This is the fourth time we have booked this tour. We love it! The ship is magnificent! The crew are helpful and friendly. There is something magical about being on an actual sailing ship. The sails, the waves, the views. The view of the sunset over the water is amazing! And then the canon! So fun! I highly recommend this trip!
The Experience was amazing! The crew was very friendly and informative. We made some wonderful memories.
Wonderful experience! The kids loved the boat, crew and the big cannon blast at the end. It was a smaller group of people and the staff were very friendly and informative. There was no loud music or drunkards, just a beautiful sunset and soft sounds of the boat’s sails. Very calming and beautiful experience!
The Jolly River crew were great and made sure everyone had a fun sunset cruise. The sunset was amazing and cruising around Key West gave you a different view than being at Mallory Square.
Amazing, down-to-earth crew, captain, and owner of the ship! Seems they really care about what they do: giving people an authentic sailing experience. What we loved most about this tour is it let nature speak for itself. We witnessed an unforgettable sunset, saw some dolphins, and shot a cannon. Not a party boat. Great for the whole family or a memorable moment with a loved one.
Crew members were very engaging. They got younger passengers to participate in the raising of sails and steering the boat. Assisting everyone as needed getting aboard without calling attention to the effort necessary due to passenger’s health or fitness level. Provided water and snacks. Made the entire experience very pleasant. Great trip for a quiet sunset for couples and family without the rowdiness of a booze cruise. No loud music or party atmosphere.
We took our sail on May 16th and as luck would have it, for us - we were the only passengers on this sunset cruise. A few other parties had to reschedule due to various reasons but they honored our reservation and our small family of 4 got to help set the sails and even steer the boat! It was both fun to get to do that and relaxing and so peaceful. If you want a party boat, then book a catamaran. If you want a serene experience look no further! We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience! Bill, and his crew Noah, Atrina(sp?) and Sean were fantastic! We were so happy to find this gem. 100% would return to sail with them again!
Beautiful experience with professional and knowledgeable crew.
Great and friendly crew. Made sure everyone had an enjoyable time and a beautiful view of the sun set. Highly recommend and is great for wildlife spotting. We saw dolphins, tarpon, and sea turtles on during our trip. The owner is also super nice and knowledgeable. Definitely give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.
Relaxing and beautiful sail with a spectacular sunset. Crew was attentive, informative, & professional.
