Activities

Many visitors agree that the most beautiful way to observe our famous sunset is from the water, enjoying some Key West sailing down to the Southernmost Point, and toasting the end of another magical day. You may choose from a sleek modern catamaran, an historic tall sail schooner, a glassbottom boat, or your very own privately chartered boat. Whichever fits your mood or budget, they generally will all provide unlimited beer, wine, sodas and, of course, champagne for the duration of the two hour trips.

Historic Schooners & Tall Ships - Hoist the sails if you like aboard the grand dames of Key West's sailing fleet.
Modern Catamarans - Large capacity, constantly flowing drinks, and cheap prices make for a tropical party atmosphere.
Wind & Wine - Upscale wines and beers, nice snacks, and small crowds aboard a neat 65' sailboat.
Private sunset sails - Aboard terrific sailing yachts - the kind of sunset sailing you've only dreamed about.
Dinner Cruises - enjoy the famous Key West sunset and a delicious meal.
Glassbottom Boat - A great view above and below deck.
Ultimate Water Sports Sunset - Aboard a 65' sailing catamaran, venture to the Gulf and enjoy parasailing, kayaks, snorkeling, jet skis, big water toys, and finally - the sunset.

The Florida Keys Back Country is one of the premier wildlife preserves in North America. The uninhabited islands of the Florida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico are a haven for wildlife including nesting sea turtles, bald eagles and many different types of aquatic birds. Eco-tours show guests the fascinating environment of the Keys. Expect to see stingrays, small sharks, crustaceans and several varieties of fish.

Glassbottom Boat Tours - Key West glass bottom boat trips show you the reef through glass windows. If you want to see the fish from above and below the water, a glass bottom boat trip that includes snorkeling is also available.

Dolphin Encounters - Schools of wild dolphins inhabit the waters surrounding Key West, and several small companies are willing to take you out in search of these creatures in their natural habitat. Enjoy an unforgettable meeting with dolphins, then your guide will take you to some wonderful backcountry snorkeling spots. Light snacks and beverages, as well as all your gear, are included in these trips, which are priced at around $85 per person.

Kayaking tours - The barrier reef of the Keys causes the water near the islands to stay calm and clear, so paddlers can enjoy a relaxing pace as they explore and take in the beauty of the environment. Guided tours are transported to the backcountry aboard a comfortable skiff for a morning or afternoon eco-tour in a group of no more than five people.
