I went on a sunset trip with my girlfriend. I was a beautiful Key
West sunset sail, they kept our drinks full and we met some nice people
from all over the country. The crew was nice and I would definitely go

“"Floridays" - One of the best snorkel trips we have had”

May 12, 2012 NEW
Great day ( ship's crew can not control the weather), Great crew
(Captain Alexis and First Mate Charla) and only 3 couples made the
afternoon trip to the reef a real personal and memorable experience. The
crew was professional and friendly through the trip. Although we were
experienced snorkelers another couple were first timers. Charla paid
special attention to insure their first time experience was one to
remember. The reef was fascinating and the water conditions superb.
Highly recommend "Floridays" for your Key West experience

We did a sunset cruise that was both beautiful as well as romantic!
The crew was very friendly and helped us with keeping the drinks
flowing. There was plenty of room and not crowded, as some of the boats
we saw were. It was also very convenient in that our hotel was right by
their dock so we could step off and go to the pool!

The Floridays is the staple excursion every time we go to Key West,
and this past trip was not any different. The crew is always fun and
energetic, and a major reason why we keep coming back. Unfortunately, we
had bad weather the first few days of our trip and the boat could not go
out. I called multiple times over a three day period and the captain was
very patient and upfront with me about the weather and sea conditions.
As we waited for a good opportunity to go snorkeling, the concierge at
our hotel tried several times to book us on a big catamaran. I
respectfully declined because the Floridays has a unique personality
that the giant catamarans do not have.
Finally, on our final day, the weather conditions allowed us a chance to
go to the reef. Knowing there had been a few days of bad weather, the
captain and crew fully informed us of what the conditions were going to
be for the day. As we made our way to the reef, the sea state was a
little lumpy, but super exciting! Visibility at the reef was not that
good, but we knew what to expect. Once we were back on the boat the
champagne began to flow…always the best part of the day!
Overall, it was another great day in Key West aboard the Floridays!
Thanks again and we will see you again in a few months!

I was in Key West and I wanted to find the best sailboat to watch the
famous Key West sunset. FLORIDAYS DELIVERED ON MY DREAM. I swear, the
boat is gorgeous (as well as the captain and the mates!) We didn't have
the perfect wind, but everything else was amazing. It was so much fun on
the Floridays that we decided to go snorkeling the next day with them!
Thanks Capt Alexis! And thanks for pointing out that sea turtle! We will
see you on our next trip.

The Floridays is a beautiful spacious and wonderfully enjoyable boat
to get out ont the reef for a snorkle trip or enjoy a beautiful sunset
cruise complete with champaigne or other drinks. I have taken the
Floridays on many occassions and have always enjoyed the boat and the
friendly, helpful and knowledgeable crew. Such an easy way to get off
the island for a short tiem to ejnoy the water and the sun.. just

Title of the review says it all - this was a terrific way to spend an
afternoon. Originally, we were booked with another outfit that cancelled
our trip last mintue due to engine failure. Floridays was more than
willing to have us aboard, and we were glad things worked out that way.
The sail out to the reef was terrific, and snorkeling was a blast.

Alexis was a terrific captain for our early morning run out to the
coral reef. There were only 5 of us on board and that made for a
terrific day. They lead us to some wonderful reef areas, well away from
the bigger catamarans with their 100 people expeditions.
Highly recommend these folks for a more intimate and exclusive outing.

“I would snorkel with Floridays again
any day!”
Reviewed
April 1, 2012
Thankfully the staff at our B&B recommended Floridays for our snorkel
trip. We are bout to book with another company until we heard about how
many people they pack on their boats.
When I contacted Floridays to make our reservations, I was told that
they tried to keep to just a few passengers on each trip, and they were
right! We only had 8 people total on our recent snorkeling trip. The
crew was knowledgeable, capable and extremely friendly. They welcomed us
on board and gave us everything we needed for our snorkeling trip to the
reef.
Unfortunately, the wind really picked up on our way out to the reef,
because the snorkeling was really tough in the large waves. If it had
been more calm, we would have had a perfect trip. Can't blame Floridays
for the weather, though! They were awesome and we'd book again with them
any time.
Forget the crowded party boats and book with Floridays. You won't be
disappointed.

