SIP & SAIL REVIEWS

This was a great sunset cruise experience. The boat was clean and accommodating. The view of the Key West sunset was spectacular. The drinks were delicious and plentiful. I would highly recommend this trip!

Great time, well worth it. Crew were knowledgeable and helpful. My daughters (both in their 20’s) thoroughly enjoyed. The sunset sail gives great views of the island from the ocean. Highly recommend this sunset cruise!

Our family had an amazing time on the sunset sip & sail and would definitely recommend Sunset Watersports to others. All staff were fun, informative, and my daughters had a great time. Overall, an amazing company to choose for some fun on the water!

It was so much fun!! Highly recommend doing this with your friends and family. We had a blast. Honestly well worth it. Jake even took photos for us and sent them to each group!

Add a chilled beverage and a loved one to share the occasion and the result is sublime. Click on a selection below to learn more about the most popular Key West Sunset Cruises.

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers provided below are based on answers previously given to customers' questions.

Q: What type of boats are used for Key West Sunset Cruises?

A: The diversity of available sunset cruise vessels is one of the things that make Key West Sunset Cruises so special. Guests who enjoy sailing can choose a 65-foot skipjack schooner with authentic lines that replicate the sailboats used by 19th century Florida Keys fishermen and wreckers. Or a modern sailing catamaran with the stability, speed, and generous deck space these craft are known for. Power catamarans are fast and smooth, perfect watersports or dolphin-watching platforms. And of course, enjoying a buffet dinner and cocktails aboard a 65-foot custom party catamaran should be on everyone’s bucket list. For a wedding, anniversary, or other special occasion, try a private charter to have a sail or power yacht all to yourself.

All the boats used for these popular Key West Sunset Cruises are top-of-the-line designs built for safety, comfort, and fun on the waters around Key West. The United States Coast Guard regularly inspects every Key West Sunset Cruise boat, and all required safety equipment is aboard and properly updated at all times. This is luxury sunset cruising at its best, with expert local captains and crew members, high-tech navigation gear, and the latest in quiet, efficient, low-emission engines. Plus, there are those added touches to enjoy like room for cocktail and wine service, deck space for top local musicians to perform, and even a bit of space to dance on some cruises.

Q: What makes a Key West Sunset Cruise so special?

A: Something about sunset in a tropical island location inspires people to a greater appreciation for what is normally a simple daily event. The famous and elusive Waikiki sunset “green flash” draws hundreds of camera-toting tourists to the Kalakaua Avenue beach walk each evening. Maui has Mt. Haleakala, the “House of the Sun” with sunsets worth an hour drive up the mountain. Beach bar decks in Phuket Thailand get packed as early evening comes on. And sunset in Key West is definitely a big deal whether seen from land or water.

Mallory Square and the nearby anchorage waters have been a hub of activity in Key West for over two hundred years, and when hippies arrived in town during the late 1960’s, they discovered that Mallory Pier offered a perfect wide-open view to the west. The custom of celebrating the amazingly colorful ocean sunsets took hold, and now Mallory Square and the Key West sunsets are both world famous.

Visitors have been boarding boat tours out of the harbor near today’s Mallory Square since the mid-19th century. With quiet, unobstructed on-deck views, the blazing orange, red, and purple clouds along the horizon and the awesome disc of the sun visible as it slides out of sight captured attention very early on. Now, modern vessels are able to provide visitors with a nice range of specialized sunset-watching cruises to suit any taste, and the best way to find out why Key West Sunset Cruises are so special is to come aboard and try one (or more).

Q: Which Key West Sunset Cruise is best for me?

A: The only easy choice among the many popular Key West Sunset Cruises is deciding to go on one. After that, the variety of attractive options may easily lead a visitor to decide that the only solution is to enjoy more than one sunset on the water! But if a choice of just one (or two) must be made, the best strategy is to consider what you like best and who is joining you for what could easily be the highlight of any Key West visit.

Naturally, the idea of gliding smoothly over turquoise water under sail while toasting a perfect day with a cold beer, glass of wine, or cocktail is very tempting. A Sunset Sip & Sail or Premium Sunset Sail with Hors D’oeuvres and Full Bar will provide a perfect happy hour start for a couple planning an evening on the town.

For an active family, or anyone who enjoys the water, taking an afternoon snorkeling trip that winds down with a beautiful sunset (and beverages) offers the best of both worlds. A Key West Sunset Snorkel Sail is just the ticket. Nature lovers should try a Glass-Bottom Boat Tour Sunset Combo or take the Dolphin Watch Sunset Snorkel Cruise.

