You will be welcomed on board your charter by your Captain and Mate, who will give you a short safety briefing while any drinks and snacks you've brought along are stowed in the coolers containing your complimentary soft drinks and ice.
Motor out of the harbor, and as soon as you're safely out of the way of the busy shipping lanes you'll hoist sail and continue the rest of the journey with the peaceful sounds of the waves and the breeze all around.
As you sail out to the best reef or sponge garden for your snorkel adventure (according to wind, tide and current on the day), your crew will be happy to answer questions and point out places of interest along the way - they've got some great local knowledge and always love to share Key West's colorful history and characters!
When you reach your snorkeling spot, you'll strike sail and drop anchor. You'll receive your gear and then you're free to explore the ocean or lie on deck and soak up the sun. Key West forms part of a large wildlife preserve so you will get to see some of the variety of sponges, corals, fish, crustaceans, starfish, urchins, birds and even maybe a dolphin or two!
With everyone safely back on board you'll make your way toward the harbor through the sunset, past the crowds at Mallory Square's Sunset Celebration and weaving in and out of the many other beautiful boats out to enjoy the evening - it's a great view! Your mate will serve your complimentary cheese platter to enjoy as the sun goes down and as the colors fade from the sky, you'll head back to the dock.
