Key West Full-Day Ocean Adventure: Kayak, Snorkel, Sail

About this activity

Danger Charters is the only tour operator in Key West offering sailing excursions on a historic schooner into the remote backcountry of the National Wildlife Refuge. Our trips are truly small-group, with a max of around 20 guests, so you'll never feel crowded—whether you're snorkeling, kayaking, or relaxing on deck. On the Premium Day Trip, we often stop at a shallow sandbar, a guest favorite for swimming, wading, or just enjoying the view!

What really sets us apart is our crew. They're passionate about what they do, and it shows in the way they lead each activity, share local history, and give fun, informative eco talks. Whether you're brand new to snorkeling or a seasoned paddler, the crew offers guidance, support, and an easygoing atmosphere that makes everyone feel welcome.

This trip combines adventure, education, and laid-back sailing in one of the most beautiful and untouched parts of the Florida Keys.

Itinerary

This full-day sailing trip is the perfect way to explore the natural side of Key West—away from crowds and off the beaten path. You’ll board a historic schooner and sail into the Key West National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area only accessible by boat, known for clear water, mangrove islands, and marine life! You’ll snorkel in the wildlife refuge, kayak around mangrove islands, and relax on deck between activities. When conditions allow, we'll also stop at a shallow sandbar. All gear is provided, including sanitized snorkel equipment, flotation devices, and kayaks. The crew shares stories about Key West’s history and gives fun, informative eco talks throughout the day. No experience is needed—they guide and support all skill levels! Group size is limited to 20 guests for a more personal, spacious experience. This trip is family-friendly and great for all ages. Lunch is fresh and locally prepared, with salads from Fausto’s, sandwiches, fruit, chips and salsa, and hummus. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available on request. Restroom facilities are onboard. After the water activities, enjoy craft beer, wine, and non-alcoholic drinks during the sail back to Key West!
