Booze cruise that happens to have good food.
Really more of a booze cruise than a nice sunset dinner cruise. Maybe that’s what you’re looking for. The food was pretty good but drunk people spilling drinks all over you, themselves and others plus smoking pot on the forward deck. We won’t be back

Highly recommend!
This was the most fun we had on our entire vacation! The setting was perfect, the crew was amazing, the music was fun, and we danced and ate and drank and had an awesome time on the Party Cat!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that the Key West Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise was the most fun you had during your vacation. It’s great to know you enjoyed the beautiful sunset setting, the amazing crew, the live music, and the delicious buffet and open bar. Dancing, great food, and a sunset on the water truly make for a memorable evening in Key West. We’re especially happy you had such a great time aboard the Party Cat, and we hope to welcome you back again on your next visit!

Disappointing
96 guests. Boat was full! There are two dinner seatings, they were crowded and the second seating is right at sunset so you’re down in the dining area , not topside. Did I say crowded? It definitely was. If you like lots of ppl, decent food and don’t care about seeing the sunset….
Response from the operator: Our dinner cruises are very popular, especially during sunset hours, and they can feel lively when the boat is full. Many guests enjoy the vibrant atmosphere and the opportunity to dine while cruising, but we certainly understand that everyone experiences it differently. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food, and we appreciate you mentioning your observations about the seating times. Your feedback is valuable and helps future guests choose the experience that best fits what they’re looking for. Thank you again for joining us, and we truly hope to welcome you back on board in the future!

We truly enjoined our time on this dinner cruise. That staff were amazing which made the atmosphere extremely enjoyable. Cruising through the water was very peaceful and the sights of the sunset was beautiful. I highly recommend this experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the dinner cruise — sounds like such a lovely evening. 😊 Our team will be so happy to know they helped make the experience special for you. And we couldn’t agree more — there's nothing quite like a peaceful cruise with a beautiful sunset! We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back again soon!

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Key West Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise with Open Bar and Live Music: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Key West.
How much does Key West Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise with Open Bar and Live Music cost?
+
Prices start at $120 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 Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise with Open Bar and Live Music take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise with Open Bar and Live Music worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 5 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 Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise with Open Bar and Live Music?
+
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 Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise with Open Bar and Live Music suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Key West Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise with Open Bar and Live Music?
+
Around 2 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Key West Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise with Open Bar and Live Music 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 Shark and Wildlife Viewing Adventure in Key West, Southernmost Food & Cultural Walking Tour by Key West Food Tours, Half-Day Trip from Key West with Kayaking, Snorkeling & Sunset. 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.
