Guests partying in Key West aboard Fury's Commotion on the Ocean sunset cruise with strobe lights and the ocean behind them.

“ Commotion on the Ocean was a wonderful experience. The crew was absolutely fantastic! There was no need to worry about your cup ever being empty. The team was there before you could empty it to fill it back up. The ride was smooth, band was fantastic and the sunset was beautiful.”

This is a 10 out of 10!! It was an awesome day, professional, friendly staff all the way around! Thanks for a great day in Key West!

“ The crew, drinks and appetizers along with the live music made for a wonderful evening. Would definitely recommend Fury and Commotion on the Ocean to everyone!”

“ Commotion on the ocean was a great time. Fun music, excellent service, and beautiful views. Highly recommend!”

“ The Commotion On the Ocean was absolutely beautiful! Great music, dancing, tasty snacks, magnificent margaritas and an awesome catamaran! The sail ship was so much fun that we want to repeat it again once we return to Key West!”

“ This was our first Commotion on the Ocean and will most definitely become a must do every visit to Key West. EVERY staff person was over the top in customer service. Always smiling, taking care of any needs and best of all making sure your drink was always topped off.

Great job Fury, I’ve ahead recommended you and will continue to do so!”

Watching the sunset from shore is beautiful but a Fury Sunset Sail is a very unique way to watch the sunset while being on the water, listening to live music, hot and cold appetizers and unlimited drinks.

The live band is dependent by the day. The music is an eclectic mix of songs and styles. It is a wide range of popular cover songs. There is something for everyone to enjoy!

The exact location and route of your sail is dependent upon the wind and marine conditions. Your captain will choose the route that allows for the best view of the sunset. You will most likely sail by Mallory Square, Sunset Key and the Key West Harbor.

All of Fury’s sunset sail trips are family friendly. The Commotion on the Ocean has a very lively atmosphere. If you would like a more low key excursion, we suggest the Champagne Sunset Cruise or the Glass Bottom Boat Sunset Cruise .

There are three multiple viewing decks on the sailing catamaran.

A Key West sunset cruise is a vacation must-do that adds an unforgettable experience to any Key West visit. Choose a graceful sailing schooner, a sleek modern catamaran, or a roomy dinner cruise liner with live music and all the trimmings – this curated selection of the best Key West sunset cruises offers good times set against one of nature’s grandest spectacles.

Depart the harbor in the late afternoon to enjoy an evening on the water, or combine dolphin watching, snorkeling, or a glass-bottom boat tour with sunset and the perfect end to another day in paradise. Key West sunsets are famous for highlighting nature’s grandeur as the sun sinks below the broad ocean horizon and brings on dramatic color changes of a range and intensity not seen on land. The unobstructed fetch of the light, atmospheric moisture, and other refractory factors combine to produce awe-inspiring natural beauty.

Add a chilled beverage and a loved one to share the occasion and the result is sublime. Click on a selection below to learn more about the most popular Key West Sunset Cruises.

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers provided below are based on answers previously given to customers' questions.

Q: What type of boats are used for Key West Sunset Cruises?

A: The diversity of available sunset cruise vessels is one of the things that make Key West Sunset Cruises so special. Guests who enjoy sailing can choose a 65-foot skipjack schooner with authentic lines that replicate the sailboats used by 19th century Florida Keys fishermen and wreckers. Or a modern sailing catamaran with the stability, speed, and generous deck space these craft are known for. Power catamarans are fast and smooth, perfect watersports or dolphin-watching platforms. And of course, enjoying a buffet dinner and cocktails aboard a 65-foot custom party catamaran should be on everyone’s bucket list. For a wedding, anniversary, or other special occasion, try a private charter to have a sail or power yacht all to yourself.

All the boats used for these popular Key West Sunset Cruises are top-of-the-line designs built for safety, comfort, and fun on the waters around Key West. The United States Coast Guard regularly inspects every Key West Sunset Cruise boat, and all required safety equipment is aboard and properly updated at all times. This is luxury sunset cruising at its best, with expert local captains and crew members, high-tech navigation gear, and the latest in quiet, efficient, low-emission engines. Plus, there are those added touches to enjoy like room for cocktail and wine service, deck space for top local musicians to perform, and even a bit of space to dance on some cruises.

Q: What makes a Key West Sunset Cruise so special?

A: Something about sunset in a tropical island location inspires people to a greater appreciation for what is normally a simple daily event. The famous and elusive Waikiki sunset “green flash” draws hundreds of camera-toting tourists to the Kalakaua Avenue beach walk each evening. Maui has Mt. Haleakala, the “House of the Sun” with sunsets worth an hour drive up the mountain. Beach bar decks in Phuket Thailand get packed as early evening comes on. And sunset in Key West is definitely a big deal whether seen from land or water.

