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 weather was bad - it was a beautiful sail once it cleared Everyone on the boat was nice . We had an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend it.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Cyndy! I am so happy to hear it was still a great day onboard even with the pesky weather. Please give us a call on your next visit and we'll be sure to help you find the best day for a five star experience!
The Sebago staff was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly! They reviewed everything with us and told us what area to stay in to see the most. We went during the boat races and were able to watch that in the way in/out as well!
Response from Host, Nov 2026
We are thrilled that you had a great time! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and the 5 star review. We hope to see you again if your travels bring you back to Key West!
Clean boat with great crew. Everything was efficient and fun. They sailed us around a small shower and we snorkeled in the sun. Would recommend!
Response from Host, Nov 2026

Great experience friendly service, great for families. Highly recommend , large Catamaran with a super friendly staff
Response from Host, Nov 2026
Thank you for the five stars and kind recommendation, Jose! We hope to welcome you back aboard soon!
Thank you so much for the wonderful trip! A fantastic and friendly crew and a great boat. We had a lot of fun, and I even saw a shark at the reef. Greetings to the crew and Captain Shay. Greetings from Germany, Jan and Claudia
Response from Host, Oct 2026
A shark sighting—how cool is that?! So glad you had a blast with us! We'll pass along the love to Captain Shay and the crew. Sending sunny Key West greetings all the way to Germany!
Beautiful and very helpful while ensuring everyone was enjoying their time by checking to see if anyone need anything. Great experience
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thanks for the love! We're so glad you had a great time and our crew took such good care of you. That's what we're here for! Hope to see you back onboard soon, Heather!
The best snorkeling, free drinks and music it was so much fun. We seen alot of colorful fish and the water was beautiful. We did hit a few rain clouds but that's part of the adventure!!!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Now that’s the Key West spirit—a little rain just adds to the adventure, Michael! We’re so glad you had a blast snorkeling, spotting all those colorful fish, and enjoying the music and drinks. Thanks for hanging out with us!
The catamaran was exactly as pictured — spotless, comfortable, and well stocked. The captain and crew were fun, friendly, and professional, and they truly made the excursion an enjoyable experience from start to finish. The only drawback was the coral reef itself, which wasn’t very impressive and didn’t offer much to see. If your main goal is vibrant snorkeling, you may want to explore other options. But if you’re looking for a great group outing or a fun, laid‑back booze‑cruise style trip, this is an excellent choice.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for the five stars and kind words for our team, Stuart! I am happy to hear that our crew and vessel were able to make it a great day out on the water. We hope to welcome you back aboard on your next visit to Key West!
Great excursion, great staff. We met new people, saw many fish, and had great drinks. From novice to experienced its a great trip.
Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you for the awesome review, Tamara! We're so glad you had such a great experience and enjoyed the beautiful, clear water. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to the crew, and we can't wait to welcome you back onboard again soon.
such a great experience and probably our favorite day. the boat ride is about 45 minutes to an hour and is absolutely beautiful. The open bar is incredible and fully stocked. Snorkeling was about an hour to an hour and a half and it went by SO fast! highly recommend doing this over a regular beach day
Response from Host, Jun 2026
We love hearing that this was your favorite day, Kaitlyn! There's just something special about trading a beach day for a day on the water. Thanks for the recommendation, and we hope to have you back onboard for another adventure soon.
The people were very friendly and thorough. However, the snorkel masks were very foggy. Being pretty experienced snorkelers we were surprised they didn’t offer an anti fog of some kind. Several times we used saliva and rinsed but it didn’t work. Therefore, there may have been plenty of fish to see but we weren’t able to see them. When I asked after why no anti fog I was told that all the companies buy the same cheap masks and nothing works to make them clear. Completely unacceptable for a snorkel tour. The next day we met some people that went snorkeling with a competitor and she said they had absolutely no problems with their masks and the snorkeling was great. Very very disappointing.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found our team friendly and thorough throughout your experience. We’re sorry to hear that the snorkeling equipment impacted your enjoyment of the trip. Clear vision is a very important part of a snorkeling experience, and we understand how frustrating it must have been to miss out on seeing the marine life because of fogging issues with your mask. We do want to clarify that we always have defogger available onboard for guests to use, and our crew should have absolutely provided it for you. We appreciate your feedback regarding the equipment and will share your comments with our team as we continue reviewing ways to enhance the guest experience. Thank you again for recognizing the efforts of our crew and for sharing your honest feedback.
