Ft. Lauderdale
Cruise down the New River in Ft. Lauderdale and pass
many beautiful homes along the way. Many celebrities and famous people
have homes along our route to Port Everglades the home Luxury Liners
bound for the Bahamas and Caribbean. You will see the famous Pier 66
hotel with its' rotating restaurant atop the 20th floor. Many mega
yachts are docked at the marinas we pass with lots of hard working
sailors ready to wave or smile for a picture so bring your camera. The
New River brings us through the river walk section of downtown Ft.
Lauderdale with many shops and restaurants you may want to go back to
later on. Watch for the Manatee's and dolphin that love the water too!
Miami
You'll want to save some time either before or after your yacht charter
to experience SoBe. Over the last ten years, South Beach has
experienced a virtual renaissance of the arts and has become a favorite
backdrop for the fashion and film industries.
The nearby "Art Deco" district is famous for its pastel, lovingly
restored landmark hotels and architecture. Stroll down Ocean Drive and
dine at a beachfront cafe. Or cruise on over to Lincoln Road outdoor
pedestrian mall, where an eclectic mix of shops, art galleries,
restaurants and live music reflects a truly international blend of
Latin, Caribbean and European cultures.
The Miami Beach Marina is conveniently located in the heart of South
Beach, at the corner of the MacArthur Causeway (836 East), and South
Alton Road. It's about a 15-minute taxi ride from Miami International
Airport; and just a crab claw's throw away from Joe's Stone Crab
Restaurant, the oldest eatery on Miami Beach, famous for it's delicious
stone crabs and seafood. (They even have "take-out" stone crabs you can
bring back to your boat, to start your charter out right!)
Miami Beach Marina boosts a full range of amenities, including restaurants, gourmet grocery, dive shop, swimming pool, and clean restrooms with showers, laundry, luxury mega-yachts and free parking.
Key West
Discover a city where real estate titles date back to the Kings of
Spain. Stroll the palm-lined streets and discover gingerbread mansions,
tin-roofed conch houses, the John Audubon House and Ernest Hemingway's
home. Walk in the footsteps of Thomas Edison, Lou Gehrig, Harry Truman,
and Tennessee Williams. Gaze at the fabled treasure of the galleon
Atocha. Discover tomorrow's fine art treasures by Key West's well-known
and unknown artists.
Many of our charter guests love Key West so much, they simply daysail
and come back to the marina at night. More adventuresome sailors can
head out for a trip to the Marquesas and Dry Tortugas. This itinerary
requires advanced navigation skills, prior experience anchoring
overnight; and a sense of self-reliance, since you are mostly out of
VHF hailing range. The "Dry Tortugas" were named by early Spanish
explorers, due to their resemblance to the sea turtles which were once
so plentiful, and the fact that they are "dry", (i.e. there is no
source of fresh water available).
Weather is a very important factor when planning a trip to the Dry Tortugas. Listen carefully to the local forecast and check with our Key West manager before leaving.
