Joe and Conner did a wonderful job with our trip. They were very knowledgeable, respectful, and helpful in all aspects of the trip. The destination was incredible as was the experience. For the price, it is a tremendous value in my opinion. I would definitely do another trip with Danger Charters and highly recommended them!

Itinerary
Guests will snorkel and kayak in the protected waters of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, exploring shallow seagrass beds, coral heads, and quiet mangrove islands. Our crew will lead you through calm, winding channels where you’ll learn about this unique backcountry ecosystem—home to rays, tropical fish, small sharks, sport fish, and the occasional sea turtle. Overhead, keep an eye out for birds like herons, egrets, ospreys, and pelicans that thrive in the mangroves. No kayaking experience? No problem. Our stable sea kayaks are easy to handle, and our crew will have you paddling like a pro in no time.
The trip begins with a sail through Key West Harbor, where you’ll get a front-row view of the island’s colorful past and present. From the water, you’ll see historic landmarks, working shrimp boats, luxury yachts, and the charming mix of old and new that defines the Key West waterfront. As we cruise along the coastline, our crew will share stories about the island’s rich history—from its days as a bustling port town to its reputation as a haven for artists, pirates, and presidents alike.

Awesome experience! The crew is just wonderful, the whole thing is well prepared down to the very details. Kayaking and snorkling are just cool!
The half day snorkel, kayaking and sailing excursion was AWESOME! Our 2 guides were friendly, knowledgeable and provided great service. There was so much packed into this half day experience. We learned a ton about Key West's history and saw amazing wildlife in both the snorkeling and kayaking portions of the trip. And we capped it off watching an incredible sunset as we sailed back. We highly recommend this company and experience!!
Highly recommend. The 3 women crew were bad ass and gave us a great experience. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that is looking for a fun adventure.
Booked this as a surprise for our anniversary and although it had to be pushed back another day- it was a super easy process and they offered other options if the excursions I wanted weren’t available or to provide a full refund. The actual excursion as amazing and wonderfully captained by Marie and guided by Lauren/ Kaylee. They were excellent hosts, kept us engaged throughout the trip, and made us feel safe. The boat was clean and they provided clear and direct expectations/ rules from the guests. The guided kayak tour from Kaylee proved to be educational & fun all wrapped in one! It was such a beautiful and relaxing moment of the trip. I would highly recommend booking with Danger Charters and getting to meet these lovely ladies!
Last minute booking that exceeded expectations. Our boat only had six customers, captain Travis and family rdt mate Trevor were attentive and made it a fine evening. For what you pay for and time on the boat, well worth the money for the experience. Snorkel time and kayaking were great and finalized by a sunset cruise.
The crew was great thumbs up for Daniel Travis, and Ed. We snorkel road kayaks and had a sunset cruise back home. We were chasing the storm, but we beat it.
The crew was phenomenal and very attentive. We saw a lot of the local wildlife and learned a lot about the ecosystem too!
What a great time ! The kayaks were great. I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable the seat were as other times I have used a kayak the sets were terribly uncomfortable. Lexie was an awesome guide and first mate. She worked her butt off to help Captain Joe give an awesome afternoon. The snorkeling was really cool. The friend we were with had been snorting several other times & places and agree this was one of the best they had experienced, Overall wonderful day !!!
We had a blast with Joe and Trevor. They were very helpful and funny. The group we had were all strangers at first but we had the best time. The sunset was awesome!
Joe and Trevor were the best! Trevor waited on us hand and foot. Always making sure we had food and drinks . Sunset was beautiful. Snorkeling was an adventure and kayaking was peaceful. If you like fun then book this adventure.
Highly recommended for a true Key West experience! Crew was very informative , knowledgeable and professional. Brett and Daniel were Great Mates for a real Good Time!! Thank you
What an outstanding experience with Captain Joe and Connor. We had originally booked the sunset and kayaking trip and we were called in the morning and asked if we could bring it forward by an hour, not an issue. Check in was easy, we arrived 30 mins early as directed and had to wait for the captain, no issue. Captain Joe and Connor couldn’t do enough for us on the boat, both were knowledgable and pointed out items of interest on the way. Snorkelling was great, they had loads of equipment including noodles for those who weren’t strong swimmers… first thing I did was drop my flipper in the water 🤷♀️ Connor to the rescue, flipper retrieved and off we went to do some amazing snorkelling. Connor was in the water too and pointing out where all the fish were, seen some gorgeous fish! Later on we stopped at a sandbank, and could kayak if we wished, we went with Connor round the island and stopped on a sandbank in the middle of nowhere, again Connor was talking us all about the mangroves, and the wildlife. Then we were able to float around the sandbank for a while, before the trip back which we had the most stunning sunset, then just before we docked, the dolphins came up to say hello… almost as if they were paid to pop up at that exact time… stunning! Nobles were served on board and there was plenty of drinks to go round, no alcoholic drinks until after snorkelling which seems very sensible to me. I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough.. it was an absolute highlight of our trip to key west.
