Catamaran Cruises in Key West, FL

Escape the downtown crowd - cruise with billy.

Key West’s nautical history is all based on its proximity to the world’s 3rd largest living coral reef. From pirates and privateers to ship wreckers and fisherman the draw has always been the sanctuary provided by the Florida Great Barrier Reef.  Key West’s coral rock islands trace a contiguous pathway from the Atlantic Ocean & Gulf of Mexico intersect all the way to mainland Florida. To this day our primary industry, tourism, celebrates our unique natural ecosystem in the shadow of the reef. 

Whether you want to cruise a couple of hours, island-hop all day, or see our beautiful wildlife, Billy has you covered! Bring your reef-safe sunscreen, and we’ll take care of the rest!

There are many places to watch the sunset in Key West such as Mallory Square, the classic spot to watch the Key West sunset, Fort Zachary Taylor State Park, or Sunset Pier. For a truly unique experience, consider a Key West sunset cruise! We offer several sunset cruise options on our state-of-the-art catamarans. You can enjoy the vibrant colors of the Key West sunset while sipping complimentary drinks and enjoying delicious appetizers. Some of our cruises even feature live music from local talents, making it an unforgettable experience.

Key West sunsets are renowned for their vibrant colors. The island’s location at the southernmost tip of the continental US allows for unobstructed views of the sun sinking into the horizon, painting the sky with fiery oranges, deep pinks, and purples. This nightly spectacle, coupled with the relaxed island atmosphere, draws visitors and locals alike to celebrate the beauty of a day’s end in Key West.

The green flash, sometimes spotted in Key West sunsets, is a fleeting emerald shimmer that appears just as the sun dips below the horizon. This rare phenomenon occurs due to the way sunlight bends in Earth’s atmosphere, briefly separating the sun’s colors and allowing a glimpse of green.

Seeing wildlife on a Key West sunset cruise is possible, but not guaranteed. Dolphins are frequent visitors, and you might spot sea turtles, manta rays, or even sharks depending on the day. Keep your eyes peeled and listen for splashes – the sunset might come with an unexpected animal encounter!

At maximum capacity, the trip will hold a total of 125 guests and the average number of guests may vary depending on the time of the year. There are a total of 3 decks to spread out for the duration of the trip including a shade deck, an upper deck, and the sun deck that can also double for your dance floor!

Absolutely! Restrooms are a feature of our catamarans. You can expect to find marine bathroom facilities onboard for your comfort.

This two-hour Key West sunset cruise features these complimentary hors d’oeuvres:

Your ticket includes a selection of refreshing drinks to enjoy the sunset cruise. Sip on unlimited sodas, water, margaritas, and draft beers like Cat 5 Key Lime Lager, and Michelob ULTRA, or choose from Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, and Cabernet Sauvignon wines. You can even toast to the amazing Key West sunset with a glass of champagne!

The Sunset Cruise features live music from the island’s best singers and songwriters, creating a relaxing and authentic Key West atmosphere as you sail into the sunset.

Our Key West sunset cruises depart from and return to the historic seaport, conveniently located at the corner of Greene St. and Elizabeth St., right next to The Conch Republic Seafood Company.

One of the most popular destinations on the island of Key West is Duval Street. Visit the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum where you can take in some history about the writer and meet a legendary six toed cat. If you feel like taking in some nature, visit the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory where there are 50 - 60 different species of live butterflies from around the world. On Duval Street, you can simply take a stroll and hear live music, see art galleries, enjoy coffee shops and great restaurants, or find unique souvenirs at one of the many boutiques.

Romantic Sunsets

Beautiful sunsets are what Key West is all about. Enjoy the soothing ocean breeze, a glass of wine, and relax to the backdrop of the setting sun on your own private catamaran cruise. Watching the sunset has become an integral part of everyday life in paradise. This is one tradition you don’t want to miss!

Crystal Clear Snorkeling

Key West offers many beaches and reefs where you can experience snorkeling in warm crystal-clear water. At Cottrell Key, see the unique sponge garden and large coral reefs. It is also an excellent place to see dolphins, sharks, stingrays, and Goliath groupers. Fort Zachary Taylor is considered one of the best offshore snorkeling spots in Key West where there are a variety of tropical fish species and living coral to see. A favorite among snorkeling enthusiasts is Sand Key Lighthouse Reef. With a remote location and strict no-take policy, the Sand Key Lighthouse Reef is one of the healthiest coral gardens in Florida.

Pristine Sandy Beaches

Craving a drink in your hand and your toes in the sand? Check out the turquoise waters at Smathers Beach. Rental shops are available with beach chairs, shade umbrellas, kayaks, jet skis and much more. Try South Beach for calm, shallow waters that are excellent for swimming and great for families. Higgs Beach is unique for its historical significance. Take a wander around, and you'll find monuments dedicated to the 19th-century slave cemetery located on the site. There is also a pier at Higgs Beach, where visitors can often spot stingrays and other marine species.

