About This Experience
Dip and Sip is Sunset Watersports’ afternoon reef trip, and the Viator title calls it an open bar. It runs on a 65-foot custom catamaran named Sandie Cat and leaves at 13:00.
You sail to the Key West living reef, where the listing says you can see coral and tropical fish. All snorkel equipment is supplied, and the crew will give instruction if you need help. The listing does not name the reef, and the stop depends on conditions on the day. After the swim there are fresh water showers.
The drinks come on the sail back: free beer, soft drinks and water on the big open decks. That is after snorkeling, not before. If you do not drink alcohol, soft drinks and water are still included.
It is rated suitable for all fitness levels and works for first-timers who want crew help. Gratuities are not included. The Viator schedule runs from 1 November 2026 to 28 August 2027, and cancellation is free per the listing.

Great afternoon on the water. My partner wanted to snorkel while in Key West and we both had an incredible time. The crew, Kristen, D Rock and Sydney were great. They stressed safety and encouraged having a memorable experience. We did. I thoroughly enjoyed their mimosas! Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.
