Florida Yachts For Charter

The shallow, clear and protected waters contribute to the pristine condition of the Florida Keys. There are secluded coves and beaches, lively marinas and restaurants, wild life and fauna.

With hundreds of islands to explore, we at Northrop and Johnson BVI have decided to give you a sample of destinations that you could visit in the Florida Keys either by sailing boat or power boat. Whatever your interests, you will find something to tantalize your senses. To maximize your time we suggest that you cruise from Miami to Key West and than return by rental car from Key West, a mere 3 hours back to the Miami.

Key Largo
Key Largo’s proximity to the everglades makes it a premier destination for kayakers and eco tourists. There is a cast of characters that make up this vibrant artist community. Key Largo is also home to the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. The coral formations and variety of fish are absolutely astounding. You could spend days snorkeling and sailing the reefs and wrecks in the park.

Tavernier Key
This island is the next stop directly south of Key Largo. Tavernier Key is also home to the Florida Keys Wild Bird Rehabilitation Center. Here you can see birds being nursed back to health. The center operates solely on donations so please leave a few dollars behind to ensure the “Keys birds can continue to receive the care they need.

Islamorada
Jump overboard and explore the wreckage of the San Pedro located in just 18 ft of water just off Indian Key. Explore the underwater Coral gardens of both Upper and Lower Matecumbe Keys. At Windley Key there is no protected anchorage but you can dock at the popular Holiday Isle Beach and Marina. If you are looking for a bit of liveliness, this is one of the most fun marinas of the keys. The famous Tiki Bar offers dockside entertainment from dusk to dawn. Enjoy the sandy beaches, shop the boutiques and listen to local musicians.

Marathon
Locally known as “the heart of the keys” this 10 mile long island city is the center of the Florida Keys chain. This is a popular area for sailors, divers, snorkelers and for fishing.
Sombrero Reef lies just a few miles offshore. Beyond, the deep blue waters teem with bill fish and tuna in the winter and dolphin fish in the summer. Many of the island’s marine activities are located on Boot Key Harbor, a peaceful tropical cove in the center of the island.

Big Pine Key and The Lower Keys
The lower keys bring you back to time when life was much simpler. Here you can snorkel or dive Looe Key coral reef, search the shoreline for Key Deer or go beyond the reef and drop a line to troll the deep blue waters. The lower keys have names like Cudjoe Key, Sugarloaf key and Snipe key. The Saddlebunch Keys and their network of sandy lagoons and mangrove islands make it the perfect spot to set out in a kayak with a picnic lunch packed by your chef.

Key West
Welcome to Key West. There is plenty to do for everyone. Diving and snorkeling the coral reefs and wrecks around Key West is not to be missed. Kayak the back country, try your hand at fly fishing across one of the sandy flats. Enjoy a meal at one of the fine restaurants and watch the sun set along with all the other residents (a tradition every evening).

As you can see the Florida Keys have so much to offer all yachtsmen. While N&J BVI can guide you in the right direction it will be the captain and crew of your desired yacht that will share
