Live Aboard Charters

We believe in taking time to relax and to enjoy the beauty of the Keys. Snorkel and fish, dinghy around the mangroves and socialize with other cruisers. We will take you to local island restaurants where you can enjoy fresh seafood, tropical drinks and live music. Captain Margie and Captain Harold, who are both Coast Guard licensed captains, provide a gentle and calm sailing experience. Let us show you how enjoyable the cruising life can be.

Snorkeling is great in the clear waters of the Florida Keys. We also enjoy sharing our knowlege of the Keys ecology and history. Learn about fishing under sail. Men, women and couples will enjoy the challenge of catching a dinner of fresh fish or lobster. Captain Margie and Captain Harold have been catching and cooking Florida lobster and fish for over 25 years. Relax with a drink at sunset,  read a book, or help sail the boat. It will be a vacation you won’t forget.

Enjoy an Evening Exploring South Miami Beach

Start or end your trip with a visit to South Beach, where “the bronzed and the beautiful work, play, shop, and let loose...where money and sex flow like the ocean surf...where stately palms sway over the languid curves and artful angles of a world of deco delight...” by Bill Wisser, author of South Beach: America’s Riveria, Miami Beach, Florida.
