The company

Started with a racing catamaran in 1988

Paul McGrail, a 200-ton master, and boat builder Sean Rowley bought the 50-foot racing catamaran Sebago, a boat sponsored by the shoe company and raced by Walter Greene, and started running day charters from the Key West seaport in 1988. The company calls itself the longest-established day-charter catamaran operation in the continental US.

Since 2019 Sebago has been owned by RED Hospitality & Leisure, part of Ashford Inc. The fleet is four big catamarans, a tiki cat, a 37-foot Axopar for private trips and two parasail boats, with a yellow office on the Harbor Walk between Schooner Wharf Bar and Conch Republic Seafood.

Reviews

What guests say

Reviewers write about hardworking, funny crews and reef trips that are the best value on the seaport. The honest caveats in reviews: the big boats fill up, water time on the reef can feel short, and dolphins are not guaranteed however the marketing reads.
