Wonderful variety of water sports to do. Micah, Anthony, and Laura were very knowledgeable about the wildlife that was seen during our trip. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is up to being on the water!
This trip combines sailing, snorkeling, kayaking, and local insight in a laid-back, small-group setting. You'll sail on an authentic schooner into the calm, protected waters of the Key West National Wildlife Refuge—a remote area only accessible by boat. With group sizes limited to 20 guests, the experience feels personal, spacious, and relaxed! Our crew truly sets us apart. They’re knowledgeable, passionate, and always ready to share the history, wildlife, and ecology of the Keys in a fun, engaging way. Whether you're in the water or relaxing on deck, they’re there to guide, support, and make everyone feel welcome—regardless of experience level. Snacks, beer, wine, soda, and water are included onboard, adding to the comfort of your time at sea. If you join the afternoon trip, you'll also enjoy a beautiful sail back to Key West timed with the sunset, making the day even more memorable.

Stop At: Florida Keys National Marine SanctuaryFloridaGuests will snorkel and kayak in the protected waters of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, exploring shallow seagrass beds, coral heads, and quiet mangrove islands. Our crew will lead you through calm, winding channels where you’ll learn about this unique backcountry ecosystem—home to rays, tropical fish, small sharks, sport fish, and the occasional sea turtle. Overhead, keep an eye out for birds like herons, egrets, ospreys, and pelicans that thrive in the mangroves. No kayaking experience? No problem. Our stable sea kayaks are easy to handle, and our crew will have you paddling like a pro in no time.Duration: 2 hours and 30 minutesStop At: Key WestKey West, FloridaThe trip begins with a sail through Key West Harbor, where you’ll get a front-row view of the island’s colorful past and present.

anthony was a great deckhand . the way they handle the kayaks is a bit unwieldy. you have to wait while they load and unload. and with 20 ppl on board we were pushed around in small quarters. smaller groups would be easier on the boat. Laura doesn’t give the. best service. Did her entire education about the snorkel group where half of us could not here.

This was a fantastic family adventure! You are able to do a couple activities while taking in the beauty of Key West and learning so much about the history and ecology at the same time. The guides and Captain were fun and professional. Highly recommend this tour!

The crew were excellent. They were very knowledgable and did a great job helping the guests get the best experience. The provided snacks and beverages were great. The sunset cruise was amazing. My only wish was that there was more time to kayak.

Our family had a great trip with Danger Charters. Captain, Brooke & Lexi were great from the beginning, being professional, fun, and accommodating. The time spread across the activities was perfect. The kayaking was a fun experience getting to see wildlife and learning some history of the area. The drinks and snacks were the right amount. And of course, nothing beats a Key West sunset. Thank you!
