The Florida Keys are known for their spectacular coral reefs, excellent marina facilities and quiet restful anchorages.
Often called "America's Caribbean Islands" the Keys are warmed by the Gulfstream, a swift flowing river in the ocean. Sheltered by the only living coral reef in the U.S., the Keys offer splendid sailing conditions year round.
Where can I sail in Florida?
Miami Beach & Key West 
Charter from Miami Beach or Key West, or one way between the two bases and cruise into the peaceful serenity of the Florida Keys, over 125 miles of islands warmed by the Gulfstream. The islands of the Florida Keys run south west from the city of Miami and are connected by bridges and causeways. Cruise the coastline along Hawk Channel or Florida Bay on "the inside".
The first island is Key Largo which offers some of the finest diving and snorkeling in the Florida Keys. One of the main attractions in Key Largo is the John Pennekamp State Park. Islamorada, just south of Key Largo, is known for its world class sport fishing. Marathon Key is known as the heart of the Florida Keys and offers many relaxing.
Big Pine Key and the Lower Florida Keys are as kicked back as it gets here. Boating is one of the number one attractions. At the "southernmost" end, you have the historic seafaring town of Key West, laid-back and friendly. Walk the beach and watch a beautiful sunset, or dance all night in downtown Key West. The charter fleet is located in the heart of "Old Town", within walking distance to restaurants, Hemingway's haunts, and the famous nightly sunset celebration at Mallory Square.
What's the weather like for sailing in the Florida Keys?
