Key West Sailing Charters

Experience the beauty and wonder of an unspoiled tropical paradise without ever leaving the Continental United States. Our Key West sailing charter destination is located minutes from all the downtown Key West attractions and Duval Street night life, yet a short sail away from pristine reefs, underwater nature preserves, and uninhabited island locations such as the stunning and secluded Marquesas.

Our native Floridian staff knows how to find the best activities on land or at sea, to guide you as you plan a unique and customized getaway.

Historic Duval Street

One of the most popular destinations on the island of Key West is Duval Street. Visit the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum where you can take in some history about the writer and meet a legendary six toed cat. If you feel like taking in some nature, visit the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory where there are 50 - 60 different species of live butterflies from around the world. On Duval Street, you can simply take a stroll and hear live music, see art galleries, enjoy coffee shops and great restaurants, or find unique souvenirs at one of the many boutiques.

Romantic Sunsets

Beautiful sunsets are what Key West is all about. Enjoy the soothing ocean breeze, a glass of wine, and relax to the backdrop of the setting sun on your own private catamaran cruise. Watching the sunset has become an integral part of everyday life in paradise. This is one tradition you don’t want to miss!

Crystal Clear Snorkeling

Key West offers many beaches and reefs where you can experience snorkeling in warm crystal-clear water. At Cottrell Key, see the unique sponge garden and large coral reefs. It is also an excellent place to see dolphins, sharks, stingrays, and Goliath groupers. Fort Zachary Taylor is considered one of the best offshore snorkeling spots in Key West where there are a variety of tropical fish species and living coral to see. A favorite among snorkeling enthusiasts is Sand Key Lighthouse Reef. With a remote location and strict no-take policy, the Sand Key Lighthouse Reef is one of the healthiest coral gardens in Florida.

Pristine Sandy Beaches

Craving a drink in your hand and your toes in the sand? Check out the turquoise waters at Smathers Beach. Rental shops are available with beach chairs, shade umbrellas, kayaks, jet skis and much more. Try South Beach for calm, shallow waters that are excellent for swimming and great for families. Higgs Beach is unique for its historical significance. Take a wander around, and you'll find monuments dedicated to the 19th-century slave cemetery located on the site. There is also a pier at Higgs Beach, where visitors can often spot stingrays and other marine species.

Guidelines to responsible yachting

If you’re looking to explore our beautiful planet, a yacht charter is a great place to start. Explore coral reefs with your snorkel, discover hidden bays and islands and generally enjoy the view of nature. Remember, that sailing motto:  'Take only photos, leave only wake'  (OK, so we paraphrased). To be a responsible sailor, remember:

• Don’t disturb coral or sealife
• Take your trash home (and don’t throw anything in the sea)
• Respect the locals and their customs wherever you go

Below you can find More information.

More information

Power Catamaran 40 – Make FOUNTAINE PAJOT , Cabins 3, Guests 6, Length 42’4″, Beam 19’8″, Draft 3’7″

Welcome aboard this 2019 Fountaine Pajot MY 40! This 3 cabin/2 head power cat is perfect for your next  Key West adventure . Her Volvo IPS 500 motors are great for getting to the Dry Tortugas and back.

Pegasus is equipped with a GARMIN radar, IPS Pilot, AIS VHF, second handheld VHF, and aft camera, aft hydraulic platform, solar panels, and RIB dinghy.

Her fully equipped galley and fly bridge make life aboard easy with an electric grill, combination microwave oven, fridge and freezer, ice-maker, dishwasher and washer dryer.

Additional amenities include Flat screen TV, WiFi amplifier, BOSE audio video pack, and extra 110V outlets. With the new MY40, Fountaine Pajot Motor Yachts pushes the limits of the possible even further, by striking the perfect balance between your demands for performance and comfort.

The power catamaran MY40 is exclusively equipped with Volvo IPS propulsion systems, in 400 or 500 versions. The experience the IPS systems guarantee is vibration-free, therefore even quieter, with better handling and lower fuel consumption.

Thanks to the step along its stems, the MY40 can offer large volumes inside while maintaining high-performance hulls. And with its on-board technology, the MY40 provides outstanding navigation from both cockpits, with a low environmental impact and with uncompromising comfort and complete safety.

With a length of 12.35 metres, its living spaces are much larger than those of a monohull of the same size. Whether it be its hydraulic platform at the rear, its spacious front sunbathing area or its magnificent 17 m2 relaxation area on the flybridge, all the Motor Yacht MY 40’s outdoor spaces are dedicated to your well-being. The layout of the “L” shaped living spaces has been designed to meet your preference for a more welcoming and friendly setting.

