Stop At: Key WestKey West, Florida1. Mallory Square / Sunset Pier. We launch from the famous sunset gathering place, with fire dancers, psychics, and street performers—as we set the stage for a mystical evening. Tales of Robert the Doll, Key West’s most infamous cursed artifact. Robert “lived” just a short walk away and is said to still influence those who mock him. The crowded square hides many secrets: old buildings housed wreckers, smugglers, and even undertakers who watched bodies washed ashore after storms. Duration: 20 minutesStop At: Key WestKey West, Florida2. Wreckers' Cut / Northwest Passage. We sail through the channel where wreckers once guided—or lured—ships onto reefs. Welcome to the Wrecking Era (1820s–40s), when fortunes were made salvaging shipwrecks… and rumors spread of captains who hung lanterns to deliberately lure ships to their doom. The ghost lore is true. Here sailors report phantom lights bobbing on dark nights—clearly the the souls of drowned crews.Duration: 15 minutesStop At: Key WestKey West, Florida3. Sand Key Lighthouse. One of the eeriest offshore stops in the Keys—an isolated iron skeleton lighthouse. Time for a pause under the stars - hold tight. Built after countless wrecks, the souls of lost sailors resent its presence. Keepers report ghostly knocks on the tower, unexplained footsteps, and phantom ships passing silently in the night. A keeper and his family vanished in the 19th century while at the lighthouse—locals knew the family was “taken by the sea.” Duration: 20 minutesStop At: Key WestKey West, Florida4. Fort Zachary Taylor. Experience the dark, hulking Civil War–era fort—spooky silhouette at night. The fort was used during the Civil War and Spanish-American War. Nightly ghostly soldiers in uniform have are spotted along the walls and moats. This is home to the souls of the Yellow Fever outbreaks that swept Key West in the 1800s, claiming soldiers and civilians alike—many quarantined and buried hastily near the fort.Duration: 15 minutesStop At: Key WestKey West, Florida5. East Martello Tower. As we drift by the tower we spotlight the haunted home of Robert the Doll before his move to Fort East Martello museum. Robert the Doll still leaves his curse on those who take their picture with him.
