Florida Keys Charters:

A cruise through the Florida Keys is an attractive alternative to an extended cruise in the Bahama's. They offer the same range of opportunities and rewards that are nothing short of Fantastic! ... Great fishing, crystal blue waters, tropical fish, and coral reefs and more! If your vacation plans dictate an abbreviated cruise for less than 7 days or you prefer to cruise through more protected waters, then this is it! The Florida Keys begin in our back yard: Biscayne Bay, (just a short few hours sail) and stretch 200 miles all the way to Key West, with lots of safe, protected anchorage along the way. Our base location already puts you in our cruising grounds. Locations North of us such as Ft. Lauderdale, are a full days sail down, and another back up. (that's two days of your seven day charter vacation)

Imagine a cruising ground of 800 islands stretching across hundreds of miles of crystalline water, caressed year round by balmy Southeast breezes. Add to this an abundance of rock lobster, fresh fish, crabs and shrimp...all yours for the taking. These are the main ingredients of 'Americas Out Islands" The Florida Keys. Welcome to "MARGARITAVILLE" and "DOLPHINLAND!" Explore the only - living coral reef in the Continental United States without ever having to make an open-water passage. Enjoy snorkeling and fishing (it doesn't get any better than this). Visit secluded islands, marinas and resorts and never sail in water deeper than fifteen feet!There are no heavy swells for those who have a tendency toward "mal de mer"... all that wind and no waves!!! Really!!!