SIP & SAIL REVIEWS

This was a great sunset cruise experience. The boat was clean and accommodating. The view of the Key West sunset was spectacular. The drinks were delicious and plentiful. I would highly recommend this trip!

Great time, well worth it. Crew were knowledgeable and helpful. My daughters (both in their 20’s) thoroughly enjoyed. The sunset sail gives great views of the island from the ocean. Highly recommend this sunset cruise!

Our family had an amazing time on the sunset sip & sail and would definitely recommend Sunset Watersports to others. All staff were fun, informative, and my daughters had a great time. Overall, an amazing company to choose for some fun on the water!

It was so much fun!! Highly recommend doing this with your friends and family. We had a blast. Honestly well worth it. Jake even took photos for us and sent them to each group!

Our Locations & Packages

At Kathleen D Sailing Catamarans, we offer an unparalleled sailing experience across three beautiful locations: Sarasota, Longboat Key, and Anna Maria Island. Each location provides unique opportunities for public excursions and private charters.

The Maine Cat 30 is a US built catamaran, built in Maine. They are equipped with 2 Yamaha Outboards each and will cruise at about 6 mph with the engines.

Each catamaran has 3 sails. a Mainsail, a Jib and a Screecher. Depending on wind speed, the Maine Cat will sail up to 10 mph.

The Maine Cat has a spacious cockpit with comfortable seating for 11 plus the captain. There is also room for a cooler. There is a spacious Galley on the Port side hull which has a refrigerator normally stocked with bottled water and space to add your drink of choice.

The galley’s are also stocked with a cutting board, eating utensils and usually plastic cups. The Starboard side hull is where we store swimming gear, pool noodles, masks, snorkels and fins. It also has a marine head. There are also working sinks on both sides.

The Maine Cat 30 also has a spacious seating area on the bow of each hull with nets stretched between the hulls. There is also a pulpit seat on the front of each hull.

We also have kayaks on board for the longer sails, there is time to stop and explore some Mangrove Tunnels or canals along the way.

Our second Maine Cat 30 is again a US built catamaran, built in Maine. They are equipped with 2 Yamaha Outboards each and will cruise at about 6 mph with the engines.

The Stiletto 30

It is also a US built catamaran built here in Sarasota Florida. 30 feet long and 16 ft wide. It has one Yamaha outboard engine and cruises at 6 mph. The stiletto has tiller steering.

The Stiletto has 3 sails. The Mainsail, Jib and a Spinnaker. We normally will only fly the spinnaker with an experienced crew on board. Depending on wind speed, the Stiletto will sail up to 20 mph. The manufacturer will boast it is capable of more and I would not argue the point. The Stiletto is quite fast and agile.

The cockpit has comfortable seating for 6 plus a captain. Each hull is primarily used for storage of the cooler, swimming gear, pool noodles, masks, snorkels, fins, life jackets and kayak paddles. It also has a marine head.

The Stiletto 30 also has a spacious trampoline stretched between the 2 hulls in the front and another aft the cockpit where we typically store 2 kayaks.

Some returning customers will request the Stiletto as it is a very memorable experience.

Experience Key West’s breathtaking sunsets for yourself with Sebago Watersports’ sunset sail tours.

Special Sunset

You may still be asking yourself, the sun sets everywhere, what makes a Key West sunset so special? That question is answered by experiencing it for yourself. The best place to watch the sunset in Key West is on the deck of a Sebago ship, drink in hand. Sebago takes part in this nightly sunset tradition, sailing past Mallory Square where our guests wave to the crowd gathered on the docks and watch the jugglers, musicians and other performers. Then we head for open water and sail into the sunset. As the orange sun sinks lower, casting its reflection on the turquoise sea, Sebago’s experienced captains carefully maneuver their ship to provide their guests with a magnificent view of the sunset. No need to stand on tiptoe to catch a glimpse over the crowds!

Sebago offers a variety of sunset tours on catamarans, historic schooners and even combo dolphin watch tours. There is sure to be one tailored to your interests and schedule. Book a Sebago Key West Sunset Tour and join in the celebration!

Explore & Sail The Florida Keys

The Dry Tortugas , a US National Park made mostly of open water and 6 small islands, is 70 miles west of Key West. This destination features pristine water, coral reefs, and the historical Fort Jefferson.

A barrier reef runs 221 miles along Florida’s southeast coast from Key Biscayne to the Dry Tortugas. It is the only living coral barrier reef in the continental U.S. and is the third largest coral barrier reef system in the world. The reef is protected as an underwater state park known as the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park , the first underwater sea park of its kind.

Stephen and I along with many friends have cruised the Keys many times as well as driven from Miami to Key West on several occasions. We discover a new gem each time we venture into the Florida Keys. The Florida Rambler  is a great guide of all the places of interest in the Florida Keys, mile marker to mile marker, all across the Overseas Highway ! Be prepared to see unusual sights like Perky’s Bat Tower on Sugarloaf Key,  Jules’ Undersea Lodge in Key Largo, and the Seven Mile Bridge .

