Sail the Florida Keys
Discover the Beauty of the Florida Keys
At the southern tip of Florida lies a stunning chain of islands, stretching 170 miles and surrounded by turquoise waters. This is the Florida Keys, home to the only living coral reef in the United States. Its subtropical climate and breathtaking Atlantic views make it a top destination for sailors.
Sailboat Chartering Options
Choose from four sailboat vacation types:
1. Bareboat Chartering: Perfect for seasoned sailors who prefer navigating without a captain.
2. Chartering with a Captain: Ideal for those who want a guide on board to assist with sailing tasks.
3. Sailboat Training: Enhance your skills with courses suitable for all experience levels, available for groups or individuals.
4. Cruising with a Captain and Cook: Relax while the crew handles sailing and meals.
Selecting the Right Sailboat
When choosing a sailboat, consider size and fit at marinas. We recommend monohulls between 40 to 43 feet long, offering a balance of space and comfort. These boats are better equipped than smaller ones and can usually dock at marinas throughout the Keys. Catamarans might need to anchor offshore due to size.
Best Times to Sail
While the Keys enjoy year-round sailing conditions, optimal times are March to May and late November to early December. Be mindful of peak tourist times like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year. Cold fronts can occur from late December to February, while hurricane season and higher humidity span June to November, peaking in August, September, and October.