Looking to party with some reggae or just enjoy live music and a cocktail hour at sunset? Take a look at Rum n’ Reggae or the Sunset Party Cruise. The award-winning Key West Wind & Wine Sunset Sail is notable for its pairing of fine wines and craft beers with gourmet appetizers. Special occasions (and every Key West sunset is special) call for a Sunset Champagne Cruise or Dinner Cruise. And for the ultimate in luxury, gather family and friends or just one significant other on a 65-foot schooner and sail away on a Key West Wind & Wine Private Charter.

Q: What kind of wine is served on the Key West Wind & Wine Sunset Sail?

A: Looking for a sunset cruise with a focus on fine wine to go with the fine view? The Key West Wind & Wine Sunset Sail is a legend with locals and visitors alike. This elegant and awesome sunset cruise has pulled down top ratings on Trip Advisor for several consecutive years in addition to earning a Top Sunset Cruise designation (one of the top 2 in North America) from Coastal Living Magazine. The Wind & Wine is a cruise that stands above the rest because it is one of very few sailing excursions in the United States that offers a selection of “real” fine wines from America and around the world.

A small group will gather on deck beneath the billowing sails to enjoy an intimate atmosphere, tropical music, and the incredible Key West sunset along with 8 different wines from around the world and 5 types of domestic and imported beer. There are usually 4 red and 3 white wines plus a champagnoise open for the tasting. The charcuterie and cheese board goes far beyond simple sailors’ rations to deliver the perfect wine pairings with Dill Havarti, Smoked Gouda, fresh Mozzarella, and Brie cheeses. Caprese skewers, summer sausage, honey-drizzled green apple slices, fruit, water crackers and more make for the ultimate water-borne wine tasting session.

Q: Skipjack schooner or catamaran – which one is best for a sunset cruise?

A: Sailing schooners and sailing or powered catamarans are the two most popular Key West sunset cruise vessels. In fact, these are the most commonly used craft for all types of Key West water tours from Backcountry snorkeling and kayak tours to glass-bottom boat rides. The reason for this is simple – skipjack-style schooners and catamarans are both shallow-draft boats that are well-suited to navigating the sandbar- and reef-filled waters around Key West.

Skipjack schooners were originally designed for harvesting oysters in shallow Chesapeake Bay. Adopted for use by 19th-century Florida Keys wreckers, sailors who would race out to salvage cargo from ill-fated ships caught on the reefs around the Keys, skipjacks became very common in local waters as general working and fishing boats. Modern catamarans are adaptations of ancient Polynesian boat designs used by sea-going peoples who lived on tropical islands ringed by shallow coral reefs and lagoons. The ability to skim through the shallows and land directly on the beach was critical. Known for their stability and versatility, today’s catamarans are the fastest and shallowest-running boats on the water.

Both types of vessel provide a safe, comfortable ride and can take guests to the best places to sightsee and play in Key West waters. Do you enjoy a touch of history and the romance of a tall ship under sail? Then a schooner would be a good choice. These classic ships have been sailing out of Key West for over 200 years, and guests who come aboard a Key West schooner today are in for an award-winning luxury sunset cruise.

Catamarans also move very gracefully under sail, but a key difference is that the cat’s deck remains level at all times because the vessel does not heel (lean over under the wind power) like a single-hull sailboat. A catamaran can also offer more wide-open deck space between the two hulls. This allows for seating at tables, live music and dancing, and ease of movement around deck for enjoying the view and taking pictures. The broad, flat deck also makes the catamaran a great play boat for an afternoon of watersports and sunbathing.

Schooners and catamarans are both a lot of fun on the water, so the choice between them is mainly about a guest’s personal preference. Planned activities for the sailing trip as well as any physical limitations and the need for ease of movement should also be considered. Of course, many Key West visitors end up going out on both types of vessel to enjoy not only beautiful sunset cruises but the many other opportunities for fun on and in the water that have made Key West a world-famous tropical vacation destination.

Sunsets Key West Style

In line with the long history of sunset watching in Key West, Sebago Watersports regularly participates in the Mallory Square Sunset Celebration, a longstanding tradition that is now an integral part of everyday life for locals.

As a past meeting place for pirates, merchants, and revelers, Mallory Square now hosts nightly jugglers, musicians, artists, tourists, food vendors, and even psychics — all intent on raising sunset watching to an art form. Experience Key West’s breathtaking sunsets for yourself with Sebago Watersports’ sunset sail tours.

