The boat left a little late and arrived a little early, but that wasn't a big deal. The cruise itself was lovely, the staff good, but the music (Scooby Drew) was awful. Made the vibe feel like a funeral instead of a party.

This place asks you to arrive 45 minutes early and wait around to see if other people show up for the same tour. They don't know how many people they're expecting. Finally, we depart, and it was on time. We went parasailing on a cold, windy day. The two guys who took us were nice, and the ride was fun. We appreciated that, but the experience itself wasn't what we wanted. It was the memory and the photos of it that we wanted, and they weren't included. We wanted two or three photos taken of the experience. It would have been so simple. Instead, they only use their own Nikon cameras, which don't transfer easily to Google or Android phones. They weren't taken by a professional photographer, just the skipper on the boat, who didn't seem to have any professional photographer experience. The colors were off, and most of my face or my friend's face weren't even clear in the photos. They charge $60 for over 100 mediocre photos. Look at these photos; why would I want these? There were only three photos I actually wanted, and the rest were clearly... well these lol. I was so dissatisfied with this experience that I hate companies that don't include taking a photo of you as a kind gesture. Be better. And then they still want you to tip them on top of all this awkwardness. Does that sound like a fun vacation?

We were fortunate enough to receive a discounted rate on our package, as our friend who was on vacation with us is a retired Navy veteran. My wife purchased the full package which included all of the amenities on the transport boat (food, drinks), parasailing, jet skis, obstacle course, banana boat rides, kayaking, snorkeling, and paddle boarding. We were unable to book our slot during the weekend, but were able to secure Memorial Day, which we thought would be a slow day for an excursion but boy were we wrong. We were one of the first to arrive in the morning to sign in and fill out all the paperwork and shortly after droves of people starting coming in. The boat was at max capacity and unfortunately it kind of screwed up what could have been a perfect day. Fortunately, we were the first group called for parasailing and right after we finished parasailing, they called us to meet with a second captain to take us jet skiing. I've never been parasailing before and have always been scared to try it. I don't like heights and have a fear of drowning; I had no fear at all during the entire process and I had a total blast. The jet ski situation was pretty much a waste. When we arrived to the dock the dockmaster was pissed off and had an attitude because the groups that were supposed to be docked were still out screwing around which took time off our ride. You literally only get 10-minutes and since my wife and I were together we had to share a jet ski. There is no way to know when your supposed to return to the dock until the dockmaster waves you in. We basically ended up swapping drivers after a few minutes so we both would have an opportunity to drive. Once we were back to the main ship it was time for lunch. The food was actually better than I expected. Pulled pork, large all beef hotdogs, salad, chicken nuggets, fresh green beans, and several other options I can't remember at the moment, but I remember that it was all pretty good and I ate my fill. After lunch we spent the remainder of our time out in the water having fun. The obstacle area had a huge inflated trampoline and rock-climbing area. The kayaking was limited to the areas around the ship but you could go out to a section further away from the group to snorkel near the coral reef. The banana boat ride was a lot of fun too but be warned if you're on there with a group that wants to go fast you are along for the ride. Something to note is that you cannot enter the water once you start drinking and there were two options of draft beer available that is included with the package. They have plenty of other drink options but you pay extra for them. The staff were very friendly and the ship was kept clean. Overall, we had a blast and I would do this again. Knowing what I know now, I will call ahead of booking our excursion to verify occupancy.

They took and gave us priceless pictures we will cherish forever!

What a wonderful experience! It was beyond our expectation! Joey and Logan we're so wonderful and made us feel so relaxed. None of us had ever parasailled before. We made memories we will never forget!

I was looking for an experience that wasn't your typical beach day, and to get out on the water for more than 4 hours, and after lots of looking and searching, came upon Sunset for a 5 hour sandbar and dolphin excursion with snorkeling included! When we arrived, check-in was super easy, and it was out in an area that you can walk around, get food/drinks, or shop while you wait to get on the boat. Everything was included for us in this venture. The captain, Dave and Nick took great care of us from the moment we took way! From the instructional safety recap in the beginning, to the opening of the bar, and them keep us full from the sandos, chicken strips, fruit and hummus, we had everything we needed for our adventure! While on the way to our dolphin seeing adventure, we jammed out with great tunes that anyone could jam out to. Again, Nick and Dave were on it with the customer service. Always lending a hand, asking if we needed anything and just being their amazing selves! As we got to the sandbar, we all jumped ship, literally!!! And got to spend just over 2.5 hours out on the sandbar! If it hadn't been for a storm coming our way, we may have gotten just a little more time out there, but Captain made sure we had a wonderful boat ride back, got to see even more dolphins! It was such a great trip, and even the other passengers on board, we had such a great group, everyone was super nice and interactive. It made for one of the best days we've ever had! Will certainly be using you all in the future!

