About Blu Q
Started By Captain Steve in 1996
Blu Q was started and continues to this day to be the home on the water for Gay men. Offering all male cruises that operate 3-4 days per week.
While the world has opened, Key West’s Blu Q still offers the same enthralling experience that made her famous.
Started by Steve Talbott in 1996, with a well earned “retirement” in 2021 Steve entrusted Billy Litmer to keep the uniqueness of Blu Q alive.
Options for Women
Blu Q offers Sunset Sails in the winter that are open to all and cater to the LGBT community as a whole.
Our sister company Honest Eco Tours, that we share our boats with, offer boat tours that are open to all people and age ranges and offer the same activities, though not clothing optional, they are LGBT friendly.
People sometimes ask, “why not regularly scheduled clothing optional trips for women?” and we say bring your friends and we would love to operate them! We operate tours for womens fest, so lets build the momentum!

Policies
Yes, you can bring your own alcohol onboard Blu Q! However, for safety reasons, we recommend choosing plastic or aluminum containers instead of glass.
We also ask that you please give any glass bottles to the crew upon boarding so they can take care of them and avoid any potential accidents. We understand that some guests may prefer to bring wine in glass bottles, so we will do our best to handle these bottles with care.
For regulatory and safety reasons, the crew are required to serve you your alcohol.
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation!

It’s totally common for guests to be naked or not be naked. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming and you will feel comfortable being yourself whether you keep your cute swim suit on or not.
It’s probably 50/50 on the guests in what option they go with!
If the weather is deemed unsafe for any reason, we will cancel the trip and either reschedule you for a future date or refund your ticket price.
While we may encounter some pop-up showers or variable winds during our trips, we always take the necessary precautions to ensure your safety. Your Captain is licensed by the United States Coast Guard and was required to have 720 days on the water to earn their masters license, preparing them to handle a wide range of weather conditions.
Ultimately, our goal is to provide you with an enjoyable and unforgettable experience on the water. We want you to come back! So whether the sun is shining or the rain is falling, we’ll do our best to make sure you have a great time!
We have fruit, veggies and hummus and we provide water. The trip is BYOB and you are welcome to bring additional food if you prefer. We have cooler space on board.
We provide all the gear for the activities such as snorkel gear and kayak gear.
Our day trips are reserved for Men, as they are clothing optional.
On the all male trips it is very common for couples, singles, and groups to join. The atmosphere is relaxed, fun and welcoming and is a great mix of people to share a beautiful experience on the water.
While we can’t predict the exact dynamic of each trip, our experience tells us that Blu Q guests are friendly and open to making new friends, which is part of what makes our trips so special. And don’t forget, our crew is always on hand to help make your experience as enjoyable as possible. They are super kind and friendly, and always happy to answer any questions you may have. So whether you’re traveling alone or with a group, you can count on Blu Q to provide a safe, fun, and welcoming environment for everyone!!