We selected Floridays because they actually sailand we were not

captain was very skilled and her mate was amazingly strong when it came

My husband and I are locals and out of all the years being here,
we've never been aboard SV Floridays (tis a shame!).....until this past
Friday night when he surprised me with a date marking the anniversary of
when we first met 5 years ago! (Awwww, big points for him!) Floridays is
by far one of the best sailing charters I've been on here in the Keys
and I've been here since 2005. Captain Alexis and her first mate Yaya
were very skilled, knowledgeable and on-point making the entire crew
aboard feel at ease. Not only were the winds perfect to actually use the
main/jib, the sunset was beautiful. These, paired with the
professionalism and smiling faces of the Captain and First Mate, made it
a fantastic sunset cruise aboard Floridays. Thank you for making our
date night so special and wishing us Happy Anniversary! Can't wait to
make it out on the water again :)

The Floridays took us to the 3rd largest coral reef in the world and
though the conditions seemed choppy to us newcomers the crew did a good
job of explaining and preparing us to snorkel. We went on in the
afternoon with a total of 11 people and 3 crew members...much more
opportunity for individualized attention then on some of the larger
boats. The boat is beautiful, the staff was superb, and combined with
the beauty Key West has to offer we couldn't ask for much more!

Floridays sunset sail was the perfect way to start our vacation in
Key West! We had a relaxing, peaceful time enjoying the sunset while the
captain and first mate handled everything with ease and made us feel
free to enjoy the journey. It was my brother-in-law's 50th birthday and
the experience was something we will never forget. I am so happy we
chose Floridays. It truly was the best part of the vacation. If you're
looking for a great time, beautiful view of the sunset and a truly
special event for your vacation, I highly recommend Floridays to make
your trip of Key West complete.

“Safe, fun, a must-do”
Reviewed
March 8, 2012
We decided to check out Floridays because they take you out about 7
miles from the island to the reefs. Some snorkeling places on the island
only take you to the shore of the island. The reef is where it's at
because there are a ton more beautiful creatures to see. It was my first
time so I wanted it to be super special- and worth the price.
The boat itself was awesome, I felt like P.Diddy. The captain, Alexis,
explained everything clearly so I could understand it. I hung on her
every word because I didn't want to drown on vacation. She made me feel
comfortable and confident that wouldn't happen. The first mate, Hileah
(hope I spelled that right) also made me feel comfortable and attended
to pretty much everyone's every need. There was water, soda, and juice
available for the hour trip out to the reef.
The crew gave great instructions, so when I finally jumped in I felt
safe and confident. We had about an hour to explore the reef. It was
amazing! I saw a ton of awesome fish, even a barracuda! Before I knew
it, Alexis was blowing the air horn for us to swim back to the boat.
Although I felt like I could have been out exploring for hours, it was a
pretty physically demanding experience. My legs were a little sore
after! We spent the perfect amount of time in the water.
On the ride back we were offered beer and champagne. Awesome. I had a
glass of champagne while we cruised back to the Hyatt. I really was
P.Diddy.
Keep in mind it is important to TIP THE CREW before you hop off. Some of
the other people on the boat didn't do this and it was kind of a slap in
the face to our two crew members who really were working their butts off
to make sure we had fun.

Floridays is an amazing combination of serenity and adventure! We went out on a
snorkeling trip to the reef and saw incredible marine life. But more importantly, the crew
was patient with us for having never snorkeled, taught us what to do, and served us first
class customer service the whole time we were on the boat. The boat is clean, and sails
beautifully, and we were so pleased with our experience that we came back for a sunset
sail the next evening. The sunset was incredible, and once again, the crew worked hard to
give us the best sunset experience, complete with beer, wine, champagne, and sodas,
possible. This is a must-do in Key West!!!

My wife and I are experienced sailors and booked this boat knowing this size boat would
provide us a more intimate sail than some of the larger crowded tourist boats. We were
made to feel right at home by the captain and mate, who were fun, easy going and really
cared that everyone on board was enjoying themselves. I've never taken time to write a
review before but was overwhelmed by the crew and our experience with them. BTY they
steered us to Sandy's famous Cuban sandwiches which were also outrageously good. Seriously

My family just returned from a
wonderful vacation in Florida, which included a wonderful stay in Key West. We spent time
in Orlando at Disney and then made our way to South Florida, including Key West. Without a
doubt the most fun activity for all of us was our snorkeling excursion on "The
Floridays." (Even our children keep saying the snorkeling on the Floridays was the
most fun they had.) The sailboat was immaculate and the "captain" and
"first mate" were awesome. They shared incredible knowledge of the area and the
fish that we saw. The snorkeling was some of the best I have done anywhere in the world.
We have gone on snorkeling excursions in the past off of catamarans, but this sailboat
experience was second to none. We will definitely go out on the Floridays on our next trip
to Key West!!!
