About & editorial standards

What we publish

Well Played Key West is an independent travel-planning publication for visitors deciding how to use limited island time. We publish focused itineraries, experience comparisons, booking checklists, and self-service planning systems.

The site is part of Well Played Travel and is operated by Travel Tours, a Virginia-registered sole proprietorship. It is not an official City of Key West, Monroe County, NOAA, NWS, or tourism authority website.

Our editorial method

• Each guide begins with a practical traveler decision: route order, group fit, water confidence, timing, transportation, weather, or booking priority.
• Official and first-party sources are preferred for rules, forecasts, tides, transportation, and safety information.
• Editorial guidance is separated from partner inventory. Verify current prices, availability, inclusions, ratings, accessibility, and cancellation terms on the provider page.
• Material claims are reviewed when a guide is updated, and guide pages display a review date.
