About High Tide
With a large, comfortable cockpit, High Tide is perfect for group fun in the sun, family snorkeling trips to the National Wildlife Preserve, bachelorette parties, lilypad lounging, and visits to the mangrove island bird sanctuary.
If the thought of getting chummy with the captain, learning the ropes, and taking a turn at the wheel floats your boat, High Tide is your gal. A super-fast, nimble sloop with a 12-person capacity, High Tide is one of only two medium-sized sailboats in Key West able to venture into the backcountry. She is also well-suited for romantic sunset sails and celebrating special occasions such as proposals or anniversaries.
Like so many things we love, High Tide is a child of the ’80s. A Key West original, she was built locally in 1980 by the legendary Admiral Finbar, the first charter sailboat in Key West, and has been bringing the joy of sailing to guests ever since. Captain Seth first sailed on High Tide over 20 years ago. He considers her a trusty, old friend and hopes you will, too.
High Tide calls Key West home year-round, departing from The Perry Marina for snorkeling adventures, sunset sails, and everything in between.

Sailing On High Tide In Key West
Can I sail the boat?
Weather and traffic permitting, everyone who wants to will get a chance to man the helm and get a taste of what it’s like to sail.
Will I get a sunburn?
As it reflects off the water, the sun out on the water is brighter than on land. We highly recommend using some sunscreen– a minimum of 30 SPF or higher. Also, if you are prone to sunburn, you may want to wear protective clothing. And nothing reduces the glare off the water as well as polarized sunglasses.
What wildlife will I see?
Ocean wildlife, like wildlife everywhere, is diverse and unpredictable. Every trip will offer different species. Key West is filled with dolphins, manatees, tarpon, sharks, barracuda, turtles, and many species of birds. The reefs are brimming with exotic tropical fish and corals. Of course, we can not predict nor guarantee what you will see, our experienced crew will do their best to point out any interesting wildlife that you may encounter during your charter. Keep a camera handy.
Are children welcome?
Yes. Sunset Sail Key West is kid-friendly. However, all children must be supervised by an adult for the duration of the trip. Children 6 and under will be provided with a lifejacket they are required to wear on-board.
