Don't miss out on this truly unique experience!
L8502YIchristinao, October 2026
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!!

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!

Perfect sunset !!
terryrC6336JS, September 2026
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.
