Great atmosphere. Only about 20 people on board. Drinks and hors d'oeuvres were really good (especially the shrimp). Nothing over the top, just sailing and beautiful views. If you want an easy, restful, quiet sunset cruise, this is it. Crew were great, friendly, and competent. Highly recommend this compared to many of the party boats you see.
The evening sunset tour was absolutely the perfect end to our trip. The captain answered all of our questions about Key West and his Stew was friendly and hospitable. We loved that the group is limited 30 people since we did not want to be on a “party cruise” with music and large crowds. Our evening included sails up, the sound of the waves and great conversations. Absolutely will do this again when we return to the Keys!

It was the best experience for my husband and I. Captain Joe, and the first mate. Christine were wonderful. Very friendly, kept our glasses filled, and the food was great. I would recommend it to anybody and do it again. The cruising experience itself was hands-down the best we’ve done.
