Amazing all around.
katiakS9845PN, October 2026
We did the sandbar and dolphin trip and it was amazing! Sandbar was a lot of fun. The water in October was very warm and clear. We got to see dolphins that came to the boat and gave us a close up view. The crew was super friendly and helpful. The food and drinks were excellent. The entire trip is a must when you visit Key West!

Nice
LISA_A, October 2026
No dolphins but the sandbar was beautiful. A little pricey, but the drinks were good and lots of water toys to use were provided
Response from the operator · daniela c Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the beautiful sandbar, refreshing drinks, and water toys during your trip. Dolphins are wild animals, so sightings can never be guaranteed, but we understand it can be disappointing when they don't appear. We appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you back to Sunset Watersports for another Key West adventure!
