The views were breathtaking, and the boat wasn't crowded, which made the experience feel very relaxed and personal. Diana was incredibly friendly and welcoming, but the real highlights for us were the two dogs—especially Baba, the little Chihuahua. He was the star of the show! Highly recommend this for a peaceful evening.Posted on Google Rahul SinghTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. BEST Sunset Sail in Key West! Capt. Ricky & Crew = Fabulous!!Posted on Google Steven ODonnellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had just a wonderful evening! Great crew very friendly and they did not overcrowd us. Very family friendly. We got see the beautiful sunset and enjoy ourselves! ❤️Posted on Google Dee BuchananTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We took a sunset sail on the Spirit of Independence. Despite a time and dock change mix up, Dianna, one of the Crew, insisted they find us and wait for us. For her efforts, we are extremely grateful. The sail was wonderful. Captain Ricky, Carl and Dianna were welcoming and seemed genuinely happy to have everyone on board. There were about 15 guests, smaller and quieter than most of the boats on the water at sunset, and therefore much more personal and peaceful. This gave everyone more opportunity to talk with the crew and learn about the boat. If you are in Key West, we highly recommend a sunset sail aboard the Schooner Spirit of Independence.Posted on Google Michele EnsmingerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanks for another great sunset cruise! We have been on six 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.Posted on Google S PatzkowskyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife, 8-year old daughter, and I “stumbled” upon this sunset sail on accident after a mishap with a previously booked cruise left us stranded on the dock…Dayana, Liz, and Captain Ricky invited us onboard last minute with open arms (there were literally hugs involved). I can honestly say that that little mishap with the other cruise was a “happy little accident” that we’re now super thankful for because we had THE BEST TIME with some truly wonderful people! We will absolutely be repeat customers and recommend the Schooner Spirit of Independence to everyone we know visiting Key West in the future. Thanks so much team! You made this a wonderful experience :)Posted on Google Brian WinsorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Well worth the cost.
