KEY WEST EVENTS FIELD GUIDE
Champagne at Dusk: An Adults‑Only Sail Into Key West’s Open‑Water Sunset
A two‑hour, adults‑only Key West sunset sail departing from the Historic Seaport, with curated cheeses, local smoked fish dip and refreshments aboard — plus an optional Moët & Chandon Champagne upgrade.
Champagne at Dusk: An Adults‑Only Sail Into Key West’s Open‑Water Sunset.
There are few small‑boat rituals as elemental as a Key West sunset: the slow tilt of light across the Gulf, a soft breeze over the decks and the hush that falls as the sun slides to the horizon. On the Sunset & Moët Sail (Adults only) aboard Catamaran Echo, that moment is the reason for the evening — a relaxed two‑hour sail designed around the view, with thoughtful onboard fare and the option to add Champagne for a celebratory lift.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Open‑water views over the Gulf of Mexico
The cruise is built around watching the Key West sunset over the open waters of the Gulf — an hourlong stretch of light and color best enjoyed from the catamaran’s deck as the boat sails at dusk.
Curated cheeses, local smoked fish dip and fresh bread
A gourmet selection accompanies the sail: four rich cheeses matched with fresh fruits and berries, locally made smoked fish dip, crisps and crusty bread from a Key West bakery, served alongside included refreshments.
Moët & Chandon Champagne upgrade available
Passengers can upgrade to bottles of Moët & Chandon (including Impérial and Rosé Impérial) at current wholesale pricing; upgrades should be ordered at least 24 hours in advance or can be arranged at check‑in, with unpaid upgrades charged at check‑in.
What the day feels like
What the experience feels like
The outing is an unhurried, adults‑only evening sail: board at the harbor, settle into the catamaran’s deck seating as the boat cruises the Gulf, sample the onboard fare, and watch the sunset while seated or barefoot on a boat designed for that ease. The operator outfits the excursion to highlight the light and the sea rather than heavy activity — it’s a social, sensory evening on the water.
