South Florida

DAY ONE

Miami Beach

Welcome aboard! South Beach, nicknamed SoBe, warmly welcomes you with its vibrant variety of cultures as you board the yacht at the Miami Beach Marina. The South Beach section of Miami is a colorful hub of entertainment that encompasses some of the liveliest nightclubs, restaurants, boutiques and hotels in the city. Since Joe’s Stone Crab is located at the marina, you can either choose to dine there or onboard!

DAY TWO

No Name Harbor - Stiltsville

The following day is filled with activities yet there are plenty of relaxing options to choose from as you make your way to No Name Harbor and Stiltsville. Frolic around with the water toys the yacht has to offer as you marvel at Stiltsville’s unique homes. These soft-hued homes hover over the ocean and pretend to be boats from afar. Just south of Stiltsville, the Biscayne National Park spans over 172,000 acres and offers the NPS’s only underwater archeological trail. As the sun is silently creeping away, you can catch dinner on the yacht’s tender!

DAY THREE

Stiltsville - Ocean Reef Club

After a relaxing cruise heading South, you’ll be delighted by the creation and history of this ideal, exclusive community of like-minded people. Morris Baker established the fishing camp and 26-room lodge in 1945; the subsequent development has been built with the guidance and input from the ORC’s members. There are numerous activities to choose from as you explore the facilities that have evolved over the years. There is an 18-hole course, a spa, a tidal swimming lagoon, and several restaurants to choose from to have dinner!

DAY FOUR

Ocean Reef Club - Key Largo

On this next voyage, you’ll be making your way to a rendezvous with new friends, the dolphins! The dolphins merrily swim along as you cruise the keys but if there are no sightings, there are lagoons that offer swimming with dolphins in Key Largo. There are so many activities to choose from in Key Largo: you can head to John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, The Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park, or be awe-struck by the underwater delights of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. After an active day, unwind onboard with a dashing sunset dinner.

DAY FIVE

Key Largo - Marathon

Embark on a peaceful cruise to Marathon in the morning as you’re briefed on the different varieties of sea-life that you’ll be meeting during your diving and snorkeling excursion in Marathon, where the biodiversity is vast in its beauty. For the conservationists or those interested in the preservation of wildlife, there are several dolphin and turtle rescues to visit where you’ll learn about the conservation methods used. A picturesque dinner is planned at the Butterfly Cafe, a sophisticated restaurant with beautiful decor.

DAY SIX

Marathon - Little Palm Island

As you move further south towards the Lower Keys, you begin to feel a spark of magic as you traverse the small uncharted islands located between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic. After reaching Little Palm Island Resort, you’ll immediately notice why this little island is considered one of the best in the country. The accommodations take you to a realm of relaxation, the food is prepared carefully to complement the serenity of the atmosphere, and the beaches embrace you with their warm waters. The evening arrives with dinner at the “Dining Room.” A moment you’ll surely bask in!

DAY SEVEN

Little Palm Island - Dry Tortugas

On this overnight cruise, you travel the cosmos in your sleep as the yacht travels beyond Key West and into Dry Tortugas, a historical fort where the echoes of early Spanish conquistadors can be still be heard. Grab your explorer’s hat and head over to the enormous Fort Jefferson for a history lesson on the island’s notoriety as a pit stop for not only humans, but for birds of all kinds. Get ready for the most popular dive in the keys! The Windjammer wreck is an iron-hulled ship that wrecked off Loggerhead Key in 1901. Revel in the radiant beauty of the coral reefs in the Pulaski Shoals; they contain a series of reef heads and the remains of other wrecks all surrounded by schools of fish, making this seem like a life-sized aquarium. The evening is spent sharing stories about the day’s special sightings as you cruise back to Key West and enjoy a pirate theme dinner onboard.
