Overview

Departing from Key West’s Historic Seaport, the Appledore Star’s sails are raised for an authentic sail experience on the way to Key West’s backcountry. Your day is spent exploring Key West’s uninhabited mangrove islands in the Key West National Wildlife Refuge. Keep an eye out for dolphins, sea turtles, manta rays and many other wildlife that call the Refuge home. Your captain knows where dolphins are frequently seen and will let you know if he spots any. Upon reaching the mangrove islands, the schooner anchors and your exploration begins. Your day is divided between guided kayaking tours and guided snorkeling tours. The warm, shallow water is calm, sheltered by the uninhabited mangroves, making kayaking a breeze. After your tours, come back aboard and wash off with our fresh water rinse, and relax on deck. Choose from plenty of complimentary cold drinks – frosty cold beer, wine, homemade sangria, chilled sodas and filtered water. This is the best of laid-back island living.

A great time!

Captain Joe & Michael were amazing! We had so much fun & would definitely recommend to anyone! There was snorkeling, kayaking, sailing, drinks & food! Everything you could possibly want or need!

A great boat excursion!

The reef was a shallow enough to be an excellent snorkeling reef. The kayaking was off the beaten path and very enjoyable. The food served was very good. We actually had enough wind to sail. It was a fine day. I only have one issue. The ladder to get back on the boat was not user-friendly. It should have at least one rung extending down into the water. This seems like such a simple fix, even if it is just a rope ladder extending into the water. Otherwise - a fabulous day!

Good time!

Josh and Renee were great! Lunch was tasty! The water was cold but it was still fun and the kayaking was cool. It was the perfect day!
