Florida Keys Sunset Sail on the Jolly II Rover

As a parent, grandparent and very satisfied wife, I fully recommend this voyage to anyone of any age. The other guests on this voyage varied in age from teens to young parents with small children to retirees to singles and families from Europe. The crew included everyone in all activities, shared laughter and enjoyment with all and included every age group into the adventure. Then the sun started to set and all knew that whomever their Superior being was in life that it was there with us, sharing their works of art and better life in the pictures that were as beautiful as an accomplished artist or photographer could hope to get on paper. A great job by all and wonderful experience with many names and addresses exchanged for future travels!

I booked this trip because I have a friend who loves pirates, and I wanted some kind of pirate experience. First of all I have to say that the crew was fantastic. They were all very professional, pleasant, and informative. They even let me drive the schooner for a short time which was a blast. There is nothing wrong with the cruise itself, but it wasn't quite what I expected. We left at 630 in order to watch the sunset, but this was earlier than I would like to have left. Unfortunately it was really hot, and the sun was still burning me. I got a sunburn on my face because we were facing it for the first hour. Also there was no breeze because we were sailing on the wind, so it was difficult to cool off. I would like to sail later when the sun is closer to setting, and then retun when it's completely dark. That way I could see the stars too. The crowd wasn't what I expected either. Most of them were older, and I kind of expected younger people who would want a pirate experience. I would thoroughly enjoy something theatrical such as costumes and a performance, but I understand this is probably too much. There was a cannon fired at the end, but other than that, and the pirate flag, there wasn't anything piratey about it. The description says a "hint of piracy." This is very true. It's a very subtle hint. So don't go for the pirate experience. Go for the beautiful sunset, the fantastic crew, and the experience of sailing on the wind.

We booked the sunset sail on our last day in Key West. I wasn't expecting it to be as relaxing and wonderful as it was. It was a truly wonderful experience and something everyone should do. The captain and the crew were fantastic! They were very knowledgeable, courteous and all around great.

the cruise was just great. sunset was beautiful, it was relaxing and fun. the crew was professional, polite and accommodating. i would recommend to anyone visiting key west.

I would recommend The Jolly II Rover to any one who likes to be on the water and not listen to a motor running all the time. The crew was wonderful as well. It is a nice boat. We had a great time. If we get back down there we will do it again.

Very nice evening sail. The best choice to enjoy the water and Key West scenery. The party boats passed us and we were so glad not to be on them!

We were visiting Key West with our 14 year old granddaughter and wanted an enjoyable, family-friendly sunset cruise. The Jolly II Rover was it. We had a delightful 2-hour sail in an environment that was quite comfortable for our granddaughter. Crew was competent and friendly. A very pleasant experience.

The crew was enthusiastic and the sunset was beautiful!

Our sunset cruise on the Jolly II Rover met all of our expectations and then some! The captain and crew went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great time. My husband and I look forward to our next visit to Key West and our next cruise on the Jolly II Rover.

Our sail was a small group of 16 so there was plenty of room to see everything. Captain Ron allowed the group to take the wheel if we so chosed and it was nice to feel the boat move with the wind. I would highly recommend the sunset cruise.
