PRIVATE KEYS SUNSET CRUISES

Sunset in the Keys by Private Charter

The Florida Keys have some of the most beautiful sunsets in the country, and a private Florida Keys sunset cruise is the best way to see one, from a boat that is exclusively yours rather than a crowded shared cruise. With a licensed captain, a Bluetooth sound system, and the option of a private chef and open bar, the evening is entirely your own.

The most famous is the Key West sunset, seen from the harbor as the sky lights up over the Gulf, away from the Mallory Square crowd on shore. But the sunset is beautiful up the whole chain: over Florida Bay off Key Largo, the flats off Islamorada, and the Gulf with the Seven Mile Bridge in silhouette off Marathon. A catamaran suits a classic sunset sail.

A Keys sunset cruise is quoted per trip. A sound system is included, and add-ons such as a private chef for a sunset dinner cruise and an open bar can be added. Share your date and where you want the sunset via WhatsApp and we build the quote.

It was our first time exploring Miami by yacht and it was one of the best experiences we've had. The crew took great care of us the entire time. They were super friendly and patient. We stopped at multiple spots to take photos and the captain was more than happy to adjust the route whenever we wanted. Marinda also helped capture so many great moments for us, which made the whole experience even better. We will absolutely be returning!

We had an amazing experience with Crown Yachts Miami! They took care of every item on our list and the yacht was even nicer than we anticipated. 10/10 would recommend for a top-notch experience in Miami. Communication was also smooth.

We rented the 66ft Azimut during our trip to Miami and it was honestly one of the best days of our vacation. Everything was smooth from the start. We ordered food and drinks ahead of time, and when we arrived, everything was already set up on the yacht and super fresh. The drinks were already chilled in the ice box, which was perfect. We had an amazing time out on the water, everything was exactly how we hoped it would be. Definitely recommend Crown Yachts Miami if you're trying to have a fun day out with friends. Would 100% book again!

FAQ

Florida Keys Sunset Cruise FAQ

What is a Florida Keys sunset cruise?
A Florida Keys sunset cruise is a private, crewed evening on the water timed to the sunset, with a licensed captain and a Bluetooth sound system. The boat is exclusively yours, not a shared cruise, and the captain positions it for the best view as the sun drops, from the famous Key West harbor to the bayside of Key Largo.
Can I book a private sunset cruise in Key West?
Yes. A private Key West sunset cruise with Crown gives you the whole boat and the best sunset in Florida from the water, away from the Mallory Square crowd on shore. With a captain, a sound system, and optional private chef and open bar, it is one of the most popular evenings in the Keys and a strong candidate for the best sunset cruise in Key West.
Can I do a Key West sunset sail or sunset catamaran?
Yes. For a classic Key West sunset sail, our fleet includes stable, spacious catamarans, ideal for a relaxed sailing-style evening and larger groups. A traditional sailboat charter can be arranged on request. See the fleet to compare a Key West sunset catamaran with a motor yacht.
Can I add a sunset dinner cruise?
Yes. A private chef turns a Key West or Keys sunset cruise into a sunset dinner cruise, prepared and served aboard as the sun drops. An open bar and a full menu can be arranged, so the evening is a private dinner on the water rather than a shared cruise.
Is a Keys sunset cruise romantic, and good for a proposal?
Yes. A romantic sunset cruise in Key West or up the chain is one of the most requested evenings on the water, and because the boat is exclusively yours it is a natural setting for an anniversary or a proposal. We can arrange a proposal or celebration setup, a private chef, and champagne for the moment.
Can I do a sunset cruise in Key Largo, Islamorada, or Marathon?
Yes. The sunset is beautiful up the whole chain. A Key Largo sunset cruise runs over Florida Bay, an Islamorada sunset cruise over the flats, and a Marathon, FL sunset cruise over the Gulf with the Seven Mile Bridge in silhouette.
How long is a sunset cruise and what time does it leave?
A Keys sunset cruise usually runs about two to three hours, timed so you are on the water for the sunset and the golden hour before it. The exact departure depends on the time of sunset, which the captain confirms for your date, so you board with time to reach the best spot as the sun drops.
How much does a Keys sunset cruise cost?
A Keys sunset cruise is quoted per trip rather than at a fixed rate, because the total depends on the vessel, the length of the evening, the group size, and the add-ons. A short sunset cruise and a full sunset dinner cruise price differently, and a private chef and open bar factor in. Share your date and group size via WhatsApp for a tailored quote. Browse the fleet.
What is included in a Keys sunset cruise?
Every Keys sunset cruise includes a licensed captain and crew, fuel, a Bluetooth sound system, cooler and ice, and all navigation and safety equipment. A private chef, full catering and open bar, and celebration or proposal decoration are available as add-ons and pre-loaded before departure.