My hubby and I did the 90 min guided jet ski tour. Ben and his crew were awesome!! They made sure we were safe and had fun!! I had some reservations about being able to let loose and speed around on a guided tour. This was not the case tho, once they make sure you knew how to drive you're able to zoom around full force. They also made sure that we had plenty of photo ops. Great Experience, great tour! Would do this tour again in a heartbeat!! Thanks Sunset Watersports!!

I loved the experience here. Really friendly crew who took care of us really well and followed a lot of safety procedures. Snorkeled at 2 different places and then had some beer and champagne enjoying the sunset on the way home. The water was not as clear as I expected probably due to the storm that happened a few days before. There was a mix of people on the board, including young folks and families with kids. Got to talk with really nice four guys from France who were attending FIT. Truly enjoyable I would do this again.

Best reef tour. And we out ran a kraken to safely get home. 100% recommend!!!!! Great crew! Great music and fun for the family !!!

Great Crew. Great cruise. The reef was amazing. Definitely recommend the adventure

Logan, Kelsey, and Claire took us on the sunset snorkeling. It was so beautiful, saw so many different species of fish and even a couple nurse shark! They were very engaging and laid back, felt like your friends were taking you out. Told us everything safety wise and we had some non swimmers to very experienced. Great crew!

See all

My fiancé and I booked online with Lost Reef Adventures for our first ocean dives. We were…read morecertified back in October in a fresh water quarry. The day we went, the waves were pretty choppy. I got in the water and panicked. Kelly, our guide, expertly made sure I got back to the boat. Spencer, our dive master, helped me up and reassured me the whole time. I got to spend the next couple hours hanging out with Spencer and robin (the captain), which honestly, was a great time. What I loved is how committed they were to safety, and also making me feel valid in my decision to abort the dives. My partner successfully completed two dives and had a fantastic experience with Kelly guiding him. If/when we're back in key west again for diving, we will definitely book with Lost Reef again!!

Lost Reef Adventures...the worst dive shop that I have encountered in 30 years of scuba diving…read more The negatives: The owner, Nick, was extremely unfriendly to the point of being hostile. He had a serious attitude problem and had no idea what the concept of "customer service" meant. He just stares at you, waiting for you to say something...it's really creepy. After telling us to show up at 7:00 for the morning dives, no one from the shop bothered to show up until 7:45. The crew was only okay. The dive master acted like this was an annoyance to be taking us out on a dive...like he just wanted to get this over and done with. He just swam around for 45 minutes until it was time to re-board. The boat pilot told us, "We're not leaving the dock until you get your gear ready." There was one guy (with a mullet and ear rings) that was pretty cool and very helpful. The equipment was fair, but had some issues. The first tank that I hooked up to only had 1200 psi, turns out that 1/4 of the tanks onboard had previously been used and not removed or refilled. The fact that they all had the rubber covers on the valve (indicating a fresh tank) made it very confusing as to which tank to use. My dive buddy's regulator was inoperable. The dives were fair at best. I guess Key West really isn't that great for sea life when compared to the USVI or Belize, buy the dive master didn't even bother to point out sea life. EVERY dive I've been on in 30 years had a dive master that took pride in his/her job and did their best to point out - things to see - during the dive. I told the travel office on the base at Sigsbee not to recommend them. There are vastly superior shops like Southpoint Divers and Captain's Corner that will give you a much more pleasant experience. I dove with Southpoint on all of my subsequent dives in Key West. The positives: The boat was great - lotsa space for everyone, safety equipment was plentiful, and the safety briefing was well done. As I mentioned before, one of the crew (lives in Roatan, Honduras and was visiting his daughter) was very helpful but unfortunately, he was the exception. The BCDs, masks, and fins were fine. There's not really anything else positive that came out of my experiences. Do yourself a favor and use one of the other dive shops in Key West.
