- Experience of a Lifetime
My husband and I were driving from Miami to Key West for a long weekend. We found the sunset sail on the chamber of commerce web site and bought tickets for the Saturday evening sail. We absolutely loved this incredible experience!!!!! The captain, crew and support staff were awesome! The sailboat was clean and comfortable and they provided liquid refreshments. This was the highlight of our trip and we will definitely do this again!

- A fun and romantic afternoon
The boat ride was very relaxing, and the staff is courteous and generous with drinks. When it got a little chilly out, they were quick to bring us blankets. The sunset was gorgeous. We had a great time.

- FANTASTIC!!
I did three sails with the Adironduck this fall, 2 in NYC (Sunset and Fall Foliage) and 1 Sunset trip in Key West. All the 3 of them were fantastic and I highly recommend them. The schooner is nice, the crew, I went with Andrew and his guys, is great and they provide a relaxed atmosphere far away from all the normal tourist staff! So, go for it, you will never forget these tours! Thank you very much!
