The climate is deliciously tropical and yet tempered by cool ocean breezes. From Southern Florida you could cruise to Miami, Biscayne Bay, Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon, and Key West. Discover the natural beauty of the famous Florida Keys.
Charters are also available from other locations in Florida including Ft Lauderdale, perfect for visiting the Bahamas, or from Tampa and St Petesburg on the gulf coast.

Southern Florida is great for sailing year round, the most popular time of year being November through May. The wind is usually between 15 and 20 knots November through May, and 10 to 15 knots June through October. Navigation can be difficult due to numerous reefs.

There are regular flights from major US and Canada airports into Miami, Tampa, and Ft. Lauderdale airports.
