A war hero's yacht at golden hour

Details:

“When the war is over, and if I live through it, Bea and I are going to sail around the world,” declared General George S. Patton of his beloved custom-built yacht.

Sunset Sail Key West is proud to be home to the schooner yacht When and If: the peacetime dream of an American war hero. This octogenarian beauty is open to the public as part of a fund-raising programme to preserve her flag, keep her in her current excellent condition, and fulfil her destiny to sail around the world.

Come be part of her story as we sail into the sunset, enjoying the unspoiled view and blue water sailing to be had off the Keys’ Atlantic coast. 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 When and If with her captain and crew

Two boutique wines made in honor of the boat, and select beers

Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful information before you sail.

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.

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.
