My husband and I went on an afternoon snorkel and sunset sail with Captain Dan and First Mate Eric aboard the Conch West, leaving from the Perry Hotel Marina. Our experience was seamless from the start. We exchanged a few texts with Captain Chris to understand the different charter packages and available vessels. Once we settled on the monohaul snorkel/sunset sail, booking was a cinch. The team at Sunset Sail Key West sent prompt reminder messages with the location and we had no issues at all with the credit card booking.
All of this pales in comparison with the actual experience of being out in the water with Captain Dan and First Mate Eric. From the start we felt welcomed, as if we were just crashing on our friends boats for an afternoon out. The sailboat’s cooler was packed with water, sodas, and sparkling water. They also had a generous fruit platter, hummus and pita chips. We brought some beers which chilled there nicely while we were on our way out to the reef. The reef we sailed to was large, colorful… just breathtaking. We have snorkeled in other areas before and were just in awe with the size of the reef and the variety of wildlife. We had essentially the whole place to ourselves. The gear provided by Sunset Sail was in pristine conditions, and team was especially helpful in adjusting it to fit securely and comfortably.
The ride back into Key West was punctuated by the most perfect sunset. The team ensured we had the best views, sailing towards the sun until it fully nestled into the horizon, and only then steering back into the Perry Hotel Marina.
We’re grateful for the wonderful conversations, the lively music (catered to taste!), and the overall experience. Capitan Dan and First Mate Eric made our trip...
