Sunset Watersports offers a solid range of activities from parasailing and jet skiing to snorkeling trips and dinner cruises, with most visitors leaving genuinely impressed. The parasailing consistently gets rave reviews, with guests like Wyatt and various captains earning specific shoutouts for making the experience memorable and capturing great photos. The dinner cruises seem to be another winner, with Captain Kristen, Captain Logan, and others praised for their knowledge and service. People love the combination of sunset views, live music, cocktails, and the overall atmosphere. The snorkeling excursions also get strong marks, particularly when captains like Kristen find calm spots on the reef and crews like Kevin, Maggie, Helen, and McKenzie take time to explain everything thoroughly. That said, there are some hiccups worth noting. One detailed review painted a concerning picture of the water adventure park experience, citing inattentive staff more focused on their phones than guest safety, mediocre food (boiled hot dogs and chicken nuggets), and a snorkeling setup that felt underwhelming. Another guest had a truly disappointing sunset sail where the crew couldn't even get the sail up, leading to an hour spent circling near the dock with static-filled music and subpar food and drinks. While these negative experiences seem to be outliers given the overwhelmingly positive feedback, they suggest consistency can vary depending on which activity you book and which crew you get. The jet skiing and parasailing appear to be the safest bets if you're trying to decide what to book.

What people are saying

Fabulous evening on the Sandie Cat with friends! Captain and crew were attentive and very friendly. It looked like there was rain all around us, but our wonderful captain steered us between the storms. The boat was not overcrowded at all, and there were plenty of places to stand or sit to enjoy the view. Live music was provided and a wonderful, complete dinner buffet was included too. A nice touch as we boarded the boat – rum punch was premade and ready to grab while we listened to the captains instructions on safety.Would 100% recommend and hope to go again next time we are in Key West.
