Key West Activities

Sunset is the most beautiful time of day in Key West, and there are several ways to celebrate the closing of another day in the Southernmost City.  Top of the list is a Key West sunset cruise.  Reserve a seat any day of the week, show up an hour or two before dusk at the dock, and let the crew whisk you across the harbor for the most romantic and colorful boat cruise you’ll ever enjoy. 

You see, the sunsets in Key West are made fabulous by the fact that Key West is the westernmost island in the Florida Keys, so the sun sets completely over water.  That means amazing colors, reflections, and a very distant horizon for a broad, pink sky at sunset.  And when you get on a Key West Sunset Cruise, to celebrate at dusk, it’s even better. That’s because you’ll be sailing smoothly over the water next to Key West, feeling the ocean breezes in your hair, feeling the gentle motion of the schooner as it cuts the surface of the water. It’s a total experience!

Not only that, but most Key West sunset cruises will serve beer and wine, so you will absolutely melt,for the most relaxing way to end the day in Key West. Everyone aboard is there to enjoy the sunset so everyone has a great time. It’s not surprising that a Key West sunset cruise is the favorite Key West activity of so many visitors! Even locals are known to book themselves spots on the occasional Key West sunset cruise. That’s because it’s never the same twice. It’s different every night. The colors range from hot pink, citrus orange, gold, powder pinks and blues. The types of clouds make every sunset different, too. From wispy feathery clouds to heavier darker formations, each cloud makes its mark on the sunset for that evening.
