Key West Dolphin Watch and Sunset Sail on Catamaran
Sail across open water, spot dolphins, then watch the sky change color from the boat.
A three-hour sailing tour on a 42-foot catamaran in Key West combines dolphin watching with a sunset viewing from the water. The boat carries organic snacks and filtered water; you're welcome to bring your own beverages. Children from age 2 are welcome, and the tour suits all fitness levels.
The Experience
The catamaran leaves with a live English-speaking guide and heads out to search for the resident Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins that live in Key West waters. The boat's design—lightweight and open—means unobstructed views in every direction as you sail, and the guide knows where to look. There's no guarantee you'll see dolphins on this particular trip, but the sailing itself is the draw: you're out on the water catching the wind, not watching from a dock or a crowded beach.
Once the dolphins are spotted (or the time comes to move on), the boat positions itself for the Key West sunset. This is the part most people come for—the sky shifts through colors, and you're watching it from the peaceful vantage point of the water instead of fighting for space on Mallory Square or a rooftop bar. Organic fruit and filtered water keep you refreshed throughout, and since it's BYOB, you can bring a drink to mark the moment.
The whole experience runs three hours. Service animals are allowed on board, and infants can come as long as they sit on an adult's lap. Public transportation options are available nearby if you're staying in town without a rental car.
What’s included
- Filtered water in reusable stainless steel bottles.
- fresh organic snacks from a local café.
- live English-speaking guide.
