Schooner Wharf "Rigging" in the New Year! New Year's Eve Celebration
2020-12-31 11:30 - 2021-01-01 04:00 | Schooner Wharf Bar, 202 William St, Key West, FL, 33040, United States
Join your friends and make new ones at the Schooner Wharf Bar New Year’s Eve Celebration.
The popular waterfront watering hole once again will present its nautical New Year’s Eve tradition with “The Lowering of the Pirate Wench” from the towering mast of the tall ship America 2.0 docked in front of the bar in the Key West Bight.
Everyone’s favorite pirate wench and co-owner of Schooner Wharf Bar, Evalena Worthington, will descend dramatically against large, illuminated countdown numbers. The stroke of midnight will signal the start of 2021 with cannon fire and the jubilant sound of horns and noisemakers from the crowd against a backdrop of the ship’s crew dressed as pirates.

Schooner Wharf has complimentary hats, party favors and horns for everyone to feel festive while enjoying holiday drink specials and live music throughout the day and night. The bash was rated by AOL as the No. 2 New Year’s party in the nation – second only to the Times Square madness in New York City.
The festivities start early with guitarist Michael McCloud taking the stage from 11:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Michael has an incredible ability of commanding the audience with his unique humor and original music and showmanship. Followed by some of the best music this island has to offer!
As the midnight hour approaches, a local DJ will play party favorites in anticipation of the Auld Lang Syne. The event is emceed by Key West magician Frank Everhart and radio personality Bill Hoebee. Hoist your drink – and your eyes – toward the top of the towering mast as the countdown begins and another year ends.
But the end of the year isn’t the end of the party – the Schooner New Year rocks until 4 a.m. All this and No Cover Charge.

The much anticipated first race of the Schooner Wharf Bar Wrecker’s Cup Race Series is scheduled for Sunday, January 30 at 1:00 p.m. The course is 7 miles from Key West Harbor to Sand Key, re-enacting the ancient wrecking tradition of Key West…a series of ruthless one way races to the reef to claim the booty.
This all-in-fun race series recalls the tradition of the wreckers in the Key West of the 1800’s. Vessels laden with rich cargoes from Gulf and Caribbean ports often became victims of storm and the unmarked reefs off Key West.
The first wrecker to reach the site had the responsibility to save the passengers and crew—but they also won the right to salvage the cargoes. Some historians have written that it was not unusual for 20 or 30 boats to race to a wreck.
The Captains’ Meetings are held in the Sail Loft at Schooner Wharf at 7:00 p.m. the Saturday before each race. Captains enjoy complimentary Pusser’s Rum punch while reviewing race procedures.
The Awards Ceremony & Party is held at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, race day. Captains & crew can see themselves under sail while viewing film footage taken of the race by the official race committee boat. The popular Big Daddy Rich will be playing Rock, Soul, Blues, Country, Rare 1 Hit Wonders and AM Gold from the 60s and 70s all with fun and energy.
Trophies and prizes are earned by the top 3 vessels in 6 to 7 different classes –schooner, multi-hull, classic, monohull 29′ and under, monohull 30-39 feet, monohull 40 feet and possibly a Hobie Cat class!
At the race start Key West Garbor is a magnificent sight, filled with colorful sails and spinnakers on vessels ranging from 16 feet to 120 feet.

Ahoy Mates! It’s time to clean the bottom and pile on the sails.
This all-in-fun race series recalls the tradition of the wreckers in the Key West of the 1800’s. Vessels laden with rich cargoes from Gulf and Caribbean ports often became victims of storm and the unmarked reefs off Key West.
The first wrecker to reach the site had the responsibility to save the passengers and crew—but they also won the right to salvage the cargoes. Some historians have written that it was not unusual for 20 or 30 boats to race to a wreck.
The Captains’ Meetings are held in the Sail Loft at Schooner Wharf at 7:00 p.m. the Saturday before each race. Captains enjoy complimentary Pusser’s Rum punch while reviewing race procedures.
The Awards Ceremony & Party is held at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, race day. Captains & crew can see themselves under sail while viewing film footage taken of the race by the official race committee boat. The popular Big Daddy Rich will be playing Rock, Soul, Blues, Country, Rare 1 Hit Wonders and AM Gold from the 60s and 70s all with fun and energy.
Trophies and prizes are earned by the top 3 vessels in 6 to 7 different classes –schooner, multi-hull, classic, monohull 29′ and under, monohull 30-39 feet, monohull 40 feet and possibly a Hobie Cat class!
At the race start Key West harbor is a magnificent sight, filled with colorful sails and spinnakers on vessels ranging from 16 feet to 120 feet.
This original nautical event is another creation of Schooner Wharf Bar owners, Evalena and Paul Worthington, and is enjoyed by visiting yachters, local private boats and Key West charter vessels. You don’t need a boat of your own to participate, book passage and crew on one of the charter boats in the Wreckers’ fleet.

The Race Course is 7 miles from Key West Harbor to Sand Key. Race starts are: 1:00 PM and 1:05 PM for up to seven different classes. Wrecks rarely occurred in good weather, but the Schooner Wharf Wrecker’s Cup Races are conducted SAFETY FIRST. Stand by on #68 if severe weather is forecast. The Captains’ Meetings are held in the Sail Loft at Schooner Wharf Bar at 7:00 PM the evening before the race. The Award Party & Ceremony is held at 7:00 PM on Race Day. Awards in each race will include Original Trophies, Pusser Rum & Goodies, Schooner Wharf Bar Tabs and Wrecker’s Race Tee Shirts.
*Event Co-Sponsored by PUSSER’S RUM and presented by SCHOONER WHARF BAR.
