Recent reviews in key west.

We had a great time with Anthony! The boat and the conversations were great! I can only recommend everyone to book Anthony as a captain

Was very pleased with Pats professionalism with this booking. He was quick and very helpful with all the details of my trip. We were a group of ladies visiting from all different places so I was nice to get to experience some time together out on the water. Can’t wait to do it again! 5 star service

Jorge and Nicole were very attentive and treated us like we were on a 100ft Yacht. Jorge was extremely friendly and the seven of us felt safe, the 4 hour sail was extremely relaxing. Our booking was at night: therefore, we didn't take advantage of using the jet ski or floaty, but having the option was great. Nicole was beautiful inside and out. Everything we asked she assisted us with a smile. Not having to lift a finger during the sail was the icing on the cake. This excursion was great way to end our girls trip. We are looking forward to a repeat.

Jorge and Louis were amazing treated my family very well the entire trip my brother is visually impaired and they treated them with kindness and respect. Kind and friendly to the two kids on the boats. I am a navy veteran and DIsc Jockey for FM318 live and they were very respectful and helpful like I was DJ Khalid. They deserve a raise. They also like my Dominican culture music!!!

Great Service Book with Jorge he was very great to my family and DJ Crowdpleaser from FM318 radio. Great views we had fun in the water good music plenty of water we brought light snacks they kept them cold in the cooler just right for this Miami weather.

David was a great host. No surprise charges and very accommodating in all aspects. Captain Dustin and Christina were very knowledgeable on local spots to avoid the wind and were great to hang out with for the day. We would highly recommend spending a day touring with them.

BOAT RENTAL REVIEWS

The boat rental folks at Sunset Watersports were extremely helpful and fun! The crew had winning personalities that made the trip extremely enjoyable and the staff at our boat rental day went out of their way to be helpful during shuttle service and getting us set up with fun GPS coordinates for our pontoon boat rental day. Thank you for the good times!

Absolutely incredible boat rental. The crew were fantastic. Christie and Bridget did a wonderful job at Cow Key Marina. If you want a great boat rental in the Key West area, this is the place to go! We rented a pontoon boat and they directed us to a beautiful sandbar for the best day ever!!

We did a full day rental if the 22 foot center console fishing boat. Service was great before and after rental. I selected the incorrect boat when booking online and called in to change the order. They were very accommodating. Staff was very helpful with pointing out spots to check out and when going over the boat. Built in cooler and swim ladder. Overall a great experience!

Sunset Watersports boat rental crew made it easy to rent. The shop had fishing pole rentals, snorkeling rentals and bait. Helped us download the navionics app on our smartphones and prepared us for what the waterways were like. Great guys!

My wife and I were in Key West to celebrate her birthday. The staff were very helpful. They advised us the 21' center console fishing boat would be a better option due to the weather conditions which was a good choice, as it had been renovated recently and had better equipment. The staff prepared us for our outing, we took their advice and had a great day. We cruised around the entire island. Encountered a group of dolphins who joined us for about 30 minutes, playing in our wake and leaping out of the water. It was fantastic! Went to the sandbar and enjoyed relaxing in the ocean. Big thumbs ups from us!

• Chevron down What sandbars should we go to in Key West?

Key West is surrounded by some of the Florida Keys best sandbars. Here are some of our favorites. 

Snipes point sandbar boat rentals:.

Located east of the mangrove isles of Mud Keys, its easily one of the favorite local sandbar hangouts. This sandbar gets even more popular on weekends, where you can find tons of locals from the middle to lower Florida Keys. Snipes Point water is crystal clear and shallow.

Jewfish Basin Sandbar Boat Rentals:

Located just 7 miles north of Key West you will find a series of beautiful sandbars tucked away in between the Harbor Keys & Mud Keys. These sandbars are perfect inlets for boat rentals & very close to our marina dock at Cow Key Marina.

Mud Keys Sandbar Boat Rentals:

The only reason this location is number 3 on the list is due to the difficulty navigating. The Mud Keys are a series of mangrove islands and shallow water way passages. This location is much less popular, not because of it’s beauty but due to it’s true seclusion. We highly recommend asking our company for a guide to help navigate these tough passages.

Boca Grande Sandbar Boat Rentals:

Boca Grande is another amazing sandbar located in just off of Key West. Boca Grande is about 15 miles west of Key West and is a 180 acre uninhabited island located in the Mule Keys. This sandbar is great for exploring & socializing among other visitors. This sandbar is outside of the range of our standard boat rental but you can hire a guide with one of our boat rentals to explore this incredible island.

Boca Chica Sandbar Boat Rentals:

The closest and most accessible of Key West’s sandbars is located just off the island of Boca Chica. This sandbar is about a mile from the marina and is frequented by jetski tours, boat rentals and charters alike. This shallow water haven is ideal for your first stop no matter if you are going snorkeling, sandbar hopping or even fishing.
