FAQs
FAQ
Do sails sell out frequently?
Sails do sell out. Potential guests are encouraged to check the website or call the week of the date you would like to attend to check availability for public trips and to book as early as possible.
What happens if the sail is sold out?
Unfortunately, we do not have a wait-list for our sails, so please book in advance.
Is there parking, where? And how much is it?
Parking in Key West is very limited. There are several local municipal parking lots in the area. Further information will be provided upon purchasing your tickets.
What exactly do we see on the sail?
Our sailing route is dependent on the wind, and at the discretion of the captain, but we guarantee crystal green seas and a waterfront view of downtown Key West. Additional sites include Sand Key Reef, Mallory Square, Sunset Pier, marine wild life, and fellow schooners within the Key West fleet. We may also be lucky enough to catch the magnificent "Green Flash" (just as the sun is about to disappear from the horizon, it changes for a moment to a bright green color).
Are there any age restrictions for the Valentine's Day Sail?
This event is General Admission. There are no tickets for purchase at our reduced "children's rate."
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, 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 easy to use! The Captain will give directions on their use once you are on board.
Can I stow anything (e.g., my luggage) during the sail?
There is an area below deck where you may store your belongings. Please keep in mind that this area is not guarded, so we cannot take responsibility for any broken, lost or missing items.
What should I wear?
For all of our sails, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing and footwear (high heels are not recommended). Bring a light jacket just in case! And don't forget your sunscreen and sunglasses!
Where does the sail finish?
Our sails start and end at Schooner Wharf in the Historic Key West Bight.
Can I get a refund or reschedule my tickets after buying them?
Tickets may be rescheduled or refunded up to 24 hours in advance of the departure date. You may also add Trip Cancellation Protection during the booking process which allows you to reschedule or refund your tickets up to 1 hour in advance of your departure for an added non-refundable fee. No-shows will be charged in full.
Do you ever cancel sails due to bad weather?
The sail usually runs in light rain and other moderate weather situations. The only time we cancel a trip is in the event of severe or unsafe weather conditions. Our captains monitor the radar to watch fronts and cells in the area on days when inclement weather is possible. Cancellations are made on the day of the sail, by the Captain, up to 1 hour prior to sail time. If you have purchased tickets for a sail that is canceled, you will have the opportunity to reschedule your tickets (subject to availability), take a full refund or receive credit towards a future event.
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.

Gratuity is not included in the price of the sail. It is customary to show your crew appreciation for their hard work with cash tips following the trip. If you prefer, you may also add a gratuity during the booking process.