So great! Snorkeling gear in great shape…Crew was helpful and fun. Sunset unbelievable with some dolphins saying goodbye as we got back. Beautiful sailboat.
Fun time, captain and boat staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a really good time, definitely recommend!
The crew was amazing, Captain Tom, Connor and Laura Love. They took good care of everyone and made you feel welcomed and comfortable. It was my wife's, who loves being in the ocean, birthday and she couldn't have had a better time. Thank you guys so much. If you are looking for a great time look no further.
Crew wer.e great hosts and very knowledgeable. Made the entire experience very enjoyable. Would go with again
OMG!! What an amazing experience! It started out on a beautiful sailboat. Enjoyed some local fruit on our way to the reef! My family loved the snorkel at the beautiful Lighthouse Reef! Our crew member, Lexi, guided us out to see lots of colorful fish. Safety was a priority throughout the entire day, above and beyond. Great for beginners or any experience level. Capt. Joe made sure everyone enjoyed the day! Enjoyed a lunch with a variety of offerings and drinks! Next was the Kayaking at the mangroves! Absolutely beautiful! We kayaked with Lexi over the calm clear beautiful waters into the mangroves on an island. Learned a little history, saw beautiful birds, and the very best......found some live conch! It was incredible! The adventure continued on a beautiful sail back to the dock! A fun filled family day that we will NEVER forget! Priceless experience! The crew was top notch! Safety was always a priority! The crew made it a fun experience and although we spent hours with them, we didn't want it to end! DO NOT MISS OUT!! AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! I booked other tours the DANGER CHARTERS, they are above and beyond THE BEST!! Thanks for adventure! We will be back!
What an absolute blast even despite the weather!! The crew were so kind, so accommodating, and so funny! We couldn’t have picked a better crew if we tried! Highly recommend and will seek them out again.
We had a great time. Allie and Micha were amazing! We would do this again if we ever go back to Key West.
Had a great time. Staff was professional, insightful, always making sure we were safe and having fun. Being on a sail boat was a nice change than a motorized boat. Though it was a smaller group than other tours, I enjoyed the personal attention. Perfect for a large family. Perfect amount of time was given for snorkeling, kayaking and the sunset cruise. Cloud coverage blocked the full sunset but it was still a great view out on the water. Would highly recommend this company!
This was a great because it is on a smaller sailboat and has a twenty limit on passengers. We only had nine so a very personal experience. Good combo of snorkeling and kayaking! Snacks and drinks were plentiful!
We had a great time on this tour! Everyone was so friendly and very helpful when it came to making us feel comfortable during the snorkeling and kayaking activities. Would highly recommend this tour and company!
The adventure was incredibly fun. The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable; learned many things about the area and the history. It couldn't have been better!
The boat goes very slowly and you spend the bulk of the tour getting to the destinations instead of at the destinations enjoying them. A regular boat would have taken 10 minutes to get to the sand bar and this one took an hour and a half. We only spent 30 minutes snorkeling and 30 at the sand bar. There is also no music playing so it was a very boring boat ride and uncomfortable as you are sitting on a bench. We were told there was a “medical emergency” so we had to leave the sand bar and go all the way back to the port to drop off a drunk dehydrated lady. Tours should not be changed to accommodate drunk people. There was definitely no medical emergency. At this point we decided to cut our losses and get off too as we didn’t want to be stuck on the slow boat any longer. Unless you like wasting your precious vacation time on a slow moving boat that just sails and don’t care about enjoying time in the water, skip this tour.
Great experience!! A squared (Anna and Anthony) did an amazing job keeping it fun, hype, yet relaxing to enjoy some snorkeling and kayaking in Key West. My husband and other friends really enjoyed it.