On our most recent sailing cruise down the Florida Keys to Key West, we were positioning to sail to Cuba as a part of a rally to build relations between the sailing communities in the States and Cuba. Here are a few highlights from our most recent sail down the Keys:

Biscayne Bay & No Name Harbor

Biscayne Bay is a beautiful and protected sailing area with several anchorages like Elliott Key Marina or Dinner Key . Marinas include Bay Side Marina (downtown Miami) or Miami Beach Marina . There is a lot to explore in Biscayne Bay National Park  including the Cape Florida Lighthouse at the mouth of Biscayne Bay. It was first lit in 1825 and reconstructed in 1846. It is at the end of Key Biscayne in the Cape Florida State Park . A visit to the lighthouse, the nature trails, and the beach is a treat.

Biscayne Bay is also the site of Stiltsville, the famous pastel-colored houses on stilts.  Stiltsville is somewhat mysterious  with a history that dates back to the 1930s, when “Crawfish Eddie Walker” built the first shack on stilts above the water. Stories of illegal alcohol and gambling abounded during its heyday as it was the playground for the cream of Miami society. Today, only seven of the houses remain after hurricanes, fires, and neglect saw many of the houses demolished.

Miami Beach and Coconut Grove are just a stone’s throw away. Exploring Miami Beach is high-octane fun, especially the famous Ocean Drive where you can rub shoulders with the rich and famous and a tour of the  art deco buildings  is a must!. Also close by is Little Havana, the vibrant and colorful center of Hispanic culture in Miami and the best-known neighborhood for Cuban exiles in the world. Its festivals, including the Calle Ocho Festival and Viernes Culturales  (Cultural Fridays) are world famous.

Coconut Grove is a tropical oasis with a distinct Bohemian flair. Founded in 1873 by an eclectic mix of pioneers, artists, intellectuals and adventurers, it thrives to this day with charming boutiques, sidewalk cafes, and a large, very active sailing community.

No Name Harbor is a stopover for many cruisers before sailing to the Bahamas or the Caribbean.

More on Stiltsville and Diving the USS Spiegel Grove

Hawk’s channel and the middle keys.

Hawks Channel provides fantastic sailing. The barrier reef provides great protection from the ocean swells, but you still catch the breeze for some spectacular sailing. Bahia Honda, one of the best anchorages in the Florida Keys, is another one of our favorite anchorages. You can drop your hook near the historic Old Keys Trestle Railroad Bridge and enjoy the calm natural harbor at Bahia Honda State Park .

Explore The Quaint Village Of Key West

Key West is rich with history, is quaint and beautiful and known for wild parties. It’s a gathering place for all kinds of humanity, some bordering on the bizarre! A stroll up and down Duval Street, Key West’s popular main party drag, boasts many art galleries, shops, bars, and restaurants and is prime people-watching territory.

Every day, two hours before the sunset, the daily Sunset Celebration on Mallory Square gets going as buskers, street performers, and craft vendors set up for crowds of people. The sunset over the ocean is breathtakingly beautiful and one of Key West’s most photographed sites. Everybody tries to catch a glimpse of the green flash from Mallory Square everyday. Check out the Mallory Square Webcam .

Marquesas Islands, A Tranquil Lagoon

The calm waters and nice sandy beaches provide wonderful swimming, diving, and snorkeling. The area is alive with sea life, including giant turtles, sharks, rays, and birds. Fishing is fantastic here! You literally throw the hook in and you immediately feel the nibbles on the bait. Fresh fish for dinner! So exciting! We managed to anchor about a 100 yards off the beautiful white beaches in about 10 ft of water, making it an easy swim to shore. It is also the site of spectacular sunsets. We managed to catch the green flash here on a clear evening!

Explore a 19th Century Fort On The Dry Tortugas

The Dry Tortugas is a cluster of seven islands, about 70 NM west from Key West in the Gulf of Mexico. It is a long day sail from Key West or you can also leave from from Marquesas Keys, about a 40 NM sail. It can only be reached by seaplane or by boat and is the most isolated and least-visited national park in the U.S. There is no fresh water on the island, hence being called the “Dry” Tortugas. The islands have a fascinating history with gorgeous scenery and the coral reefs surrounding the islands are teeming with colorful fish.

We anchored out in crystal clear water and went ashore on Garden Key for a tour of Fort Jefferson National Monument . Originally built in the mid 1800’s as a military fort to be used by Union forces during the Civil War, the fort was converted to a prison. Its msot famous inmate was Dr. Mudd notorious for his involvement in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The other islands worth a visit are Loggerhead Key, Hospital Key, and Bush Key.

We had a super time exploring the Florida Keys and we highly recommend this cruising ground to cruisers.
