Did you know?
Sunset Sail Key West is about the love of sailing. We offer our guests an alternative to the crowded
business driven water sports companies.
Sunset Sail Key West is the creation of renowned sailing
captain Seth Salzmann who has spent his entire life aboard some of the most famous sailing vessels in
the world. Captain Seth has put together a team of likeminded sailors all of whom enjoy sharing their
love of sailing with our guests. Whether you want to have a hands on experience, or just relax and let
us do the sailing, you will disembark with a new understanding of what has drawn people to the sea
for centuries.
At Sunset Sail Key West we never forget that it is you, our customer that allows us to do what we love
every day.
Mission
Our goal at Sunset Sail Key West is to offer a true sailing experience for locals and visitors alike aboard
unique classic vessels. From inspiring newcomers and first-timers, to helping our community sailors
hone their skills while serving as captain and crew, Sunset Sail Key West is about sharing the love of
sailing.
Owner Captain Seth Salzmann
Captain Seth discovered his love for sailing after going out on a Key West sunset sail at the age of
13. Upon disembarking he turned to his father and said "That's what I want to do with my life" He
was referring to sailing, and he has lived true to that statement ever since. He started then as a
volunteer on traditional schooners from Key West to Maine, and through hard work and dedication,
driven by sheer passion for the sea he climbed his way up the ladder to make himself one of the
youngest schooner Captains on the East Coast. He has sailed and commanded some of the oldest and
most renowned classic schooners on the water including General Patton’s When and If, the flawlessly
restored Fife schooner Adventuress and John Alden’s magnum opus, the Bermuda Race winner
Malabar X. Bringing his experience back to Key West, with the help of friends and loved ones he
founded Sunset Sail Key West with the desire to provide a fun, compelling, customer orientated
sailing charter company.
Manager Jennifer Salzmann
Jenny was young, free and single, minding her own business in the Caribbean when a gorgeous
mariner came up and asked if she would like to go sailing. Though Seth and Jenny took up their
relationship from there, they never actually sailed together until 8 months later when they raced a
classic yacht across the Atlantic from Europe. From there Seth took Jenny back to Key West where she
fell in love with Sunset Sail Key West and its mission. With significant small-business management
behind her she was ready to get started right away, and from scrubbing bilges and cleaning toilets to
meeting advertising executives and impressing resort managers, there is nothing she won’t do for
Sunset Sail Key West!
Join us in preserving sailing tradition aboard some of Key West’s most storied yachts!
