Itinerary
Guests will snorkel and kayak in the protected waters of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, exploring shallow seagrass beds, coral heads, and quiet mangrove islands. Our crew will lead you through calm, winding channels where you’ll learn about this unique backcountry ecosystem—home to rays, tropical fish, small sharks, sport fish, and the occasional sea turtle. Overhead, keep an eye out for birds like herons, egrets, ospreys, and pelicans that thrive in the mangroves. No kayaking experience? No problem. Our stable sea kayaks are easy to handle, and our crew will have you paddling like a pro in no time.
The trip begins with a sail through Key West Harbor, where you’ll get a front-row view of the island’s colorful past and present. From the water, you’ll see historic landmarks, working shrimp boats, luxury yachts, and the charming mix of old and new that defines the Key West waterfront. As we cruise along the coastline, our crew will share stories about the island’s rich history—from its days as a bustling port town to its reputation as a haven for artists, pirates, and presidents alike.

Traveler reviews
Great excursion with a phenomenal crew
Great excursion! Highly recommend! The captain and crew were super friendly and informative.
Awesome sailing experience
I booked this adventure and was not sure what to expect. But Anne and her crew Conner and Cowen were spectacular! They did an amazing job taking care of everyone. This was my 25th anniversary and my wife was so happy. We also kayaked and snorkeled in the ocean. The sunset was beautiful. I would highly recommend adding this cruise to your itinerary.
We celebrated our 25th anniversary with this amazing crew!
Anne and her awesome crew, Conner and Cohen. They were so kind and courteous. We had a blast kayaking and snorkeling. Well to be honest we floated by the boat and enjoyed the ocean. They went above and beyond to make everyone feel good. Anne was an excellent boat captain. I highly recommend this activity.
Afternoon Fun with Captain Anna and her Excellent Crew!
Absolutely incredible experience! We did the afternoon sail and had the best time! Anna was our captain, and she and the entire crew were outstanding. From the moment we stepped aboard until we returned to the dock, we were treated like royalty. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and genuinely made sure we had an amazing experience. The snorkeling was fantastic, and kayaking through the beautiful water was something we’ll never forget. The boat was great, the atmosphere was fun and relaxing, and everything was organized perfectly. If you’re looking for an unforgettable day on the water, this is the tour to book. We can’t recommend this company and crew highly enough!
Very good experience
Snorkeling in deeper water which can be very difficult everyone should be in relatively good shape before they take on this experience.
