Sailing and boating in the Florida Keys is truly a relaxing experience!
We have boating and sailing schools to take lessons and classes on sailing. Or you can charter
your own private boat for a romantic day/evening, sunset sail, starlight dinner cruises, weddings,
fishing, dolphin watching or fishing tournaments.
There are even some all day excursions that offer “do everything, see it all” total adventure trips for
scuba diving, snorkeling, and fishing.
Sport Fishing in the Florida Keys
The Florida Keys, both in the back country and the Atlantic side, contains more species of fish than
anywhere else in the Atlantic making the Florida Keys a Fisherman's Dream!!
Florida Keys Fishing Charters will take you either to the oceanside or the flats and backcountry for a
Florida Keys Fishing experience you will never forget! Florida Keys Fishing guides are talented and
knowledgeable when it comes to where to find the fish, what fish to try to catch and how to catch the
fish. Florida Keys Sportfishing (catch and release) is very popular up and down the 120 miles of
Florida Keys.
There are a series of three "humps" located on the edge of the continental shelf off of the Florida
Keys. These humps are loosely called seamounts, because they are like mountains rising from the
ocean floor. Worldwide, there are thousands of these structures. Some are remnants of underwater
volcanoes; others may have once been emergent islands. Wherever you find them, seamounts are
unique marine habitats. These areas are where several Florida Keys sportfishing charters will go
depending on the weather
and seas.
If the seas are rough, you always have the choice of Florida Keys flats or back country fishing. Florida
Keys flats fishing guides will pilot you into the wilderness of the uninhabited Keys and mangrove
shorelines of the Florida Bay or the Gulf. Fly fishing, light tackle fishing, bone fishing and tarpon
fishing - all good choices for Florida Keys and Key West back country fishing.
Florida Keys reef fishing and wreck fishing other very popular choices for light tackle fishing. Reef
fishing and wreck fishing in the Florida Keys and Key West yields a wide range of fish, many of which
are especially fine for the table.
Scuba Diving
The Florida Keys Reef Tract is the only living coral barrier reef in North America and is the 3rd largest
coral barrier reef in the world. The first is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the second is the
Meso-American Reef in Belize. The reef extends approximately 221 miles down the South East coast
of Florida and runs parallel to the Florida Keys starting at Key Biscayne near Miami all the way down
to the Dry Tortugas which are 70 miles west of Key West. The reef is found from 1 mile to 8 miles
offshore.
The majority of the reef system off Key Largo was ceded over to the Key Largo National Marine
Sanctuary in 1975, which was then incorporated into the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary in
1990. Because of this, the reefs that we visit are now under heavier protection and heavier
enforcement of violations. The reefs are showing great benefits from this protection! Many of the
most sensitive, healthiest reefs are now protected as Sanctuary Preservation Areas, a designation
that was put in place July 1st, 1997. Being designated as an SPA makes it illegal to fish, lobster,
stand, anchor on the reef, or even touch anything within the SPA boundaries. This protection has
boosted levels of large gamefish on the reefs and greatly stabilized the overall health of the reef tract.
In the Florida Keys, divers can choose from a variety of dive sites. We have wreck diving, reef diving
and artificial reef diving with different skill levels from beginner to advanced diving. Water temps
peak in the low 80Fs in summer, and can drop to the low 70Fs in winter. Visibility is usually good,
typically no less than 50 feet, and you'll see more fish life than you might expect.
Florida Keys scuba diving & snorkeling charters and Key West scuba diving & snorkeling excursions
will take you out to the Florida Keys reef for world class diving and snorkeling in the mostly crystal
clear and calm turquoise blue waters. Florida Keys dive sites have hundreds of different kinds of
Florida Keys tropical fish along with the colorful hard and soft corals and other reef creatures. Diving
in the Florida Keys and diving in Key West are two of the most popular things to do in the Keys.
If you have always wanted to learn to dive, get your Padi, SSI or Naui certification in the Keys! We have
many dive shops with facilities, dive instructors and divemasters ready and equipped to train you from
beginner classes to instructor courses. Getting your certification in diving in the Florida Keys is
perfect because many Keys dive sites are shallow so they're ideal for beginner diving.
If you need to rent dive equipment, you won't have any trouble finding a dive shop to rent good, quality
dive gear. Don't want to dive but want to see the reef or go with someone that's diving? Most Florida
Keys dive shops offer snorkeling trips to the reef, too. And there are several boat charters just for
snorkelers.
