Family friendly
I booked this tour because I wanted a sunset cruise that wasn't a booze cruise. Very family friendly activity. Guides were knowledgeable about the marine life. They did have champagne to toast the sunset, but it was a great option for my friend and I who don't really drink.

Good family trip
Nice evening trip on a nice clean boat with nice crew. If you don’t want a boat trip with a noisy band and drunk people on board - this is the place!!’
Response from the operator: Thank you for the review, Sarah! The Glass Bottom Boat is a nice alternative to the typical party sunset cruise. Hopefully you saw some wildlife and learned a bit about our waters. You are welcome back anytime!

glass bottom fun
It was a clear, calm sea day. The ride out in air-conditioned boat was easy, and the glass bottom gave us lots of opportunity to see the coral reef and fishes swimming by. The narration was very informative and entertaining. The outside upper deck ride back during the sunset was spectacular!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the review, Sawn! Sounds like the perfect day aboard the Pride of Key West! We are so pleased you enjoyed not only the boat but also the narration. We hope you will join us again soon!

Sunset Cruise and Coral Reef
The best sunset cruise you can get in Key West FL and the champagne was a added bonus as well for the whole trip.

Key West Glass-Bottom Boat Tour with Sunset Option: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Key West.
How much does Key West Glass-Bottom Boat Tour with Sunset Option cost?
+
Prices start at $64 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Key West usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Key West Glass-Bottom Boat Tour with Sunset Option take?
+
Plan for about 1.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Key West is not rushed.
Is Key West Glass-Bottom Boat Tour with Sunset Option worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 617 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Key West, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Key West Glass-Bottom Boat Tour with Sunset Option?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Key West Glass-Bottom Boat Tour with Sunset Option suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Key West Glass-Bottom Boat Tour with Sunset Option?
+
Around 216 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Key West can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Key West and add a light layer if any part of the 1.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Key West Glass-Bottom Boat Tour with Sunset Option start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Key West within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Key West?
+
Key West is a boat town. The only living coral barrier reef in the continental US sits seven miles offshore, and reef trips, sunset catamarans and backcountry kayak runs are the core bookings, alongside Hemingway house and Duval history walks. Our ranking weighs boat capacity and reef site rotation, which separates the good operators from the party cruises. On Outty we rank every Key West experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Bike Tour of Old Town Key West, Half-Day Trip from Key West with Kayaking, Snorkeling & Sunset, Shark and Wildlife Viewing Adventure in Key West. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Key West?
+
December to April, dry season and calm reef water. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Key West?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