The large bays of the saloon allow you to remain in tune with the outside, as does the panoramic view at the front of the saloon, which gives the impression that the horizon is within reach.

The light penetrates deep inside the boat, and a feeling of transparency permeates every moment on board. Serenity prevails in this luxurious and welcoming interior, divided between an Owner’s suite and its Italian-style bathroom, two double guest cabins and two bathrooms.

Her Charter Rates are: 3 Days High $5,850 ++, Low $5,370 ++ 5 Days High $8,580 ++, Low $8,140 ++ 7 Days High $9,750 ++, Low $8,950 ++ She also has hourly rates for One Day charters/

About Key West 

Why is Key West a good sailing destination?

Yachting.Rent proudly stands as an ambassador to one of America’s most cherished nautical playgrounds: Key West, Florida. This sun-kissed haven, located at the southernmost tip of the continental U.S., is not just a place but a feeling, an invitation to experience the dance of the waves and the call of the open sea. Key West isn’t just a destination; it’s a state of mind, a dream for sailors and maritime enthusiasts, offering a combination of nature’s beauty, historical charm, and maritime adventure.

To begin, the geographical location and natural attributes of Key West make it a sailor’s dream. Nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and the vast Atlantic Ocean, it offers a unique blend of calm, turquoise bays and challenging open-water passages. The nearby Gulf Stream ensures a temperate climate year-round, which means consistent sailing conditions. Then, there’s the rich biodiversity. The coral reefs of Key West, such as the famous Florida Reef, are among the most diverse ecosystems in the northern hemisphere. Sailors often find themselves accompanied by playful dolphins, curious sea turtles, and a colorful array of fish, turning every voyage into a nature documentary come to life.

But Key West is more than its natural wonders. Its history is intertwined with tales of pirates, smugglers, and treasure hunters. The island has been a muse for writers, artists, and adventurers for centuries. Sailing here allows one to retrace the paths of old sea captains, explore sunken treasures, and dock at historic seaports where tales of yore come alive in rustic bars and charming boutiques. With Yachting.Rent, every journey can be infused with these stories, making the sailing experience as culturally rich as it is visually stunning.

In conclusion, Key West is not merely a point on the map but a portal to a world where nature, history, and adventure meld seamlessly. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor seeking new challenges or a novice looking to experience the magic of the sea for the first time, Key West promises a journey like no other. And at Yachting.Rent, we’re dedicated to ensuring that this promise is not just met but surpassed, offering curated voyages that capture the essence of Key West in all its glory. Join us, and let the winds of Key West guide your next adventure.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Key West

At Yachting.Rent, we cherish the spirit of exploration and the thrill of experiencing the azure waters of Key West, Florida. As you prepare for a maritime adventure in this tropical paradise, a quintessential question often arises: should one opt for a traditional sailing boat or venture aboard a catamaran? Both vessels offer distinct experiences, and understanding their nuances will help you tailor your Key West journey to your heart’s desires.

Traditional sailing boats, with their sleek hulls and iconic silhouettes, are an ode to the age-old art of sailing. They resonate with the rhythmic dance of the waves, letting sailors feel every ebb and flow of the ocean. Sailing boats offer an intimate connection with the sea, making them perfect for those who seek a genuine and tactile sailing experience. The sensation of heeling, where the boat tilts as it harnesses the wind’s power, can be a thrilling aspect for many. Furthermore, with their deeper drafts, these boats can often access unique routes, navigating narrow channels and anchoring close to hidden beaches and coves. If you’re looking for an authentic sailing experience that connects you closely with Key West’s marine environment, a sailing boat might be your vessel of choice.

On the other hand, catamarans, with their twin hulls and broader decks, are synonymous with stability and space. These vessels offer a relatively flat sailing experience, minimizing the rolling and tilting common in monohull boats. This feature is especially beneficial for those who are new to sailing or are prone to seasickness. Catamarans also boast expansive lounging areas, both indoor and outdoor, making them ideal for larger groups or families. With shallow drafts, they can anchor closer to the shore, giving sailors easy access to the pristine beaches of Key West. If you envision your maritime adventure filled with sunbathing, snorkeling, and socializing in spacious comfort, a catamaran could be the answer to your nautical dreams.

In conclusion, the choice between a sailing boat and a catamaran comes down to personal preference and the kind of experience you seek in the mesmerizing waters of Key West. Whether you’re yearning for a visceral bond with the sea or a laid-back, luxurious voyage, Yachting.Rent ensures that your charter meets and exceeds your expectations. Join us as we set sail into the heart of Key West, letting the whispers of the waves guide your unforgettable journey.

