Join our day trip to visit wild dolphins in the shallow waters off Key West, snorkel shipwrecks and reefs and enjoy some great sailing too. Our Champagne Celebration Sunset Cruise serves only the best (Moet & Chandon) Champagne, vintage wines and our gourmet cheese buffet. It’s nice to know that you’ll only be drinking the best. « less

When we arrived for our afternoon dolphin and snorkel cruise on May 16th we found that we were the sole sailors. It was lovely to have the boat to ourselves. Weather was beautiful and we enjoyed Capt. Brad and Melanie. After we sailed out and found the dolphins I was glad we were the only people on the boat. Evidently... More

We rented the Echo for a group of 8 of us while on vacation. The champagne, wine and cheese were really upscale and it was nice to be on our own boat with great service!

Our first time snorkeling and it couldn't have been better. We actually did the trip twice! The waters were crystal clear, and Noa and Tess made us feel right at home. Both trips out we encountered dolphins up close and personal. As you travel to the snorkeling spot you pass through the "dolphin playground." You can tell that the dolphins... More

I had such a good time on this Sunset Cruise. There was four of us and another party of eleven. And we had plenty of room. They had a wonderful assortment of wines, cheeses, spreads, crackers, Old Town Bakery Bread and beer. All included in price of cruise. It was my birthday/anniversary and the crew could not have been better.... More

I've booked excursions all over the world and this was quite possibly the best I've experienced. The trip combined three activities (sailing, snorkeling, and dolphin viewing) into a half day on the water for a very reasonable price. The guides were both extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to make the trip as enjoyable as possible for everyone on board. The... More

Sailing on the Echo has become a tradition for us in Key West! We have been out with them 3 times now.. each time with a different crew but each time fantastic! This is a small catamaran and fun to sail on. So much better than the larger "cattle call" companies in town. You start the excursion by sailing and... More

They were informative and eager for all to have an enjoyable trip. We were all provided waters and snacks on the way our to our snorkel location and good quality wines,... More

This trip was amazing and well worth the cost. We sailed for about an hour, snorkeled for an hour, and saw a ton of wild dolphins. The dolphins came right up next to our catamaran and were jumping out of the water showing off for us. There were only 6 of us on the trip and we got a much... More

Captain and crew were friendly, helpful and knowledgable. Boat had lots of room to move about. Found the dolphins on the way out and again on the way back in from the reef snorkeling trip. Weather was great. Water temp around 77. No wind at all, which meant we had to motor instead of sailing, probably the only thing that... More

We went on an afternoon wild dolphin watch and snorkeling cruise and thoroughly enjoyed it. We spotted our first 3 dolphins before really leaving the bay and loitered around to see they repeatedly as they did their dolphin business. They took us out to a reef near a small island a few miles offshore, where we went snorkeling. Saw beautiful... More
