Key West, FL
Experience the famous Key West sunset with a sail onboard one of the most well known schooners in the United States. Elegant. Refined. One of a kind.
American naval architect John G. Alden possessed an extraordinary talent for designing yachts which combined spectacular elegance with record-breaking performance. A passionate offshore racer, he designed a series of winning yachts for the Newport–Bermuda races, naming those built for his own use the Malabar series.
The 1930-built Malabar X was the magnum opus of his schooner portfolio, winning her class in 1930 and smashing records in 1932 to take first place overall, ahead of three other schooners of Alden’s design.
Come sail Malabar X and be part of her story as we head into the sunset. Help raise sail, take a turn at the helm, or simply relax as our captain and crew sail you out to catch the breeze.
Seats on a shared experience on the schooner Malabar X with her captain and crew
Two boutique wines made in honor of John Alden, and select beers
Bottled water and La Croix
Any necessary sun protection
Appropriate weatherwear for the day — it can be cool on the water after sunset
All ages welcome.
Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
Gratuity for the crew is customary and very much appreciated. It is not included in the fee for your trip, so if you think they did a good job, please do remember them at the end of your sail.
Enjoy the best of both worlds with a sail to a vibrant Florida Keys snorkeling spot, where you'll explore fascinating marine life and mangrove ecosystems. Afterward, dry off with a light snack platter and sail into the sunset, returning to the dock perfectly in time for dinner.
Set Sail as we navigate under sail for a truly Eco friendly adventure! We will use our expertise to sail towards the Dolphin playground and then to our "backcountry" snorkeling destination.
At Sunset Sail Key West we bring you the perfect end to an island day; capture the magic of it all from the deck of your own private tropical sailboat.
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.
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.
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.
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.
