The reef snorkeling was a highlight of our family in our recent trip to Key West. The captain and mate were helpful in outfitting us with snorkel gear and fins. Both adults and a number of kids were among the 30 some people on the boat, which was nice and accomodated all well. We will definitely sign up to do this adventure again on our next trip to Key West.

The crew was amazing, the snorkeling was great. There was no actual sailing though, which was surprising. It was all via motor. But as long as you don’t have your heart set on a sail, recommend.

This excursion is an absolute must. We got to see bottlenose dolphins on our way out to snorkel, and a loggerhead sea turtle on our way back. Laurie and the Captain were awesome, we are super glad we went on this!

We had a great time! The boat was amazing! Our group only had 11 snorkelers so there was plenty of space for everyone. Charlotte was amazing 1st mate. The captain also did great. Smooth waters made for a perfect day!

Oh my gosh, what a great snorkeling trip we had. The crew was fantastic. Going out on the sailboat was peaceful and low key. We were in no hurry and this was not a cattle boat trip!!! We had our own gear, but their gear was good quality. I would highly recommend it. We would go with these guys again. We are from Oregon and Hunter the “right hand man and does everything guy” was also from there. We had a great chat.

Jared and Owen we're an awesome duo. They both bent over backwards to ensure every element of our snorkeling adventure was perfect. Of all the fun things to do in Key West, this was the event my son was looking forward to the most and Jared and Owen delivered! Thank you both and we will definitely book with Key West Sailing & Snorkeling again!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
They are a great team, we are lucky to have them :) I'm super happy you had a great trip!

My trip was canceled 32 minutes before I was supposed to go. No explanation and they were not able to reschedule before I was to leave Key West
Response from Host, May 2025
We are sorry that you weren't able to go out on your scheduled day, but we did contact you several hours before the departure to allow you more time to rebook to another day or another company the same day.
Barbara_M, Apr 2025
This was a really great way to spend the day. The Sailboat and crew were great. We traveled to a beautiful coral reef and saw plenty of colorful fish, eels, dolphins, and sea turtles! Snorkeling here was memorable!

Rolf_M, Dec 2024
The weather was Way too rough to go sailing and snorkling. Half of participants threw up on the way and the snorkling was too diffocult, we did not see anything. I am sure in calm and sunny weather it would have Been awesome. BUT please cancel these trips when the weather is not good enough. We pay a lot of money, that we feel is a complete waste.
Soham_D, Dec 2024
The guides were very welcoming and helpful. As a group of first-timers, we have a mixed experience with snorkeling. Some of us could see the reef, some colorful fish and a turtle. Definitely going to have a better experience next time.

This sailing and snorkeling trip was really fun. We saw sea turtles as we were sailing and sharks and fish out at the reef. Really fun time plus wine or beer on the way back to the dock.

The crew on the "Floridays" sailboat were terrific. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to snorkel after becoming violently seasick toward the end of the trip out to the reef, but the crew took good care of me. Safety was the priority, and I could tell that all the actual snorkelers had a great time.

Captain and Hunter were a great crew. No crowds. Only six of us on our trip. Safety enforced. Respectful of reef. Beautiful fish. Enjoyed cocktails on return trip. We had a great time!

What a great experience! We had a small group and Emily and capt. Alex were attentive and fun and answered any questions we had. The day was beautiful and the boat was lovely - we even saw multiple dolphins! We all had like an hr to snorkel and there was a lot of beautiful fish to look at & snapped some fun pics. Good beer & soft drink selection. Fun for everyone !

Because of wind we got cancelled. Understandable but I wish we had been given notice instead of standing on the dock with 7 excited children and no boat. We were offered a sail boat ride but they said too rough to snorkel. The Catamarans were still going out — next time I know.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
While we always try to foresee weather issues and notify customer as soon as possible, sometimes we must make that decision at the dock as was the case on that day.
Mark_B, Feb 2024
Booked through Viator because our ship didn’t offer much to choose from. Got lucky and our group of 4 had the whole boat to ourselves- and it didn’t change the tour any! Eric and Sara were awesome and made the trip top notch.

Short safety talk at the beginning of the activity made me feel well-prepared.
It was about an hour of beautiful sailing to the reef and an hour back. We spent an hour at the reef. Initially fairly clear, but gradually became more silty with boat traffic...but that's just the nature of these activities. A moderate amount of fish and other marine life.
Eric and Sarah were a great captain and first mate. Safety-oriented, helpful, and friendly.

The boat is big & beautiful especially when there’s only 6 passengers. Crew Sarah & Eric were very pleasant and knowledgeable. The huge disappointment was that we motored out to the reef and back even though it was perfect conditions for sailing. In fact, by the looks of it, that boat has not been under sale for quite some time! I would almost go, as far to say that this is a case of false advertising. The snorkeling was okay. Although the two people who were first-timers had difficulty swimming to the reef while getting accustomed to their snorkel and ended up returning the boat. Sarah continued to offer beverages and chat with all passengers the entire time. Lovely lady.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Thank you for your review! We raise the sails every chance the wind allows! While we would love to be under sail at all times, we do have to adjust according to that days wind direction and speed.
