Description
The Wind & Wine Key West Sunset Sail has been honored with the #1 rating on Inside Key West for over a decade. Wind & Wine is an incomparable sunset experience amid the warm tropical Caribbean waters of the Florida Keys.
Rated a Top Sunset Cruise in North America by Coastal Living Magazine, the Wind and Wine Sunset Cruise is unparalleled for folks who want an upscale, yet relaxed and intimate, sunset sail. Wine drinkers love this cruise, since it is virtually the only sailing excursion in the US that serves “real” wine.
Sailing nightly, the crew announces and generously pours eight wines: four red, three white, and a Champenoise. You can enjoy everything in a structured "wine tasting" format or stick with one that just "hits the spot." Five different imported and domestic beers, as well as cans of soft drinks and bottled water, are also served.
Charcuterie boards are served throughout the evening and include a rolling selection of meats, cheeses, crackers, fruit, crudités, and chocolate. Choices include Havarti dill, smoked Gouda and summer sausage, caprese skewers, water crackers with Brie, green apple with a honey drizzle, to name a few.
If you have any specific dietary restrictions or follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, please inform us by mentioning it in the "booking notes" section when making your reservation. The crew will do their best to provide suitable alternatives whenever possible. Guests are also welcome to bring their own food aboard.
