A Tranquil Sail with Breathtaking Sunset Moments

We truly enjoyed our sunset sail. It was calm, quiet, and incredibly relaxing — exactly what we were hoping for. The crew was kind, polite, and made the experience feel welcoming from start to finish. While I personally wasn’t a fan of the comments about the captain’s adult personal life, everything else about the trip was wonderful. The views were breathtaking, and the atmosphere was perfect. We still had an amazing time and would happily recommend this experience.

Best Sunset Cruise!

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!

Wonderful peaceful experience

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!

Sunset Cruise in Key West

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.

This tour let nature shine!

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.

Enjoy the sunset without the rowdiness

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.
