Some can be as low as one fourth the value of your entire vacation. We highly recommend this to all charters. The weather is most of the time very good in the Florida Keys. However many like the insurance due to issues lately from external out of your control situations such as airline problems and connecting flights that might have bad weather outside of Florida such as hub at Atlanta airport or other locations.
Most cover every aspect of your vacation from airlines, rental cars, hotels, and of course your VRBO booking. With so many potential issues with travel and weather issues that will influence your outdoor adventure, these days our customers thank us for reminding them to do this.

Of the many places we’ve stayed in Key West through the years, this was by far our favorite location. Very convenient to restaurants, coffee, bike rentals and the view can’t be beat. The boat did have an unpleasant odor during our stay, which owners were quick to address. The included sunset sail was the “icing on the cake”. Couldn’t have picked a better spot in Key West for my Miami Vice fan DH’s birthday.
Staying on the boat was a memorable experience and made for a fun anniversary get away, especially when we got to go out on the water on her.
The location of the boat is perfect. Just a short walk to Duval St, The Hemmingway house and the Truman house. Extremely quiet at night!! Our sailing trip was the icing on the cake. Captain Matt and Cassie were an absolute delight. Albert and Rhonda, thank you for the best honeymoon a girl (and guy) could ever ask for! We will definitely book again!
Beautiful location to spend a few days in Key West. Sailing and snorkeling a nice added bonus. A little challenging with restroom situation but for a few days well worth it.
We had an awesome time with this option. Highly recommend you give this a try. Clearly not for everyone but it was prefect for us
Very nice location. Included sail excursion was amazing. Alberts family was amazing. Lots of fun. Already recommended it to friends and we just left today
The boat was nicely set up. They provided a variety of cold drinks and provided a private 4 hour sail. It was beautiful. Weather was perfect 75 degrees every day and no humidity. Enjoy our visit and would love to do it again.
Great trip. Boat was docked in a great location. Sailing trip wAs fantastic! The forward head had issues but these things happen on a boat. Owners are very easy to work with. I would stay there again. !
This was a wonderful adventure, but not without a few glitches. Upon arrival, the boat was not ready due to repair issues. (These things happen, we totally understand.) Check in was delayed because of the mechanical repairs and then we had to vacate the boat for an additional 5 hours the next day. In exchange for our troubles, Albert offered a sunset cruise in addition to the half day sail we were already booked for, which was breathtaking and wonderful. Due to the delayed check-in, cleaning was done a little hastily to get us in. Maintenance on the engine resulted in a noticeable fuel/engine fluid smell, which did dissipate with time. Overall, Albert, Ronda, Captain Clay and crew (plus mechanic Mike) were awesome, extremely accommodating, and very apologetic about the issues and made our visit as enjoyable as possible. We had a fantastic trip and absolutely LOVED staying in the marina. Location to all things Key West could not have been better. Customer service by Albert and crew can't be beat!
We enjoyed this unique jewel in KW! Al, Ronda, Pete & Genni were great hosts. Next time we plan to do the overnite sea trip! Thank you!
