extra early to get a group one seating for dinner. That way you are on the upper deck to see the entire sunset.

The cruse was wonderful everyone was so friendly and helpful. My husband like the food but I have problems with my gallbladder and I can not eat anything even a little spicey so I could not eat much of the food. That is the only thing I would change is not making all the food spicey.

Paid Parking available directly in front of meeting point. Boat was clean. Staff friendly. Food was absolutely amazing. Seasoned fish on the buffet was the best I had while in Key West.
Sunset was beautiful. We saw multiple dolphins. Met some nice people too. Well worth the trip.

James_C, May 2026
We had a great time. The crew was very nice and the guy playing guitar was amazing. I would give it a five star, but the boat has nowhere for people to sit and everyone was left standing if you weren’t downstairs eating. A lot of the guests on the boat were older and I’m sure would’ve appreciated a place to sit down.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re so glad to hear you had a great time overall and enjoyed our friendly crew and the live music—our guitarist will definitely appreciate the compliment!

The DJ wanna be singer guitar player was horrific! Played a guitar over a CD of songs. WHY?
Would have been better just to listen to the CD.
He then tried to sing and make musical sounds with his voice. HOW DID YOU GET THIS JOB!
Food was subpar for the price.
The Captin and staff were engaging did their jobs very well.
They were the best part of the cruise.

Eva_O, May 2026
Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. The ride was smooth, the weather beautiful and the sunset was beautiful. The staff was also amazing. Not so good: the lack of seating in the upper deck, and the division of the passengers into two dinner groups. When you first get on the boat, everyone is directed to the upper deck, which is open. There is only enough seating for about 10-15 people. The rest have to stand for about 45 minutes until the first dinner seating, which is downstairs. This is not great for elderly passengers or those with balance issues. I recommend stackable plastic chairs. The other issue is dining. If you wind up in the second seating group, you are not going to eat until around 8:00 p.m., so make sure you are not going on the trip with an empty stomach. The food was fairly tasty, although a bit dried out by the second seating. It may be a bit too spicy for sensitive stomachs. Overall, I would recommend the trip, but keep in mind the above limitations.

We had a great time on the sunset dinner cruise. I thought the cruise was going to actually go further than the main channel. We only circled back and forth in front of the harbor. The sunset was beautiful and the food was delicious. We had a wonderful time and we enjoyed the sunset cruise.

They ask you to arrive one hour early and there is no place to sit and wait. Long hot and crowded. No need to arrive early.
