Outstanding boat ride; Sunset!
Patrick_K, Aug 2023
Capt. Donnie was great! Professional, polite, and great at giving tidbits of information as we cruised along. Without trying, he was able to add some "special guests" to our cruise.... dolphins. Yep, we had a few unexpected visitors while we were out there, and it was AMAZING seeing these animals up close. The sunset was awesome, even if the low clouds kept us from seeing the "sizzle", it was so worth the ride. **Remember folks, Capt. Donnie doesn't control the cloud cover** We appreciated him, and his time taking us out...we recommend doing this for everyone!
Sunset Cruise & Romance!
James_H, Aug 2023
It was a beautiful evening for the cruise… the edge had come off of the heat. Captain Donnie was waiting and ready at the boat when we arrived at the slip. The cruise was comfortable and romantic… we had a special evening.
Friends sunset cruise

We were in Key West celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. The sunset cruise was the highlight of our week. It was perfect. The communication, professionalism & knowledge was top notch. Captain Donnie was amazing! He made the cruise exactly what we were looking for. Thank you!

Jessica_S, May 2023
Captain Donnie was great! Knew the area well. Showed us all around the island and the hot spots to hit. He was a Great conversationalist. But also knew when to respect a romantic moment. Excellent boat driver. We spotted some dolphins near by and he took a mini detour to go see them! Perfect evening! HIGHLY recommend.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
We're so glad you had an amazing time. The dolphins are always fun to see out on the water. Please come see us again next time you're in The Keys!
A romantic cruise around the Island and intonthe sunset
Jan_K, Aug 2022
i took my significant other for a private, romantic cruise into the sunset and we had a wonderful time on this two hour ride around Key West. Our Skipper was very knowledgeable and kind, he provided interesting insights at just the right moments without being intrusive. It was a truly romantic and memorable experience that ended with a spectacular sunset.

Fun ride! Our guide was knowledgeable and did a great job navigating around the island and a storm. Great way to experience a Key West sunset.
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Thank you so much! We are so glad you had a great time and managed to stay dry. Summer rain showers are common but we do try to get around them. Hope to see you next time, Cheers!
Great private experience
Helena_G, May 2022
The captain was very friendly and professional. Great tour if you want to explore the island from the water and avoid the crowded tours.
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Thank you, Helena! We love the wind open spaces as much as you do! Thanks for choosing us for your trip on the water. Come see us next time you're in town.
No show.
John_F, Feb 2022
Booked the cruise same day. Sent several emails to confirm. Showed up at appointed time and place and no one was there. Called number listed on reservation but just got voice mail. Waited over 15 minutes. No one showed. No one ever called me. Please refund all of my money.
Response from Host, Feb 2022
Hello John, Your refund was processed the same day. We tried to reach you to let you know that the winds were too high for us to be able to take you out for sunset. Unfortunately, the phone number associated with your reservation was incorrect.
Serene Cruise, Beautiful Sunset!
Cynthia_S, Dec 2021
We wanted to avoid the drinking cruises and have a quiet experience. That’s exactly what we got on this wonderful cruise. Thank you, Captain Donnie!

Terrible Tour worse guide
Laura_M, Oct 2021
We were 3 couples traveling together for a sunset cruise. We booked the cruise more than a month ahead. When we showed up the boat that was at the doc was a dingy for a real ship. Within the advertisement refreshments were provided. What was provided was leftovers from a different trip. The person running the boat was no captain. He was an jerk with an attitude. I ended up going to a store to buy our own soft drinks. I wanted a refund then and there but a few others in my party wanted to go out anyway. Brochures of Key West had more information than the poorly informed guy steering the boat. Don’t waste your money on this business. Otherwise you’ll have a story like us.
Response from Host, Oct 2021
Our Captain reported that you boarded the boat, opened the cooler and immediately began berating him about ginger ale. The cooler was stocked with Coke, Diet Coke, Bottled water and ginger ale. The cooler was stocked prior to your arrival for your trip. Once you began yelling because you wanted more ginger ale than we provided, the Captain informed you that he would not leave the dock if you continued yelling and speaking to him in that way. He was concerned for his safety and the safety of the other guests. He offered you and your friends a full refund. You decided to walk down to the end of the dock to purchase additional ginger ale. While you were gone the others in your party apologized profusely to the Captain for your intimidating and scary outburst. When you returned from the end of the dock, your trip departed and your trip continued as originally planned. We don't usually have a large demand for ginger ale, especially for a 2 hour sunset cruise. I would suggest that you contact future businesses in advance if you require a certain item. We would have been happy to provide additional beverages if you had requested them in advance. As far as your behavior, it was unacceptable to the Captain and inappropriate in general. We will continue to care for our guests and offer them a safe and fun adventure in Key West.
Can't wait til next time

Danny was amazing!!! We had a very relaxing and enjoyable cruise and regardless of the sunset the colors were still breathtaking. I would highly recommend blu chi charters to anyone that isn’t satisfied with just any old experience. Get one with personality and class. Go with blu chi