Mallory Square and the nearby anchorage waters have been a hub of activity in Key West for over two hundred years, and when hippies arrived in town during the late 1960’s, they discovered that Mallory Pier offered a perfect wide-open view to the west. The custom of celebrating the amazingly colorful ocean sunsets took hold, and now Mallory Square and the Key West sunsets are both world famous.

Visitors have been boarding boat tours out of the harbor near today’s Mallory Square since the mid-19th century. With quiet, unobstructed on-deck views, the blazing orange, red, and purple clouds along the horizon and the awesome disc of the sun visible as it slides out of sight captured attention very early on. Now, modern vessels are able to provide visitors with a nice range of specialized sunset-watching cruises to suit any taste, and the best way to find out why Key West Sunset Cruises are so special is to come aboard and try one (or more).

Q: Which Key West Sunset Cruise is best for me?

A: The only easy choice among the many popular Key West Sunset Cruises is deciding to go on one. After that, the variety of attractive options may easily lead a visitor to decide that the only solution is to enjoy more than one sunset on the water! But if a choice of just one (or two) must be made, the best strategy is to consider what you like best and who is joining you for what could easily be the highlight of any Key West visit.

Naturally, the idea of gliding smoothly over turquoise water under sail while toasting a perfect day with a cold beer, glass of wine, or cocktail is very tempting. A Sunset Sip & Sail or Premium Sunset Sail with Hors D’oeuvres and Full Bar will provide a perfect happy hour start for a couple planning an evening on the town.

For an active family, or anyone who enjoys the water, taking an afternoon snorkeling trip that winds down with a beautiful sunset (and beverages) offers the best of both worlds. A Key West Sunset Snorkel Sail is just the ticket. Nature lovers should try a Glass-Bottom Boat Tour Sunset Combo or take the Dolphin Watch Sunset Snorkel Cruise.

Looking to party with some reggae or just enjoy live music and a cocktail hour at sunset? Take a look at Rum n’ Reggae or the Sunset Party Cruise. The award-winning Key West Wind & Wine Sunset Sail is notable for its pairing of fine wines and craft beers with gourmet appetizers. Special occasions (and every Key West sunset is special) call for a Sunset Champagne Cruise or Dinner Cruise. And for the ultimate in luxury, gather family and friends or just one significant other on a 65-foot schooner and sail away on a Key West Wind & Wine Private Charter.

Q: What kind of wine is served on the Key West Wind & Wine Sunset Sail?

A: Looking for a sunset cruise with a focus on fine wine to go with the fine view? The Key West Wind & Wine Sunset Sail is a legend with locals and visitors alike. This elegant and awesome sunset cruise has pulled down top ratings on Trip Advisor for several consecutive years in addition to earning a Top Sunset Cruise designation (one of the top 2 in North America) from Coastal Living Magazine. The Wind & Wine is a cruise that stands above the rest because it is one of very few sailing excursions in the United States that offers a selection of “real” fine wines from America and around the world.

A small group will gather on deck beneath the billowing sails to enjoy an intimate atmosphere, tropical music, and the incredible Key West sunset along with 8 different wines from around the world and 5 types of domestic and imported beer. There are usually 4 red and 3 white wines plus a champagnoise open for the tasting. The charcuterie and cheese board goes far beyond simple sailors’ rations to deliver the perfect wine pairings with Dill Havarti, Smoked Gouda, fresh Mozzarella, and Brie cheeses. Caprese skewers, summer sausage, honey-drizzled green apple slices, fruit, water crackers and more make for the ultimate water-borne wine tasting session.

Q: Skipjack schooner or catamaran – which one is best for a sunset cruise?

A: Sailing schooners and sailing or powered catamarans are the two most popular Key West sunset cruise vessels. In fact, these are the most commonly used craft for all types of Key West water tours from Backcountry snorkeling and kayak tours to glass-bottom boat rides. The reason for this is simple – skipjack-style schooners and catamarans are both shallow-draft boats that are well-suited to navigating the sandbar- and reef-filled waters around Key West.

Skipjack schooners were originally designed for harvesting oysters in shallow Chesapeake Bay. Adopted for use by 19th-century Florida Keys wreckers, sailors who would race out to salvage cargo from ill-fated ships caught on the reefs around the Keys, skipjacks became very common in local waters as general working and fishing boats. Modern catamarans are adaptations of ancient Polynesian boat designs used by sea-going peoples who lived on tropical islands ringed by shallow coral reefs and lagoons. The ability to skim through the shallows and land directly on the beach was critical. Known for their stability and versatility, today’s catamarans are the fastest and shallowest-running boats on the water.

