    Sailing

    It's time to hit the pristine waters of Key West. Our shallow-draft schooners can reach places other boats can’t—and that’s exactly where we’ll take you. As we sail through the stunning waters of Key West, kick back or sunbathe under our canopy and enjoy the views. The beauty of the Florida Keys will surround you, and you might even spot a dolphin or two along the way!

    Key West National Wildlife Refuge

    The Key West National Wildlife Refuge – known to locals as the Backcountry – was among the first refuges established in North America and, sadly, is the last remaining example of an untouched marine ecosystem in Florida. Accessible only by boat, we carefully treat the vital Backcountry with the utmost respect and take great pride in educating our guests about the area. Our schooners can navigate through shallow water flats and sandbars, winding channels, and mangrove islands, providing you with world-class experiences without causing distress to the ecosystem.

Later, put on your mask and snorkel to explore the amazing underwater world of beautiful corals, lush sponge gardens, colorful tropical fish, and incredible marine life of all varieties.