We had an absolutely fantastic time on this catamaran snorkeling tour! From start to finish, everything was well organized and exceeded our expectations. The snorkeling equipment provided was excellent, and the instructions were some of the best I’ve ever received on any snorkeling excursion. The crew took the time to thoroughly explain everything, making everyone feel comfortable, confident, and safe before getting in the water.
The boat itself was spacious, clean, and very well maintained, with plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy the ride. However, the true highlight of the trip was the incredible staff. Shay, Travis, and Alexa were outstanding! They were genuinely friendly, attentive, and worked hard to make sure everyone was having a great time while prioritizing safety. Our drinks were never empty, and their positive energy made the entire afternoon even more enjoyable.
This was easily one of the highlights of our Key West vacation. We couldn’t have asked for a better crew or a more enjoyable experience. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for the amazing review! We'll be sure to pass the shoutout along to Shay, Travis, and Alexa. They do an incredible job creating a fun, safe, and memorable experience for our guests. We're honored to have been a highlight of your Key West vacation and truly appreciate the recommendation. Hope to see you onboard again soon!
The crew was friendly and fun. Nice boat. The group was not too large. Drinks were great! Close to the cruise port, easy to find.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Sounds like all the pieces came together for a great trip. Friendly crew, good drinks, and an easy walk from the cruise port is always a winning combination. Thanks for sailing with us, Jill!
This was a great time. Very helpful crew and so much fun. The water was perfect, and the reef was great.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for the five stars, Matthew! We hope to see you sailing with Sebago again soon!
My first time snorkeling. A very fun, easy trip. Lots of fun and the crew was PHENOMENAL!! Would go again.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for choosing Sebago, Rachel! We are here year round and look forward to seeing you again.
Snorkeling was pretty good, boat and crew were excellent, plenty of drinks and beer, 3 hours total on the boat, excellent value.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thanks for the great review, Mike! We’ll always have cold beverages waiting for you anytime you’re ready to sail with us again!
Would have been a better experience if the mother that took her terrified child out in the ocean while he screamed saying she wanted to go back and she kept telling him no and to shut up and forced him to be out in the water. I wish they would have told her she needed to take her Child back to the boat. Other issue was we could barely see a thing. Some fish thats it. No coral not much of anything. The water was not very calm. Now the boat experience and the crew were amazing!!! Wish I personally had a better experience with it being my first time snorkelint but the Inconsiderate mother that was traumatizing her child and the murky waters made my 1st time not the greatest ill do it again. The crew was great the boat ride also great.
Response from Host, May 2026
We’re sorry that part of the experience was distracting for you. Our crew will absolutely step in anytime there is a safety concern onboard or in the water, but when it comes to family dynamics and parenting situations, we do try to be respectful unless someone is in danger.
As for the visibility, conditions can definitely vary day by day depending on weather, swell, and currents. Sometimes the ocean likes to keep things interesting. And for first-time snorkelers especially, remember slow is pro.
We’re really glad to hear the crew and boat experience stood out positively for you, and we appreciate you giving snorkeling a try. We hope to have you onboard again soon for an even better experience next time.
Amazing trip. Excellent safety instructions. Beautiful snorkelling. Very friend my crew. John, travis, and the the crew were amazing 🥰.
Response from Host, May 2026
Sounds like an amazing day out there, Sharon! We’re so glad you enjoyed the snorkeling and that the safety briefing set you up for a great experience. John, Travis, and the crew will love the shoutout.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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. Absolutely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to have a super fun snorkeling day.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for the amazing recommendation, Emily! I'm so happy to hear that our team was able to show you the best of Key West out on the water. We hope to welcome you back aboard soon!
