Why juggle five vendors when one local expert can do it all? For over 40 years, Sunset Watersports has been the heartbeat of Key West events. We are the Florida Keys only true one-stop shop, offering pristine beach wedding locations, our elite fleet of 5 luxury catamarans can host your perfect wedding, reception, welcome party and more! All including unlimited open bar & delicious food prepared by our in-house executive chef. From the first "Welcome!" to the final dance under the sunset, we provide the most memorable and affordable celebrations in the Florida Keys. Our Four Signature Experiences: Pristine Beach Weddings: Say your vows on the sand with the turquoise Atlantic as your backdrop. Luxury Catamaran Weddings: Take your ceremony to the water. Exchange vows on the deck of a spacious catamaran as you sail into a world-famous Key West sunset. We have 5 to choose from. High-Energy Catamaran Receptions: Transition from the beach to the sea. Our boats feature air-conditioned cabins, dance floors, open bar and live music to host the party of a lifetime for up to 149 guests. Iconic Welcome Parties: Kick off your wedding weekend or corporate retreat with a private sunset cruise. It’s the ultimate "ice-breaker" featuring open bars, food and live music. The "In-House" Advantage (Better Quality, Lower Price) We don't outsource your special day. Because we employ our own staff, we eliminate the "middleman" markups of wedding planners and outside vendors. Executive Chef & Catering: Custom menus designed and prepared by our own culinary team. In-House Photographers: Professionals who know the exact angles and lighting of our venues. Expert Bartenders: Serving up premium open bars and island cocktails. Full Event Production: We offer the flowers, décor, music and transportation. Local Roots. Proven Excellence. As a locally owned and operated company with four decades of experience, we take your event personally. We offer all-inclusive, transparent pricing with no hidden fees. You get the best value in Key West because you are booking directly with the source.

Sunset Watersports coordinated both my wedding ceremony and reception. We did a ceremony on the beach and then had a private sunset dinner cruise for our reception! Everyone had an...

amazing time. Chris Anderson was amazing and wonderful to work with. He handled literally everything ceremony and reception wise and helped coordinate extra things that we had going on throughout the day. I wanted a relaxed destination wedding, but I didn’t want to do any of the work to make it happen, and that’s exactly what I got by going through Sunset Watersports. The food on the dinner cruise was also amazing, all of our guests really enjoyed it. And then staff on the boat are top notch as well. We had such an amazing wedding day, with pretty much no stress because Chris and his team took care of absolutely everything. I highly recommend!

We had a Welcome Party the night before our wedding on the Miss Lora boat with Sunset Watersports. All of our guests raved about the sunset boat cruise. The staff on the boat were ...

amazing too! Only recommendation I would make to Sunset would be adding electronic waivers, as guests had to wait in a long line to sign the waiver before boarding. I absolutely recommend adding a boat cruise to your Wedding Weekend itinerary!

Vow renewal and first time reception does 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!

edding planning process. Honest answers and super helpful with things even outside of her job description. I would highly recommend Marisa, Sunset Watersports, and Weddings on the Water to anyone.

We did a sunset cruise on the Party Cat as a welcome party for our wedding guests. It was absolutely the perfect way to start our wedding weekend. The crew was friendly and very kn...

owledgeable. The beer, wine, champagne & other cocktails flowed freely and the dinner was delicious as well. The DJ played the songs from the list we provided and we danced the whole time. Beautiful views of the sunset and the harbor were enjoyed by all. We would highly recommend weddingsonthewaterkeywest.com and Sunset Watersports for your welcome party or wedding reception.

s beautiful for our special day! Rich was great at returning emails and very helpful! When I needed more flowers for my wedding day the company they went through, Gourmet Nibbles and Baskets, came through as well! Ana our officiant was very friendly and helpful as well, she got in touch with of the week before the wedding and filled us in with everything we needed to know. The boat crew were amazing, very friendly! This is definitely the way to go for a fun unique Key West wedding, especially if you want some great sunset photos!

Sunset Watersports/Weddings on the Water was the venue for our wedding and reception on August 24th, 2017. The Sandie Cat was the perfect venue, the crew was incredible and the fo...

od was excellent. Weddings on the Water can put together a stress free wedding and package price it; all you have to do is show up! My flowers were gorgeous too! Our guests had so much fun and dolphins even came to visit prior to the ceremony. DJ was fun and even played the steel drums during the ceremony, which was a surprise added bonus to our wedding celebration. I highly recommend Sunset Watersports for weddings.

It was an amazing night and an all around great experience for our guests. We chose to rent the private boat for a sunset cruise. The boat entertained 60 of our closet friends and ...

Sunset Watersports Party Cat is the perfect venue if you are looking for a unique wedding location in Key West! We had a 3 hour dinner cruise and our ceremony on the boat. The spac...

e was amazing, very well kept. The owner, Rich, is an incredibly nice guy. He answered my many questions, emails and phone calls in a timely fashion and assured me my wedding would be beautiful. We didn't see our venue until the day of the wedding and it was even better than I thought it would be! Everything is up to date, the dining area is very elegant. We had our dancing and ceremony on their party deck, which, of course, was perfect as well! It provided great views of sunset and a beautiful backdrop to our wedding. The staff was very in tune to our groups needs. All of the people working that night were so friendly and such a great time! The price is a great value as well! The total includes the rental of the boat for a private cruise, dinner, open bar, and dj services! Our total was just over 7k for up to 80 people. I highly recommend!!
