Key West Christmas Day Brunch Sail aboard Schooner America 2.0

Do sails sell out frequently?

Parking in Key West is very limited, and operates on a first come, first serve basis. There is a local municipal parking lot at the corner of Caroline Street and Margaret Street, very close to the ticket booth where you check in. Further information will be provided upon purchasing your tickets.

Do i need a ticket for my young child?

All passengers, regardless of age, must have a ticket for capacity purposes. Please be sure to take this into account when purchasing tickets for your party. Children ages 3 and younger ride for free on all of our trips, but you’ll still need to enter the appropriate number of Infant tickets labeled “Free” when purchasing. Children over the age of 3 must purchase a full priced "Child" ticket.

What exactly do we see on the sail?

Our route is indicative of the breeze we are given, but we guarantee crystal clear blue-green seas and a water side view of Key West Harbor. Additional sites may include Fort Zachory Taylor State Park, Sand Key Reef, Mallory Square, Sunset Pier, marine wild life of many varieties, and fellow vessels within the Key West fleet. 

How about drinks? should i bring those?

Outside alcoholic beverages are not permitted. This ail features complimentary soft drinks, and water. Beer, wine, Champaign and mixed drinks are available for purchase.

Is the schooner america 2.0 safe?

Absolutely. While known for its speed, the Schooner America 2.0 is a safe and gentle vessel. Along with your captain, there is a minimum of two crew members on every sail to make sure you feel comfortable and at home on the water. We are stocked with water, beverages, blankets, pillows, and life jackets should you feel you need one. There are also private marine heads (bathrooms) in the salon below.

How steady is the sailing? am i likely to get seasick?

The Schooner America 2.0 is a steady, gentle vessel. It is very rare for our guests to become seasick. While most people do not experience any sea sickness on the schooner, you may want to consider light medication if you normally take it for motion sickness. We cannot officially advise you to take any medication, however.

Is there a bathroom on the boat?

Yes, the boat is equipped with two bathrooms that are accessible at all times. We call them "marine heads," and they are very simple to use. The Captain will explain directions for their use once you are on board the vessel.

What should i wear?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and footwear (high heels are not recommended). Feel free to come in light, casual clothing, but bring a light jacket just in case.

Where does the sail finish?

Our sails will end at the same dock from which they departed.

What happens if it starts raining when we're out on our sail?

Don't worry, we won't melt! Trips with a little added excitement due to weather have proven to be some the most memorable bonding experiences for our guests. (This all depends on attitude of course...) Our captains will never take the boat off the dock if they believe the weather conditions to be unsafe, however, and are constantly monitoring the weather once off the dock.

Is gratuity included in the price of the sail?

Gratuity is not included in the base ticket price. As always, cash tips are accepted at the end of the trip. Gratuities can be handled via Venmo as well. Thank you in advance for taking care of the crew!

Is the schooner wheelchair accessible?

No, unfortunately America 2.0 is not wheelchair-accessible.
