Key West Schooners
& Sailing, Sailboats, and Sails.
Sailing the waters of Key West aboard a tall ship is an adventure most
want to repeat. Majestic and towering, these vessels remind admirers of
Key West's rich maritime history. You can relax aboard one of the island's
historic schooners, each spacious and impressive. With tall wooden masts
securing their billowing sails in the breeze, the ships leisurely meander
the calm waters as the sun sets. The boats are very stable and offer drinks
for the duration of the sail. The crews are happy to oblige guests who
want to help hoist the sails.
Here are our favorites:
 The Schooner Halie & Matthew, the newest addition to the fleet of schooners in Key West, is an impressive 118-foot gaff rigged schooner. This vessel is the genuine article under sail - with wide decks and traditional woodwork.
Sunset sail schedule: Available year round. 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm daily. $55 per person. Includes beer, wine, soft
drinks, water, & ice. Guests are welcome to bring aboard their own beverages and snacks.
