This was the best boat tour we’ve been on down here! The crew was super fun and kept us entertained. Capt Harley, Carl, Jeremy and Simone were very friendly and knowledgeable. Carl set off several cannon shots at other boats after some good natured taunting between us. Gorgeous sunset also! Will do this again when we return!

Captain Tom and his crew were great! Very informative and a fun time on the water. Worth every penny and can’t wait to do it again.

A relaxing sail out to see the sunset. The crew was very friendly and we had a great time. Would again.

"Green Flash" on a perfect sunset

Curtis_D, Mar 2026
We were looking for a sunset cruise that did not market towards the "booze cruise" crowd, and this was it. You can bring your own snacks or drinks, as the crew does not provide alcohol on board. The crew were all very engaging and took the time to meet all on board and thoroughly explained the itinerary. We could not have been happier, between the beautiful sunset, smooth sailing, and wonderful crew. We would 100% recommend.

Kent_P, Jan 2026
This crew focuses more on your experience than others I have been with. Others are more "party" boat. This crew was having fun actually sailing and talking with passengers.

Really nice boat, beautiful sails. Unfortunately there wasn't a lot of wind that day so we didn't get to see it in full action.

Fantastic and calming sail and perfect ending with a colorful sunset!!

Linda_M, Aug 2025
The ship was a perfect size with about 18 people plus crew. It was smooth sailing and very calming with beautiful views. The crew interacted with all those on board. Some helped lift the sails, children and adults could sit at the helm!! They even shot off a small cannon at a variety of boats.

Very pleasant I love the way the ship sail

Damon_C, Aug 2025

Linda_H, Jan 2025
Misunderstood cruise. Thought there were music, snacks and drinks.,it was cold and seats were up On deck. This trip is for summer. We dudnmt go. Sux people scheduled. We were four and last two didn’t show. We chose not to go under circumstances.

Awesome Cruise

Mark_P, Dec 2024
Great cruise. We had a wonderful time, crew is amazing. Definitely worth the trip and would take it again.

Nice, cool experience sailing close to Key West pretending to a be a pirate.

Rossen_N, Nov 2024
Great adventure. Small group fo people, nice plot (pirates), and great experience in Ket West waters. Shots were fired, stories were told. Be a part of Key West history and enjoy the adventure. Chat with the crew. They have lived in the area for a while and can tell you the stories.

Great time!

janet_w, Aug 2024
We had so much fun when the crew fired their cannons at passing boats! Being on the water a sunset was so pleasant and pretty. The crew were very knowledgable and made it a great experience.

The perfect sunset cruise

Dixon_B, Jul 2024
Ended up choosing this sunset cruise because it seemed more intimate. It did not disappoint. There were 12 guests on the boat and once we got to sailing it was so quiet and nice out on the ocean. That was until the cannon came out! What great fun it was! We would do it again and again.

A silent moment as the sun slips away...

Lee_B, Jul 2024
Such a great experience for family or a small group of friends who just want to have a few quiet moments watching the world go to sleep for the evening. Crew is fantastic and engaging and made for a good time.

Awesome sunset cruise!

Robert_B, Jun 2024
Amazing sunset cruise. Everyone from, Bill the owner, Rachel the Captain, Chris the deck hand and all of the deck hands were kind, courteous, informative and made our trip phenomenal! From firing the canons to watching the amazing sunset, we had an amazing experience and will definitely be back!

New Family Sailing Tradition

LINDA_N, May 2024
Wonderful crew, sailing ship and exciting experience! They made us feel comfortable and at home at sea and made my granddaughter's birthday celebration a precious memory. We wanted to stay longer than two hours! What a beautiful experience! We will certainly come back every year.This will be part of our family tradition!

Fantastic voyage!

Andrew_F, May 2024
I’ve always wanted to sail, it was an amazing experience to be out there to watch the sun go down. The crew were super friendly and attentive, the captain was great! Really chill and really knowledgeable, pointing out facts about various boats and islands and answering any other questions anyone had. The boat wasn’t super full so it made for an even better experience as you could move around easily. It was fun to watch them shoot off the canon at other passing ships. Choose this over a loud party catamaran you won’t regret it.

Best Sunset cruise!!
