Day 1
Arrive Ft. Lauderdale and board at noon. Depart for Biscayne Bay, and anchor for the afternoon. Spend the day playing with the water toys and visit one of south Florida's leading attractions, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens - an historic Miami landmark. We can spend the night anchored in the Bay, or how about docking at the new Dinner Key Marina which is just a short walk from fabulous Coconut Grove. A very colorful evening for all can be had in the Grove - rickshaw rides through town provide an interesting approach, comedy clubs and window shopping are a favorite or simply people watching can be fun.

Day 2
Hang Gliding on the Bay after breakfast followed by a cruise to the Ocean Reef Club, Fishing , swimming, SCUBA diving and any other water sports of your choice would make for a lovely afternoon - or how about renting a golf cart far an Island tour?

Day 3
Cruise to Little Palm Island. To stay at this first-class resort is very costly by land, but guest(s) who arrive by water can find relatively affordable dockage with full use of the outstanding facilities. You may choose beach side watersports or five-star dining or even take a trip out to the beautiful Looe Key National Sanctuary with its variety of tropical fish and corals.

Day 4
Almost 70 miles (112.9 km) west of Key West lies a cluster of seven islands,composed of coral reefs and sand, called the Dry Tortugas. Along with the surrounding shoals and waters, they make up Dry Tortugas National Park. The area is known for its famous bird and marine life, and its legends of pirates and sunken gold. Ft. Jefferson, the largest of the 19th century American coastal forts is a central feature.

The Tortugas were first discoverd by Ponce de Leon in 1513. Abundant sea turtles or "tortugas" provisioned his ships with fresh meat, but there was no fresh water-the tortugas were dry. Since the days of Spanish exploration,the reefs and shoals of the Dry Tortugas have been a serious hazard to navigation and the site of hundreds of shipwrecks.

U.S. military attention was drawn to the keys in the early 1800's due to their strategic location in the Florida Straits. Plans were made for a massive fortress and construction began in 1846, but the fort was never completed. The invention of the rifled cannon made it obsolete. As the military value of Fort Jefferson waned, its pristine reefs, abundant sea life and impressive numbers of birds grew in value. In 1935, President Franklin Roosevelt set aside Fort Jefferson and the surrounding waters as a national monument. The area was redesignated as Dry Tortugas National Park in 1992 to protect both the historical and natural features.

Day 5
Cruise to Key West, this southernmost U.S. community is unique in every way. A thriving colony of artists and writers, Key West offers superb shopping and sightseeing, diving and boating, dining and night- life. Beautiful sunsets after a full day of people-watching make this one of our most popular stops. Take in the sights along colorful Duval Street, shop at Mallory Square and savor the most beautiful sunsets in the world. Key West is home to a thriving colony of artists and writers. Your best vantage point for some interesting people watching is at one of the many sidewalk cafes. This lively port city is also the perfect venue for diving, boating and all around good times

Day 6
Return to Occan Reef Club and dive at nearby John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, the first undersea park in the United States, , and the adjacent Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, which cover approximately 178 nautical square miles of coral reefs, seagrass beds and mangrove swamps. The park extends 3 miles into the Atlantic Ocean and is approximately 25 miles in length. These areas were established to protect and preserve a portion of the only living coral reef in the continental United States.

The park contains a wide variety of tropical vegetation, shore birds and marine life. And while the mangrove swamps and tropical hammocks offer visitors a unique and interesting experience, it is the coral formations and associated marine life that most park visitors come to enjoy. The coral reefs at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park are among the most beautiful and diverse of all living communities.

Day 7
We can make our way back to the Miami area and spend the night at Miarni Beach Marina - enjoying the flavor and flair of the newly revitalized South Beach Area, or head up to the Turnberry Isle. Turnberry has all the comforts of the finest yacht harbors on the Mediterranean and all the luxuries of a premier American resort, including a golf course, tennis and first class dining.
