Sailing Key West year-round, the Appledore Star is the newest addition to our wooden schooner fleet. This wooden two-masted bugeye schooner has a shallow draft design that lets her explore Key West’s shallow back-country with ease. Join us on Key West’s best ecotour as we sail to the back-country for a kayak journey around deserted mangrove islands and snorkel sponge gardens. Or relax on a romantic sunset cruise sailing into Key West’s world-famous sunset. Whichever Key West tour you choose, the Appledore Star will take you on the adventure of a lifetime. Learn what its like to captain a wooden schooner – take a turn at the wheel and help raise the sails. Hand built in 1982 by legendary shipwright, Jim Richardson, he chose this bugeye schooner design for its storied history and ease of sailing. Be sure to book your journey on this unique schooner, the only one of its kind sailing in Key West.
