We waited until last minute to book this as we weren’t sure. So glad we did!!! We had a request of sandbar & sunset and the owner allowed us to add 1 hr 15 minutes prior to sunset to give us and our kiddos enough time to enjoy the sandbar and then watch the sunset. We had captain drew, 10/10 he was awesome funny and felt like one of the guys. Our husbands enjoyed hanging with him! We were able to witness the beautiful sunsets and fun things underwater as well. Highly recommend. We were a group of 7 1/2. 4 adults 3 kids 6,6,3 and a baby 1.

Used Four Keys Charter for a bachelorette party sunset cruise and had the absolute BEST time!! Champagne and charcuterie was a lovely touch and Captain Jim really brought the energy/good vibes by playing the jams we needed on aux and helping be an extra hand for photo ops. Would 100% book with this team again, cannot recommend them enough!

Four Keys Charter has been fantastic! We’ve rented from them twice now, both times with Captain Dalton. Sarabeth is excellent to work with when booking the charter, and Captain Dalton is incredibly knowledgeable about the area. We’ve had wonderful experiences both times and are thrilled to have found such a great service! We HIGHLY Recommend!!!!

The sunset cruise was amazing - we saw dolphins and had a wonderful time. They made a charcuterie board for us and it was the perfect way to celebrate my husband's 40th. The captain and the staff were responsive and friendly.

I just wanted to let you know that we all had a wonderful time on the Sunset Cruise. We very much appreciated how you tailored the Cruise to our wishes and then you put your own special touches on it. Charcuterie board and wine was very very nice. I had no idea there was so much wildlife about and seeing the bald eagle was extremely special. It was fun to see the beautiful homes from the Waterview a.k.a. the nosy neighbor tour😂… you are an accomplished captain and an excellent tour guide. Hope to see you next year.

We took a sunset cruise with Captain Jim. It was so convenient to have a choice of several pick-up locations, and the comfortable, great-for-socializing boat was in pristine condition. Captain Jim was friendly, knowledgeable, professional and accommodating. We had a wonderful evening, and the beautiful charcuterie board and bubbles were the perfect complement to our memorable trip. We will definitely book Four Keys again !

An amazing experience for our entire family touring Sarasota Bay on a sunset cruise hosted by Captain James. Our captain was extremely knowledgeable and provided our family with the personalized service you can only get from a private charter. The cruise was very informative. He took us to see places that mattered most to our family, specifically our grandchildren. We got to see some interesting sites you can only get from being on the bay like the Ringling Brothers mansion Ca’ d ’Zan. Our grandchildren loved seeing the manatees hiding out in the canals. The evening was capped off with a beautiful unobstructed view of the Sunset in the Gulf.

The sunset cruise was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip! Sarabeth was very helpful and responsive in the booking process. My daughters and I have horrible motion sickness so I was worried. Captain Jim was so thoughtful on making sure we stayed out of rough water. First time on a boat that I didn't get sick. Everything was fantastic! Captain Jim was vey knowledgeable. We saw all kinds of wildlife, dolphins, manatee, and of course the beautiful sunset. Highly recommend anyone looking for something fun and different. We will book with four keys every time we come back to visit!

We had an amazing time on the water with Captain Jim! All we had to do was show up and he took care of the rest. Beautiful water views, also saw dolphins and manatees. Enjoyed listening to our favorite music while taking in an amazing sunset. We will be booking again soon!