If you're on the fence about booking a trip with Danger Charters, don't hesitate—just do it! This was, without a doubt, one of the most memorable experiences of our entire Florida Keys vacation. We chose the sunset sail that included snorkeling and kayaking, and it exceeded every expectation we had. Captain Anna and First Mate Anthony were absolutely outstanding. They struck the perfect balance between being professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to be around. From the moment we stepped aboard, they made everyone feel welcome, safe, and completely at ease. Their enthusiasm for what they do was contagious, and it was obvious they truly enjoy creating an unforgettable experience for their guests. Snorkeling in the crystal-clear turquoise water was incredible, and kayaking through the mangroves allowed us to experience a peaceful side of the Keys that we never would have discovered on our own. Every part of the trip was thoughtfully planned, yet it never felt rushed. We had plenty of time to enjoy each activity and simply soak in the beauty around us. Then came the sunset...and it was absolutely breathtaking. Watching the sky transform into brilliant shades of gold, orange, pink, and purple while sailing across the water was the perfect ending to an already incredible day. It was one of those magical moments that reminds you to slow down, breathe deeply, and simply appreciate the beauty of where you are. The food and drinks were excellent, the boat was comfortable, and Captain Anna and Anthony made the entire trip feel like an adventure with friends rather than a typical tourist excursion. We are a particularly active and hungry group, so next time we will bring additional snacks. When we think back on our time in Key West, this experience will always be one of our favorite memories. We can't thank Captain Anna and First Mate Anthony enough for making our day so special. If you're visiting Key West, don't miss the opportunity to sail with Danger Charters—you'll leave with unforgettable memories and a whole new appreciation for the beauty of the Florida Keys.
This was a fun day of sailing snorkeling and kayaking. Captain and crew did a wonderful job. Thank you to Joe,Connor and Casey.
This was a fantastic experience! The captain and crew were friendly and thoughtful and made the trip effortless. It wasn’t an inexpensive trip, but it was worth the splurge! Snacks and drinks and equipment are all included. And the small number of guests aboard makes it easy to get to know the others—we made some friends on the trip! Captain Joe, Laura, and Trevor made this my daughter’s and my favorite vacation experience yet!
100% recommend using this company! They were beyond amazing! You get a smaller, personal experience with a boat that has a maximum of 20 people unlike other companies that have massive boats crammed with a ton of people on them. The crew was beyond amazing and the entire experience was relaxing and incredibly enjoyable! 100% recommend!
We had a wonderful experience on this tour. From the moment we boarded, the crew was friendly, welcoming, and exceptionally professional. They struck the perfect balance between making the trip fun and engaging while always keeping safety their top priority. The sailing was beautiful, the kayaking and snorkeling were both well organized, and the crew made sure everyone felt comfortable and included, regardless of experience level. They also kept us well taken care of with plenty of snacks and drinks throughout the excursion. If you’re looking for a memorable way to experience the waters around Key West, I highly recommended the tour. The outstanding crew truly made the day special, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Danger Charters again.
We booked a private charter for our family and friends to renew our wedding vows. This day was perfect! Captain Joe, Morgan and Dani were top notch. They made sure everyone was taken care of from drinks to food to snorkeling and time at the sand bar. Our family and friends raved about the food bust especially the customer service! Snorkeling was great we had ages from 4 to 71. Some of our friends stayed on the boat and were treated to by seeing a sea turtle swim by. We could not have asked for a more perfect day!
We had an amazing day with Captain Tony and crew! Great trip, beautiful day. The Danger was a beautiful sailboat and the cold beer and snacks were a great end to a great day. So worth the price!
We had an amazing time on this trip. The captain and crew were helpful and attentive. Loved the snorkeling and kayaking through mangroves. Wine and beer aplenty-highly recommend!
Very professional operation. Everything was clearly explained and then everything happened just as it was explained. There was plenty of water and drinks available. There is some shade on the boat for those of us not wanting too much sun. The crew did very well taking care of us.
Ana, Ali, and Mo were absolutely awesome. Fun, informative, and helpful - just what we wanted for an excursion while on vacation in Key West. Highly recommend. Will book with them again.
Amazing experience. Crew was awesome. So much fun.
Did the morning sail. Kayaking and snorkeling! Crew A+ Boat A+ Guiding in all phases A+ Checks all the boxes for a relaxing stress free water adventure!
The crew was WONDERFUL - knowledgeable, fun, quick to make sure we were having a great time. Kayaked around the mangroves and saw lots of birds, horseshoe crab, and sea turtles. Snorkeled for a bit and saw several small fish, lobster, and sponges. Snacks and COLD drinks were great!
