-------------------------QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BOAT/TRIP-----------------------------
What boat will we be going on?
Most of the time the sunset sail will go out on the Danger's Prize. However, both the Danger and Danger's Prize are beautiful, 65 foot boats designed after traditional 19th century Chesapeake Bay Skipjacks. Due to repairs, private charters, and other factors, it is possible that the Danger may replace the Danger's Prize on the sunset trip from time to time. We can guarantee that regardless of the boat you take out, you will have an extraordinary time with us.
How far does the boat go out?
On the sunset trip, the boat will go out between 3 and 5 miles depending on the wind and weather conditions.
Will there be room on the boat to stow my belongings?
Yes, there is room in the cabin to store limited belongings. If you have large items such as luggage, they can be stored at the Danger kiosk on land and securely locked up during the trip.
Is the boat wheelchair accessible?
Both of our boats are wheelchair accessible. However, the lavatories on our boats are only accessible by ladder. Our crew will do it's best to assist you to the restroom, but use your own discretion in deciding if this trip will be comfortable for you.
Are there restrooms on board?
The Danger has one clean, marine head whereas the Danger's Prize has two. All restroom facilities are unisex and accessible by ladder. A marine head is slightly different than your home facilities, but your crew will explain the simple instructions before we sail.

Is the boat safe?
Both the Danger and Danger's Prize are safe, steady vessels certified by the US Coast Guard. Before each trip, you will receive a full demonstration outlining the safety equipment on board: you will learn where the life jackets are stowed, where the fire fighting stations are and how to use them, and even how to use man overboard devices. We also have a first aid kit on board in accordance with regulations.
Will I get seasick?

What is the Key West green flash?
The green flash is a phenomena that you can see at sunset in Key West, when a part of the sun suddenly changes color from red or orange to green! The green color lasts only a second or two at best, which is why it's called the "flash". It's an amazing sight to see, and you won't want to miss it!
Can I snorkel, kayak, or swim during this trip?