Special Sunset

You may still be asking yourself, the sun sets everywhere, what makes a Key West sunset so special? That question is answered by experiencing it for yourself. The best place to watch the sunset in Key West is on the deck of a Sebago ship, drink in hand. Sebago takes part in this nightly sunset tradition, sailing past Mallory Square where our guests wave to the crowd gathered on the docks and watch the jugglers, musicians and other performers. Then we head for open water and sail into the sunset. As the orange sun sinks lower, casting its reflection on the turquoise sea, Sebago’s experienced captains carefully maneuver their ship to provide their guests with a magnificent view of the sunset. No need to stand on tiptoe to catch a glimpse over the crowds!

Sebago offers a variety of sunset tours on catamarans, historic schooners and even combo dolphin watch tours. There is sure to be one tailored to your interests and schedule. Book a Sebago Key West Sunset Tour and join in the celebration!

Catamaran Cruises in Key West, FL

Escape the downtown crowd - cruise with billy.

Key West’s nautical history is all based on its proximity to the world’s 3rd largest living coral reef. From pirates and privateers to ship wreckers and fisherman the draw has always been the sanctuary provided by the Florida Great Barrier Reef.  Key West’s coral rock islands trace a contiguous pathway from the Atlantic Ocean & Gulf of Mexico intersect all the way to mainland Florida. To this day our primary industry, tourism, celebrates our unique natural ecosystem in the shadow of the reef. 

Whether you want to cruise a couple of hours, island-hop all day, or see our beautiful wildlife, Billy has you covered! Bring your reef-safe sunscreen, and we’ll take care of the rest!

Catamaran Champagne Sunset Sail

Restrictions

• Fun for the Whole Family
• Back Deck Seating and Covered Shade Area
• Best Views of the Sunset in Key West

Key West is home to some of the most spectacular sunsets in the world. Millions of visitors flock to the Florida Keys every year to take in the sights, the snorkeling, the watersport adventures, and kayaking in the backcountry during the day, but when evening comes, locals and tourists alike are outside awaiting the marvelous sunsets that end each Key West perfect day.

And of course there's no better way to end your day than on our favorite sunset tour, the Best on Key West Catamaran Champagne Sunset tour. Aboard the monumental 69-foot Marquesa, our largest catamaran, there's room for all of our passengers to recline and relax. Although the Marquesa can carry up to 125 passengers, we keep our tour limited well below that threshold for your comfort and to ensure you always have a remarkable view. Share a romantic evening lounging on the deck or relax with your family, reliving the day's activities, while sailing gently on the beautiful tropic waters.

Relaxing Atmosphere for the Whole Family

All of Best on Key West's sunset cruises provide a relaxing atmosphere to help you unwind while the warm tropical breezes glide over your body and rustle through your hair. But the Catamaran Champagne Sunset tour is the only tour that includes a cash bar so you can truly enjoy yourself with your favorite cocktail while spending time with friends, family or that special person in your life. We also provide a wide variety of complimentary drinks to our passengers on this luxury sunset cruise. Enjoy our bubbling champagne, wine, delicious margaritas, ice-cold premium beers and soft drinks.

Don't get stuck on land trying to squeeze onto the beach or crane your neck during a seaside dinner to watch the sunset -- hop aboard the Marquesa and let the captain position you for the best views Key West can offer. As we depart from the Historic Seaport, you'll be greeted with iconic views of the harbor so be sure to bring your camera. Watch the crowds being entertained at the nightly Sunset Celebration at Mallory Square Dock, and be on the lookout for the Navy Mole where cruise ships and Navy and Coast Guard vessels dock. The Marquesa is also the perfect boat for views of the silhouette of Fort Zachary Taylor against the orange-tinged sky. When the sun has expired, there's still lots to see while we return to the port. Bask in the moonlight as the stars appear, shining in the sea and glistening off your champagne glass.

To ensure you have the best sunset views, this tour's departure time changes seasonally. We depart from the Historic Seaport at 5 p.m. (winter); 6 p.m. (spring/fall); and 6:30 p.m. (summer), with boarding times beginning 30-minutes prior to the respective departure time. The Catamaran Champagne Sunset cruise is a family-friendly activity and there is no charge for children ages 5 and younger. A valid photo I.D. is required for passengers who take advantage of our complimentary alcoholic beverages and the cash bar.
