My husband and I were in Key West and sailed on Danger's Prize on 4/11/08. We did the Wind and Wine Sunset Cruise. This was absolutely the highlight of our 11 day trip. Captain Dennis along with Brian and Wendy made us feel relaxed and at home on the Prize. It was more like being at a marvalous party than a charter. The group was small enough to be intimate but certainly the tempo was fun and adventerous. The views of sunset were unbelievable and the wine and food fantastic. I even got to sail the boat a bit! I would only say that this is a must when you travel to Key West. We can't wait to go back and are already planning our next trip. This time it will include an entire day trip.

Their website and advertisement promises more than they deliver. My sister and I went on the half day excursion for $75 a person. If you are expecting a clean boat, small amount of people, great sailing experience, DO NOT GO. If you are expecting great snorkeling (great fish life, etc.) and watersports other than kayaking, DO NOT GO. This charter outfit is more 'homegrown and local' than 'experienced and professional', the opposite of what their website and advertisements suggests. The boat was not very clean, the sails were tattered, the fruit, chips, and salsa all came out of an Albertsons bag and hand cut for us by a not so clean looking crew member (1 of 4), definitely more 'local' than professional. I also learned, unfortunately not until later, that they take you to the 'backcountry'. This means you don't get to experience the living coral reef but muddy, sponges and dead mangroves by Mule Key. The beer and wine were kept flowing so the other tourists didn't seem to mind. But if you're just planning to get drunk and sail, you can do that in Key West for much, much cheaper than $75 a person! In fact, one sailing charter will take you out for $35!! Don't waste your money, book another charter.

Danger Charters is something I would recommend for anyone coming to Key West.
They offer ½ day, full day, and sunset sail experiences.
We took the full day and had a wonderful time.
There is nothing like SAILING to areas that the bigger charters cannot get to.
Our trip had 13 guests and 4 crew members, although I was told that the normal amount of guests is more like 18 to 22.
Snorkeling, swimming on a sand bar and kayaking into a mangrove forest on a deserted key. Lunch was deli type platters for build your own sandwiches, with all the sides. All types of sodas were available all day.
After snorkeling, beer and wine are available.

As we were returning to Key West I spotted some fins in the water, which were identified as dolphins (I am now the official Wisconsin Dolphin Spotter for Danger Charters). The captain turned the boat towards them, and they came to see us. Out of this world to see wild dolphins, literally 5 feet away from us as they swam under and around our ship for 15 minutes.

Best thing we did while in Key West. The crew was awesome, very friendly and interacted with the guests. They knew all about the wines we tasted (okay drank) and they were all great!

If you are going to Key West you should take the Wine & Wind Sunset sail!!
