Schooner Jolly II Rover

The Schooner Jolly II Rover, located at 631 Greene St, Key West, FL 33040, USA, is not just a place for boat trips, but a truly special experience that captures the heart of every traveler. This traditional schooner, with its distinctive red sails, offers unique sailing adventures that take you back in time while showcasing the beautiful coastal landscape of Key West.

An Authentic Sailing Experience

At 80 feet long and featuring the only square rig in Key West, the Jolly II Rover brings its guests back to a time when pirates and traders navigated the waters of the Caribbean. This authenticity is reflected in the tours offered, particularly the famous “Red Sails in the Sunset” tour. During this two-hour sailing trip, participants can experience the stunning spectacle of the sunset over the ocean while gliding past the most photographed ship in Key West.

Sightings and Activities

During the tours, guests have the opportunity to actively participate by raising the sails, taking the helm, or even firing the impressive cannons. The crew is friendly and always ready to provide passengers with information about the history and surroundings of the Florida Keys. Not to be forgotten are the appreciated delicacies provided, such as snacks and cold drinks, to keep participants refreshed. There is also a chance to possibly encounter playful dolphins that occasionally accompany the boat.

Customer Reviews

Feedback from visitors is overwhelmingly positive. Many report unforgettable experiences supported by the professional and warm crew.

Many say that the view and atmosphere during the trip are unique.

Costs and Booking Information

The prices for the different sailing adventures are quite fair compared to the multitude of activities in Key West. To secure the best spots on the ship, it is recommended to book in advance.