Yacht Layout

Layout of a boat is very important to Blue Ocean Yacht Charters as well as its customers.  Vessels are carefully chosen to give your Key West yacht charter the best experience possible. The number of passengers chartering and sleeping is a very important part of a Key West yacht charter.

Number of cabins (bedrooms) and beds are usually considered one of the highest priorities in a Key West vessel charter.  Functional, efficient cabins with one bed that can sleep up to two-three adults are common among BOYC’s boats.

The Dry Tortugas

Dry Tortugas National Park (DT) is our most popular, private, boat charter destination.  70 miles (113 km) west of Key West lies the remote Dry Tortugas National Park . The 100-square mile park is mostly open water with seven small islands.  Accessible only by boat or seaplane, the park is known the world over as the home of magnificent Fort Jefferson (FJ).  Picturesque blue waters, superlative coral reefs and marine life, and the vast assortment of bird life that frequent the area.

Fort Jefferson

Fort Jefferson, the largest all-masonry fort in the US, built between 1846 and 1875 to protect the nation’s gateway to the Gulf of Mexico. Supply and subsidence problems and the Civil War delayed construction. The fort was never completed. Fears that additional bricks and cannon would cause further settling and place more stress on the structure and the cistern system. Distinguishing features include decorative brickwork and 2,000 arches. Time, weather, and water continue to take their toll, necessitating ongoing stabilization and restoration projects.

Dry Tortugas Yacht Charter Key West, FL

DT is typically a minimum of a six night private Key West boat charter, round trip.  Can be done in as little as three nights one way, taking the Yankee Freedom back to Key West.  Charterer or customer would be responsible for paying the captain to return the boat back to its port in Key West. Making a beautiful sail to and from Key West, DT is an unforgettable sailing charter.

Boat charter will stop half way at the Marquises which is about a 5 hour sail from Key West. Marquises, called quick sands, are deserted islands formed naturally from many years of hurricanes and other natural phenomenon.  These islands are loaded with birds and other unique wildlife.  When on a Key West boat rental with BOYC, the charterer will be able to use the dinghy to get to the islands from the sailboat. These islands boast many acres of white sandy beaches.

Tranquility

Tranquility of this Key West yacht rental starts with no airplanes, traffic noises, or best of all, no cell phone or Wi-Fi reception. This way you can unplug and relax from your hectic life back home.  Cooking out on the grill or enjoying a professionally made dinner by a chef makes this boat rental a vacation to remember. Charter guests wake up and head for the Dry Tortugas and Fort Jefferson the next day.

Garden Key at the Dry Tortugas is about another 5 hours which should get you there in the afternoon sometime.  This will allow you to take the dinghy into the fort and look around and get registered with a park ranger.

The next day we recommend you join a tour lead by the national park service of Fort Jefferson.  These tours are very educational and should not be missed.  In the afternoon our guests like to take the yacht out to one of the famous reefs or wrecks for a snorkel or dive.  In the evening, sunsets are remarkable from the boat or on top of the tall wall surrounding Fort Jefferson.

On your way home, you will stop overnight one more time at the Marquises before arriving at the marina your last night.  It’s time to make your next Key West yacht rental to the Dry Tortugas with BOYC.

Bareboat charter

A Bareboat charter is when the customer rents the boat from the boat owner. The boat owner relinquishes control of the vessel for any given period of time.  The customer must hire and pay its own captain and crew to run the ship because of maritime law.  Charterer pays the boat owner or charter management company for use of the boat.  Customer must pay for its own fuel, provisions, insurance, or any other amenities preferred during the charter.

One of the benefits of a Key West bareboat charter is that the charterer may have more than six passengers or guests.  Bareboat customer is limited to 12 or less, with an uninspected coast guard vessel.  Besides regulations and the number of beds, the boats passenger rating is vitally instrumental when determining the right boat.

Captain and Crew

Selecting the right captain and crew is one of the most important things to consider when hiring a yacht charter in Key West.  In addition to selecting the right size and layout, having the right captain and crew is just as important.  We will pair you with the crew that is most knowledgeable about the yacht as well as the waters it moves in.

Captain and crew typically share one restroom on board and sleep in a crew cabin or one of the additional cabins on board.  This is something very important when selecting the right yacht for you and your guests.  If the yacht offers four cabins with four beds that each sleeps two adults, you may only have three bedrooms and beds.  This is because the crew (depending on the number of crew) will assume at least one cabin. This will limit your guest size or sleeping area.  Crew associated with Blue Ocean Yacht Charters Key West will sleep on the bed in the saloon to avoid taking up a bedroom on your boat charter.

Private Chefs and Provisioning
