Activity Description
All hands on deck! Join us for the monthly Wreckers Race aboard the Schooner Adirondack II! Back in the day of the ole pirates, ships from afar used to run aground on Sand Key Reef. Then all the scallywags in Key West would get in their boats and race out to the reef! The first one there could claim the ship's cargo! Arrgg!

Today, we celebrate it with the firing of the canon at 1:00pm to start the race and it's off on a one-way race from the Pier House in the harbor to Sand Key Reef! Enjoy the excitement aboard Schooner Adirondack II under the sunny sky of Key West as you race for victory! The boat that gets there first, "wins"!

Then relax and sail back to the dock where there is an award ceremony at the Schooner Wharf Bar for the first, second, and third place winners.

Highlights along the way:

  • $1 Drinks!  Beer, wine, soda and bottled water.
  • The famed Sand Key Reef, Mallory Square, and Sunset Pier.
  • Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife: dolphins, sea turtles, and waterbirds.
  • A waterside view of Fort Zachary Taylor.
Bring your family and/or friends and join our courteous and professional crew for this adventurous race that will complete the Key West experience in comfort, excitement, and style! Guests are encouraged to bring their own picnic or grab a sandwich from the Schooner Wharf Bar.

Special Note: The boat will depart at 12:15 pm but the race officially begins at 1 pm.
