Best. Reception. Ever.

If I could give Sunset Watersports more than five stars, I absolutely would!

Our wedding reception aboard the catamaran was truly one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. From the planning process all the way through the final dance, everything was handled with professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care.

A special thank you to Chris, who was incredible throughout the entire process. Since we live in the Atlanta area, planning a destination wedding reception from hundreds of miles away could have been stressful, but Chris made it so easy. He was always responsive, patient, and willing to answer my many questions. Every time I reached out, he put my mind at ease and made me feel confident that everything would come together perfectly.

On the day of the reception, Chris continued to be amazing. He helped keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes so that my husband and I could simply relax and enjoy the evening with our guests. Knowing he was there managing details and keeping things on track allowed us to be fully present and soak in every moment.

The crew on the boat was absolutely fantastic. They were friendly, fun, energetic, and genuinely seemed excited to celebrate alongside us. Their positive attitudes helped create such an incredible atmosphere from the moment our guests stepped aboard.

The DJ was outstanding and deserves special recognition. He somehow managed to keep the dance floor packed all night long and perfectly read the crowd. The music was fantastic, and our guests were dancing, laughing, and having the time of their lives.

As if the evening wasn't already magical enough, our captain even slowed down so everyone could enjoy an unexpected dolphin show! It was such a special moment and one that our guests are still talking about. The sunset that evening was absolutely spectacular and provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration.

Our guests continue to tell us that it was one of the most fun wedding receptions they have ever attended. Between the beautiful catamaran, amazing crew, great food and drinks, packed dance floor, dolphin sightings, and breathtaking Key West sunset, the entire experience exceeded every expectation we had.

I cannot recommend Sunset Watersports highly enough. They helped create memories that my husband and I—and all of our guests—will cherish forever. If you are considering a wedding or special event in Key West, look no further. Sunset Watersports is simply the best!

Welcome party of our lives

We would recommend sunset watersports to anyone considering hosting a group. We booked a private charter for our wedding welcome party and it was one of the highlights of our weekend. From a clean and beautiful boat, to the amazing steel drum player, and amazing bartending service, we thank you for going above and beyond to accommodate our guests and set the tone for our weekend. Working with Chris and was seamless. Thank you!!!

Vow renewal done easy!

My husband and I did a little courthouse ceremony when we were 21 and 22. It was where we were in our lives at the time, but we've always regretted not doing the reception to celebrate with friends and family. We were looking for something with as many options included as possible since we knew we didn't want to do it in our little hometown in FL. I googled Key West weddings on a whim and I'm so glad I did! Working with Marisa was a breeeeeeze! We get a DJ, open well bar, and tropical buffet INCLUDED! Oh, and did I mention it was on a catamaran?! We are SO excited for this night and it's still two years away! Thank you for helping us plan the vow renewal and reception of our dreams!

Amazing Experience

Great vendor to work with and excellent response time. I have been working with Marisa from afar for my destination wedding in key West and she has been so helpful and professional during my wedding planning process. She gives honest answers and she is even super helpful with things outside of her job description. I highly recommend Marisa, Sunset Watersports, and Weddings on the Water to fulfill all of your wedding dreams.

Perfect wedding !

My friends got married on Smather's beach and had their reception on the boat Party Cat. The ceremony itself was beautiful and ocean views were breathtaking. The reception was a smash! The catamaran boat made the perfect venue with air conditioned, enclosed interior cabin and spacious sundeck and dance floor up top. Friendly crew, delicious food, and tasteful decorating; no detail was overlooked. Sunset watersports did such a great job, the bride herself told me that she was so relieved and pleased that she didnt have to stress because every detail was taken care of. Thank you sunset watersports and to our awesome crew !

Ultimate Beach Wedding in Key West

We chose Sunset Watersports and weddingsonthewaterkeywest.com as our vendor for our wedding on Smather's Beach in Key West. We researched many other vendors in Key West that also had beach wedding packages. We decided on the Ultimate Beach Package. The reasons we chose them is many, responseiveness to our emails and calls, willingness to work with us to customize our package, professionalism and price. I was worried about not seeing the location before our wedding day but we were so thrilled with how everything turned out.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