Both types of vessel provide a safe, comfortable ride and can take guests to the best places to sightsee and play in Key West waters. Do you enjoy a touch of history and the romance of a tall ship under sail? Then a schooner would be a good choice. These classic ships have been sailing out of Key West for over 200 years, and guests who come aboard a Key West schooner today are in for an award-winning luxury sunset cruise.

Catamarans also move very gracefully under sail, but a key difference is that the cat’s deck remains level at all times because the vessel does not heel (lean over under the wind power) like a single-hull sailboat. A catamaran can also offer more wide-open deck space between the two hulls. This allows for seating at tables, live music and dancing, and ease of movement around deck for enjoying the view and taking pictures. The broad, flat deck also makes the catamaran a great play boat for an afternoon of watersports and sunbathing.

Schooners and catamarans are both a lot of fun on the water, so the choice between them is mainly about a guest’s personal preference. Planned activities for the sailing trip as well as any physical limitations and the need for ease of movement should also be considered. Of course, many Key West visitors end up going out on both types of vessel to enjoy not only beautiful sunset cruises but the many other opportunities for fun on and in the water that have made Key West a world-famous tropical vacation destination.

Key West Sailing Charters

What makes us different.

Locally owned and operated for more than 30 years, Danger Charters is all about the Key West sailing experience – wind in the sails, sun on our face, the sound of the waves lapping against the hull.

We treat you to the Key West that’s inspired countless paintings and poetry, and show you why locals choose Danger Charters too. Kick back, relax, and be one with the wind and waves … we’ll take care of the rest.

I can’t get over how personal this experience was!!! The group was small which made the experience that much better. Myself, my sister, and my two daughters had the best time! Everyone was so kind and personable! Thank you for a wonderful time! Danger Charters is definitely a must if you are looking for a sail, snorkel, kayak experience for the first time!

Carlota Castillo — Google

We did a full day sail and snorkel trip with about 27 of us and it was perfect! The crew Bryan, Logan, and Alex were informative, attentive, down to Earth, and make a mean pasta salad! They even provided the snorkeling gear and tips on where to look at the reef! Hands down the best trip during Key West! Will definitely book again in the future! Thanks guys!

5 Fun Things To Do in Key West This Weekend

W ill you be in Key West, Florida, this weekend? I was there last weekend and had the most amazing time. The weather has been fantastic!

We absolutely love Key West, and there are so many fun things to do in the area. While many people immediately think about the renown bar scene and nightlife, which is undoubtably fun, there are a variety of other activities to enjoy before heading to Sloppy Joes.

Today, I am going to share 5 fun things to do on your weekend visit to Key West, Florida!

#1 Ride The Conch Train

I highly recommend the iconic  Key West Conch Train , especially for first time visitors to Key West! It is an easy-to-manage 75-minute tour showing Key West’s highlights, including the  Truman Little White House , Key West Lighthouse, Southernmost Point, Shipwreck Museum, and more.

You can read more about the Key West's Conch Train here .

#2 Take a Sunset Cruise

Key West is known for its incredible sunsets off the island’s northwest side! You can easily catch the sunset from Mallory Square Sunset Celebration or nearby bars and restaurants. But you’ll want to see it aboard a boat at least once. The way that the sun melts into the water is incredible!

The  Lands End Sunset Sail with Sebago Watersports is such a perfect way to spend an evening in Key West, Florida. It includes live music, drinks and appetizers and is such a great value!

#3 Visit The Hemingway House & Museum

Of course the Hemingway Home is an iconic Key West landmark. The grounds are just beautiful But, did you know that the Hemingway House & Museum is home to many cats – some with 6 toes and descendants of Hemingway’s own 6-toed cat! You can read my  Hemingway House Cats blog post  for more information and many photos. Plus, it has all the information you will need to plan your visit. 

#4 Jet Ski Around the Island of Key West

Looking for more excitement? The  90-minute jet ski tour  covers 28 miles and circles around the entire island of Key West. As an added bonus, the second rider is free on each jet ski. It's no wonder that this tour has been voted the best jet ski tour in Key West.

#5 Snorkel Florida's Coral Reef

On each of my trips to Key West, I ended up snorkeling with Sebago Watersports  and always enjoy it! I highly recommend this  Key West snorkel trip . If you want to see what it's like, you will want to see  this Instagram Reel  that I made from the water! I saw all kinds of fish and the weather and the water were perfect. I highly recommend this one.

Enjoy Your Weekend in Key West, FL

When it comes to fun things to do in Key West, this list only scratches the surface. There is something for everyone in the Conch Republic, a community of dreamers, where everyone is welcome!
