Picture yourself swimming in warm tropical seas surrounded by colorful fishes on the only living coral barrier reef in North America. Seven miles off Key West’s coast lies the Florida Keys Reef, in shallow Caribbean waters perfect for easy snorkeling. Sebago limits the number of passengers to give you plenty of room in the sun or shade. On reaching open water and conditions permitting, the crew unfurls the sails for an authentic Key West sailing experience - no motors needed! Our experienced captains select the reef snorkel location based on that day's water and wind variables for the best snorkeling in Key West. As Marquesa approaches the reef, your experienced crew provides a professional safety and instruction snorkeling course and talks about the reef's marine wildlife. Don't worry if you are new to snorkeling, the crew answers all your questions. All equipment is included with the tour - sanitized snorkel, mask, fins and buoyancy vest. In no time at all, you will be immersed in the colorful world under the calm Caribbean waters. See how many species of fish, coral and marine wildlife you can find. Ask the crew about what you saw; there is also a fish identification card on the ship. Come back aboard effortlessly on the Stairway to the Sea. Rinse off the salt water with our fresh water rinse. Grab a drink, they are free! Choose from icy cold beer, wine, soft drinks and filtered water. If you prefer cocktails, there is a cash bar. Lay out on the sun deck or cool off in the shade as the Marquesa sails back to Key West. Feel the breeze ruffle your hair, watch for dolphins playing in the ship's wake or frigates flying high overhead. Anything is possible in Key West!
