The Schooner Western Union offers a majestic Sunset Sail allowing guests to enjoy this glorious event on board Key West's most historic ship. Folks from every corner of the earth flock each day to watch, in wonder, as the sun makes its dramatic departure into the horizon. There's nothing in the world like sailing into a Key West sunset.
Taste the authentic flavor of the island with complimentary fresh
conch chowder. Unwind with a cool beverage as the
schooner's award-winning crew transports you to the ideal spot to see
the sunset. Soft waves lap against the ship, while the fiery sun
slowly disappears from view and takes your breath away.
Hear the stories and adventures of the wreckers, pirates, and the
first settlers of the area as you sail under the power of the Gulf
Stream winds. If you are the kind of person that likes to do more than
watch, the crew invites you to lend a hand! There's a lot to do aboard
a large sailing ship, and able hands are needed to raise the sails,
heave lines and take the helm.
Sailors like their grog, so in keeping with maritime tradition,
complimentary beer, wine and soda is served. Music on board
is a seafaring tradition, so there's a musician wandering the deck
playing old sea shanties.
From the moment you step aboard you'll know there's no other sailing
vessel in the world like the Schooner Western Union. As the last tall
ship built in Key West, she marks the end of the era of working
coastal schooners. A voyage on the Schooner Western Union is a unique
opportunity to sail into history.
Built in Key West in 1939, she is one of the oldest working wooden
schooners in the United States. Constructed to tend the Western Union
cable lines, today she offers a mix of romance, fun, and excitement
that could only be offered by The Premier Sailing Vessel of the
Florida Keys.
Come aboard! Make your reservations, buy your eTickets and get
ready to be amazed on the Key West Sunset Sail on the Schooner Western
Union. This isn't just a sail, it's the experience of a lifetime!
