Key West Sunset Champagne Cruise: Adults Only, Small Group

Sip champagne and taste four international cheeses while sailing into a Key West sunset without the Mallory Square crowds

A 2-hour adults-only sunset cruise on Key West's shallow waters for a maximum of 14 passengers on a 28-person catamaran. You sail into the legendary sunset, sip bottomless Domain Chandon Brut champagne alongside eight premium wines, beers and White Claws, and graze a gourmet cheese buffet with four international cheeses, local smoked fish dip, berries, crisps and fresh bread. A live English-speaking guide leads the experience. Minimum age is 21 and proof of ID is required. The 2-week cancellation policy allows a full refund if you need to reschedule.

The experience

How do you watch the Key West sunset without fighting the crowds at Mallory Square? You sail into it instead. This small-group cruise keeps the passenger count at 14 adults on a 28-person catamaran, which means you get space to move, room to breathe, and an actual view of the water and sky. The boat leaves the dock and heads into the shallow waters where the sunset hits hardest, and that's where you stay for the full two hours.

The champagne and wine flow throughout: bottomless Domain Chandon Brut is included, along with eight premium red and white still wines, domestic and imported beers, and White Claws. If you want to upgrade to Moët & Chandon Imperial or Rosé Imperial, both are available at wholesale price for onboard guests only. The gourmet cheese buffet is the anchor of the food: four international cheeses, a plump berry tray, local smoked fish dip, assorted crisps, and fresh-baked crusty bread. It's naturally gluten-free and designed to pair with the champagne you're drinking.

The boat has restrooms onboard, and the dress code is Key West casual. Nothing formal, nothing stiff. You'll need to sign a waiver before departure, and bring a photo ID to prove you're 21 or older. The 2-week cancellation policy means you can get a full refund if plans change, and local taxes are already built into the price.

Is this one for you?Two hours is short enough to fit into an evening without eating your whole day, which leaves time for dinner or drinks elsewhere in Key West afterward. The adults-only policy and small group size mean you're not managing kids or navigating a packed boat. Just sailing, sipping and eating cheese while the sun drops.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. No refund if you cancel.

What's the difference between this sunset cruise and watching from Mallory Square?

Mallory Square fills with huge crowds every evening, and you're standing on pavement fighting for a view. This cruise takes 14 adults out on the water where the sunset is unobstructed, and you're sipping champagne and eating cheese instead of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with tourists.

Is this a shared boat or private?

It's a shared public cruise, but the passenger count is capped at 14 adults on a 28-person catamaran, so it never feels crowded. No kids are allowed, which keeps the atmosphere adults-only.

What champagnes and wines are included?

Bottomless Domain Chandon Brut champagne is included in the price, along with eight premium red and white still wines, ice-cold beers, and White Claws. Moët & Chandon Imperial and Rosé Imperial are available for additional purchase at wholesale prices, but only for guests onboard.

What exactly is in the cheese buffet?

The gourmet cheese buffet includes four international cheeses, a plump berry tray, local smoked fish dip, assorted crisps, and fresh-baked crusty bread. It's naturally gluten-free and designed to pair with the champagne.

How long is the cruise and when does it happen?

The cruise lasts two hours and sails during the Key West sunset, which is when the sky turns the most dramatic colors. The exact departure time shifts with the sunset each night.

What if I need to cancel?

The vendor allows cancellations up to two weeks before your departure date for a full refund, so you have time to reschedule if plans change.
