Wreckers Race aboard Schooner America 2.0

All hands on deck!  If you enjoy a good sailboat race, it is an absolute must for you to sail on board the Schooner America 2.0 for the Key West Schooner Wharf Bar Wrecker’s Cup Race! 

A little history…back in the days of old Key West, ships from afar often ran aground on Sand Key Reef. When all the scallywags in Key West heard there was booty to be had, they jumped in their boats and raced to the reef. The first one there could claim the ship’s cargo! Arrggh!

Today, we celebrate this Key West tradition annually with a set of monthly races from January to April. It all starts with the firing of the cannon at 1:00 PM.  Enjoy the excitement aboard Schooner America 2.0 as we race to defend our title of fastest schooner in Key West!

One round of beer, wine, champagne, and a boxed lunch are complimentary with your ticket purchase. Purchase a Beverage Package during the booking process, or additional drinks for credit card purchase while on board. (Call us directly to save 6% online processing fee)