We had a great time on Danger Charters! Shoutout to our captain, Evan, and his crew Trevor and Katy! It was a blast riding on the sailboat, snorkeling and kayaking by the mangroves. Wildlife was abundant and we saw some awesome things! The crew was exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly and personable!
Our trip with Captain Joe and his incredible crew was hands-down fantastic. From start to finish, the crew went above and beyond—the two crew ladies, Morgan and Deny, were absolute lifesavers, helping my daughter with a rubber band and coming to the rescue with the perfect sun protection. Morgan even learned our names. ❤️ Here are the highlights of our trip: • Top-Tier Snorkeling: Having snorkeled in Belize, my standards are incredibly high, but this experience absolutely delivered. We saw a hammerhead shark, rays, barracuda, and tons of vibrant reef fish. They provided all the gear we needed, including fins, masks, and even the anti-fog solution. • Outstanding History Lesson: The historical learning section of the tour was simply outstanding and deeply informative. • Impeccable Service: They kept us perfectly hydrated the entire time, and the fresh fruit service arrived right on cue. • Rain or Shine Fun: Even when it rained heavily and other boats packed up and left, Captain Joe kept the fun going! The water stayed warm at our second stop, a warm water sandbank. It was 4th of July, so we listened to/sang patriotic songs while the ladies made it even more magical by getting the drinks to us.❤️ Chips and sauce followed on our way back to the shore. Captain Joe, you bet we will be back! Thank you all for making our tour so unforgettable!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What an awesome, truly beautiful experience! When I booked, I didn’t realize how gorgeous the boat was going to be; we were on Sara and she’s not a generic, plastic boat like you see all around ~ the complete opposite actually, a handsome, unique sailboat like straight out of a movies (or Pinterest board, if Pinterest did boats). The captain and crew (Joe, Katie and Rocky) were incredibly knowledgeable, fast to assist, and paid attention to every little detail. (Katie even made and played her most epic playlist, giving our day impeccable vibes) We made fast friends with everyone on the boat, one of the best days of my life, ending with dolphins surrounding us! Thank you, Danger Charters!
Great excursion! Highly recommend! The captain and crew were super friendly and informative.
I booked this adventure and was not sure what to expect. But Anne and her crew Conner and Cowen were spectacular! They did an amazing job taking care of everyone. This was my 25th anniversary and my wife was so happy. We also kayaked and snorkeled in the ocean. The sunset was beautiful. I would highly recommend adding this cruise to your itinerary.
Anne and her awesome crew, Conner and Cohen. They were so kind and courteous. We had a blast kayaking and snorkeling. Well to be honest we floated by the boat and enjoyed the ocean. They went above and beyond to make everyone feel good. Anne was an excellent boat captain. I highly recommend this activity.
Absolutely incredible experience! We did the afternoon sail and had the best time! Anna was our captain, and she and the entire crew were outstanding. From the moment we stepped aboard until we returned to the dock, we were treated like royalty. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and genuinely made sure we had an amazing experience. The snorkeling was fantastic, and kayaking through the beautiful water was something we’ll never forget. The boat was great, the atmosphere was fun and relaxing, and everything was organized perfectly. If you’re looking for an unforgettable day on the water, this is the tour to book. We can’t recommend this company and crew highly enough!
Snorkeling in deeper water which can be very difficult everyone should be in relatively good shape before they take on this experience.
I took this excursion with my teenager. We both had a great time. I hadn’t snorkeled in a long time and appreciated the instructions to refresh my memory. The crew showed us a good time, kept us hydrated, brought out snacks, and pointed out interesting bits of information. This was one of the highlights of our trip overall. I would do it again in a heartbeat if we’re ever back this way!
Our group of seven booked the afternoon Sunset Cruise during our girls trip to Key West, and we all agreed it was a highlight of our trip! I loved how much time we got to spend snorkeling, and we saw some fantastic fish. Kayaking through the mangroves and spotting turtles was a lot of fun. The crew even stayed out a little later than promised to ensure we got to see the full, gorgeous sunset from the water. The crew was thoughtful, attentive and a lot of fun. We all agreed that this excursion was not only a blast but also a great value for everything included. Highly recommended!
Easy paced fun & adventure, really helpful & knowledgeable crew, drinks & snacks onboard. Loved the sunset
