Florida Keys yacht charters are one of the most popular yachting vacations in the continental U.S. Florida Keys are composed of more than 40 islands south of Miami and offer the best diving and snorkeling in the U.S. The 110 miles of the Florida Keys chain are also the home to North America’s only living coral barrier reef.
Just off the southern tip of mainland Florida are the Florida Keys, a tropical island chain stretching 120 miles from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. The islands — each with its distinct personality — are a playground for all ages, whether snorkeling with schools of colorful fish, diving to explore a famous shipwreck, fishing for the perfect marlin, or simply enjoying an umbrella drink while watching a gorgeous sunset.
From laid-back escapes to daily adventures, the best way to experience all the Florida Keys offer is with a custom yacht charter vacation.
The Florida Keys are the ideal year-round yacht charter destination. Average highs range from 75F/24C in January to 89F/32C in August. Winter months are the driest, and the Keys don’t experience the cold fronts that can bring frost to the mainland. When temperatures peak, the ocean breezes will cool you down. Thundershowers and rain can pop up from late May through October, but wet weather rarely lasts the entire day. Best of all, the waters are warm and calm throughout most of the year.
Key Largo is the first and northernmost of the Florida Keys, a natural paradise on land and under the sea. Referred to as the Diving Capital of the World, it is home to the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, which includes the world’s largest artificial reef, the 510-foot USS Spiegel Grove shipwreck.
Key Largo is also a sportfishing destination, with over 600 fish species in the surrounding waters, including the famous yellowtail snapper. For a truly memorable experience, check out one of the island’s dolphin encounter programs, where you can learn more about the mammals or even swim alongside them.
Located just 90 minutes south of Miami, between Everglades National Park and the Florida Strait, Islamorada is a village made up of six islands. It is known as the Sportfishing Capital of the World. Anglers can fly fish in the shallow backcountry waters for bonefish, redfish, and tarpon in the morning, then head offshore and try to snag a sailfish that same day.
Divers will love exploring the area reefs and visiting the History of Diving Museum, which includes intriguing finds, like a 16th-century treasure chest. Take a step back to Florida in the early 1800s at Indian Key Historic State Park and Lignumvitae Key Botanical State Park, or hike the tropical nature trails at Long Key State Park.
The southernmost key in the chain and the southernmost point in the United States, Key West, is closer to Cuba than Miami. Spanning just two by four miles and with a population of around 27,000 full-time residents, its Bahamian and Cuban heritage is all over the island.
Famed for its natural beauty, history, climate, art, architecture, and abundance of activities for all ages, Key West is an excellent option for family or couples charters. Visit the Ernest Hemingway Museum and discover why Key West captivated the acclaimed author. Snorkel or dive into the area’s reefs and shipwrecks.
