The BEST trip. Katie and Micah were so friendly, knowledgeable, attentive. Such a great crew. Did some incredible snorkeling, guided kayaking, sunset sail. Snacks, wine, beer. What more could you want?????!!!!! Can’t wait to come back
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.

The guide Anthony was so friendly, and had a passion for his job, the captain ( I think his name was Joe) was super nice as well.

Crew was nice. Was very disappointed in both the snorkel and the mangrove kayaking. Where they took us to snorkel was just out in the middle of nowhere and the water was super choppy and not that clear. There were hardly any fish or any pretty colors. No coral reefs at all. They just had us out there floating with no engagement from the crew. Everything was drab and dead looking. Saw a few fish, but honestly saw more fish and prettier ones at the dock where we were staying in Marathon. As far as the kayaking, I thought we were supposed to be weaving in the small spaces where there was more wildlife, but we made a circle around a little mangrove patch and didn’t see anything. Some birds above, and a jelly fish, but those were also at the same dock where we were staying. Nothing special. The brochure said the trip was until 8 pm, but we were docked and getting off the boat by 7:10, which was fine because we were over it by then. Just feel like it was a high price for nothing special and I wish I had booked with a different charter or spent that money on something we would have enjoyed so
Much more.

Our ship changed plans due to weather and we couldn’t make this charter. We requested a refund through Trip Advisor who informed us that Danger Charters denied our request. Danger also did not respond to my inquiries. Lousy customer service! If you’re on a cruise in Key West port, I wouldn’t recommend Danger Charters.

Staff were polite, helpful & had a great sense of humor. Rocky took our group & couldn't ask for a better tour guide. You could tell he loved the Keys & all the nature & history. He was a superb tour guide & answered all my questions. Rocky is top notch
