Schooner Spirit of Independence - Key West, Florida

Embarked on the sunset cruise on Spirit of Independence last night in Key West. An amazing experience. Crew is squared away, engaged and not just friendly, they made you feel like part of the family. Capt. Rickie steered her perfect for photos and Capatina Diana (sp) we're always there to help with the perfect photo op. We will definitely come back.

Fair winds and following seas Spirit of Independence.

This was an amazing experience. The crew and the captain provided great service. The is very large boat, over 80 feet on the deck. There were only about 20 people on board, so there was plenty of room to move around and plenty of places to sit when needed. They served great sandwiches and champagne as well as other adult beverages and plenty of water. Highly recommended!

Hands down the best sunset cruise in all of Key West!! I highly recommend Captain Ricky and his crew!! They took such great care of us while on their boat! They made my surprise engagement cruise the most magical time! Diana even went out of her way to take photos and videos so we could have those special memories forever! They were so kind and accommodated all our requests! I cant recommend this company enough!!! Thank you again to Captain Ricky, Diana and the crew for all they did in making this day so special for me and my Fiancé! We will be back again for sure!!!

Very smooth sailing with a beautiful view of the sunset. I can't swim and I'm always a little leary out on the water, i was so relaxed and at no point did i even think about being nervous. Captain Ricky did an amazing job. Diana (i think that's her name) has worked for Ricky for 10+ years. As she dutifully completed her job responsibilities, She was very attentive to the guests and making sure they were enjoying themselves. Her helper did a great job also. And they give you the most delicious foccacia turkey sandwiches ~ Yummy 😋 I highly recommend Schooner Spirit of Independence!

BEST thing to do in Key West!

We were referred by a local friend to book the Spirit of Independence Sunset Tour, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The boat was easily accessible and very comfortable, and the crew was friendly, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. They were all eager to ensure we had the best experience possible.

A special thank you to Capt. Ricky, who has over 50 years of sailing experience! Sitting next to him was an absolute treat—his calm, friendly demeanor and fascinating stories made the tour unforgettable. If you have just one excursion to try in Key West, this is the one to do!

5/5 stars!!!

Thanks for another great sunset cruise! We have been on three sunset cruises with Captain Ricky and crew. Enjoy a nice relaxing cruise with free wine, beer, champagne and mimosas. We had approximately 20 people on board so we had plenty of room to relax and visit with other on board and the crew. As we sailed around a watched the sunset we enjoyed some nice music.

Very beautiful sunset sail. I had great time with my family. The crew was very friendly and told us lots of history about key west. The boat is also dog friendly and Captain Ricky is the best! I will definitely recommend to my friends and everybody! Keep the dream alive ❤️
