Key West, the U.S. answer to the Caribbean, is the southernmost point of the Florida Keys archipelago, lying roughly 90 miles north of Cuba. Famed for its pastel-hued, conch-style houses, it’s a Yacht Vacations dream destination for those not wanting to leave the continental United States, but still experience coral reefs, diving and snorkeling – or simply relaxing on the beaches in the warm Florida sun. With Yacht.Vacations all itineraries are entirely flexible & personalized, the following example will give you an idea of what is possible on a 7 night miami yacht charter.

Biscayne National Park

In the afternoon, you can return to South Beach where you can check out some of the most beautiful nightclubs or unwind with a drink on the deck, or head further south into the Biscayne National Park for a shorter passage the next day

 Day 2: Cruise to the Florida Keys

After Breakfast, you sail south until reaching the beautiful Florida Keys. Along the way, you can enjoy the water sports your yacht offers such as waterskiing, wakeboarding, and diving.

The Keys are well known as an excellent yachting destination and have many attractions and activities. From a guided bicycle tour of Old Town Key West, or scaring yourself on the ghosts & mysteries tour, there is no shortage of fun things to do here.

After a busy morning you can enjoy a drink in one of the many bars or take a siesta by the water under the palm trees.

Bakers Cay, Key Largo

 Day 3: Key Largo

Famous for it’s diving, snorkelling, and beautiful sunset views, Key Largo is a water lovers dream. With one of the worlds largest artificial reef’s, it’s an amazing place to experience life under the water.

If you prefer life above the water, the Everglades national park is a short drive away where you can see amazing wildlife.

 Day 4: Key West

No crewed yacht charter is complete without a visit to the southernmost point in the continental US, Key West. This beautiful island is perfect for fishing and enjoy watersports.

No trip to Key West is complete without a drink on Duval Street and watching the sunset. You should also check out some of the great beaches in the area such as Higg’s Beach in the old town.

If you’re deep-sea fishing fans, this is a great place to hook some fresh mahi mahi or tuna

 Day 5: Marquesas Keys

What we recommend for your 5th day on charter is, heading west to a group of uninhabited islands called Marquesas Keys. These are a group of 10 virgin islands that were formed several million years ago when a meteorite hit, that created a beautiful giant lagoon surrounded by mangroves and virgin white-sand beaches.

These virgin islands are the only natural atoll in the entire Western Hemisphere. The best way to explore Marquesas Keys? Kayak! The less adventurous can look forward to relaxing on the deck of your crewed yacht charter with a refreshing drink. There are endless options here for having a great time, and the sunsets aren’t to be missed!

 Day 6: Little Torch Key

Your next destination should be the quaint Little Torch Key and the modern Little Palm Island Resort and Spa. Little Torch Key and its neighbors Ramrod Key and Summerland Key are an fantastic places for kayaking and fishing.

If you’re avid scuba divers, you can explore the nearby Ramrod Key before setting sail to the private island of Little Palm which is home to the exclusive Little Palm Island Resort and Spa. This exclusive retreat is only accessible by yacht. Whilst visiting the island, the more extreme of us can sky dive, and see the atoll from above.

 Day 7: Home

On the last day of your crewed yacht charter, It’s time to head back to Miami which is the final destination of your Florida Keys yacht charter.
