Amazing times - We were visiting Key west with a friend and we decided to book our tour on board of the When and If. We had great time. The tour was supposed to be a larger group, but for any reason there were no other visitors than the 3 of us. The staff decided to go just with the 3 of us. The time was just perfect, the wind was perfect for a day sailing, and we had a chance to help the crew lifting and putting down the sails. We enjoyed it very much. The staff were very friendly and accommodating with us. And enjoying a variety of drinks on board. I highly recommend this tour to anyone that is visiting Key West. Book your tickets in advance and be ready for a great time on board of the When and If sailboat. You would enjoy it very much.
