The tour was canceled by the tour company an hour before it was supposed to start, because they did not have enough participants.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re truly sorry for the inconvenience this caused. We understand how frustrating it is to have a tour canceled so close to the start time, especially when you’ve already planned your day around it.
While cancellations due to minimum participant requirements can occasionally happen, we always aim to provide as much notice as possible. We sincerely apologize that this was not your experience.
Your feedback is important to us, and we’ll be reviewing our communication process to improve how we handle situations like this in the future. We hope we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you on board for a much smoother experience next time.

Since I walk with a cane, I was a bit leary about stepping onto the boat. With the help of my husband and the Appledore staff, I was able to get on and off the boat easily and safely. We had a wonderful time.

We took some friends on this adventure on one of the coldest days I’ve ever experienced in Key West, but we still had the best time! The boat is beautiful and th ride, in spite of the rough seas, was very smooth! We did get wet- but we laughed so hard it didn’t matter! Drinks were good and plentiful!

We shot a cannon at the apposing ship passing us!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Total blast right back at you!!!! 💥⛵️ We love that you had such an amazing time — and honestly, firing the cannon at a “rival ship” is about as legendary as it gets! 😂 Our crew will be thrilled to know they made such a big splash (even if the names sailed off with the sea breeze!). We hope you come back soon for another adventure on the high seas! 🏴☠️✨

Captain Pablo and his crew took us out on their beautiful boat for a beautiful sail. They were very interesting and attentive, and the open bar was a nice touch. A hands-on experience was offered, and much appreciated. Could not have been more fun. We recommend it.

Very enjoyable way to get out on the water. Sailing was so peaceful compared to being on a power boat. The crew was great too.
GeraldoMajela_K, Dec 2025
Nice walk, but it was just walking. It wasn't in any tourist spot. More crew fine people.
