Miami - Key West, Fl 7 Day Yacht Itinerary We Offer an Experience MIAMI - KEY WEST, FL 7 DAY YACHT ITINERARY WE OFFER AN EXPERIENCE This sample itinerary takes in some of Florida’s best spots, running south from the beach party capital of Miami, to the Florida Keys, a stunning coral cay archipelago that feels worlds away from the bustle of mainland USA. MIAMI - KEY WEST ITINERARY - 7 DAY A TREASURE FOR TRAVELERS FLORIDA KEYS [email protected] MIAMI - KEY WEST ITINERARY - 7 DAY DAY 1 MIAMI Arrive to sunny Florida via Miami International Airport for your first day of charter. Start with a short cruise around the Bay and along the Intercoastal Waterway to view the luxurious homes on Fisher, Star, Hibiscus and Palm Island. Embrace the experience that is South Beach with its cacophony of languages, array of ethnic restaurants, throbbing beat of the Latin music and dance the night away at one of the all-night clubs! On the way south, pass by Key Biscayne, where former USA President Nixon had his vacation house, and the legendary houses of Stiltsville. As the skyline of Miami disappears you will notice the low lying islands of the Florida Keys. Stop at Elliott Key (Biscayne National Park) or one of the reefs nearby, for a refreshing swim in the pristine water. [email protected] MIAMI - KEY WEST ITINERARY - 7 DAY DAY 2 KEY BISCAYNE The secluded island of Key Biscayne, Florida, sits on the beautiful Biscayne Bay. Located south of Downtown Miami and north of Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne touts miles of golden sand beaches and quaint, quiet neighborhoods. Key Biscayne is a picturesque blend of low- key local flavor and relaxed tourist destination; it’s the perfect place to unwind, relax and connect with one of Miami’s best assets? Its natural beauty. The palm tree-lined streets and breezy island temperatures made Key Biscayne an ideal spot for building some popular attractions into the natural landscape. The Crandon Park Tennis Center is home to the Sony Ericsson Open tournament every March, and Crandon Park Golf Course’s intriguing terrain puts it among the top 50 public courses in Florida. Tropical foliage lines the Key Biscayne road to Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Recreation Area, where the beach invites swimming or kayaking and the historic Cape Florida lighthouse is open for tours. [email protected] MIAMI - KEY WEST ITINERARY - 7 DAY DAY 3 KEY LARGO The first in the chain of the Florida Keys, Kay Largo is one of the top diving areas in the US. Don your yacht’s dive gear and explore the world’s largest artificial reef, the huge shipwreck of the USS Spiegel Grove (over 500ft in length), and the extraordinary John Pennekamp Coral Reef Underwater State Park with its Christ of the Deep statue. Return to the yacht for cocktails on deck with views over mangrove forests. [email protected] MIAMI - KEY WEST ITINERARY - 7 DAY DAY 4 ISLAMORADA The ‘Village of Islands’ boast the largest Florida Keys fishing fleet and one would guess that being dubbed the “Sport Fishing Capital of the World” makes that possible. Islamorada means “purple isles” and from a look around at the resorts and shops you can indeed see what they are talking about. The area has a focus on fishing but there are plenty of other things to do and see. Other activities include water sports, kayaking, jet skis, parasailing, boating and sunset cruises. There are some great waterfront restaurants that are worth a visit if you want to see some of the local color of Islamorada. [email protected] MIAMI - KEY WEST ITINERARY - 7 DAY DAY 5 MARATHON KEY Marathon, Florida is considered the heart of the Florida Keys because of its location in the middle of the island chain. The area of Marathon consists of many Keys or islands starting with Long Key, the Conch Keys, Duck Key, Grassy Key, Boot Key, Crawl Key and Pigeon Key. Marathon is separated from the Lower Florida Keys on the south end by the Seven Mile Bridge. This bridge is famous and has been seen in many movies and is host to the Seven Mile Bridge Run each year. There are several excellent restaurants that serve fresh seafood and some good shops for visitors to purchase crafts from local artists. Marathon has some very nice communities including Key Colony Beach and Sombrero Beach. [email protected] MIAMI - KEY WEST ITINERARY - 7 DAY DAY 6 KEY WEST Key West is a 90mile cruise from Miami, Florida. The laid back lifestyle, southern charm and Caribbean flavor are what make Key West what it is today. Figures throughout history have visited Key West, some making it their permanent home for a while, others enjoying the tropical climate while they escape the harsh winter. Key West is a great place to experience diving, or snorkel and view many species of fish and coral on the only coral reef in North America. The sun drenched hospitality of our island will charm you. It has already made more than one million people come back and visit each year. [email protected] MIAMI - KEY WEST ITINERARY - 7 DAY DRY TORTUGAS DAY 7 NATIONAL PARK Dry Tortugas National Park is situated about 68 miles (109 km) west of Key West. The park is noted for abundant sea life, tropical bird breeding grounds, colorful coral reefs, and legends of shipwrecks and sunken treasures. Its centerpiece is Fort Jefferson, a massive but unfinished coastal fortress. Activities include snorkeling, picnicking, birdwatching, scuba diving, saltwater fishing and kayaking.

  • Long-Range Interpretive Plan, Dry Tortugas National Park
    LONG-RANGE INTERPRETIVE PLAN Dry Tortugas National Park 2003 Cover Photograph: Aerial view of Fort Jefferson on Garden Key (fore- ground) and Bush Key (background). COMPREHENSIVE INTERPRETIVE PLAN Dry Tortugas National Park 2003 LONG-RANGE INTERPRETIVE PLAN Dry Tortugas National Park 2003 Prepared by: Department of Interpretive Planning Harpers Ferry Design Center and the Interpretive Staff of Dry Tortugas National Park and Everglades National Park INTRODUCTION About 70 miles west of Key West, Florida, lies a string of seven islands called the Dry Tortugas. These sand and coral reef islands, or keys, along with 100 square miles of shallow waters and shoals that surround them, make up Dry Tortugas National Park. Here, clear views of water and sky extend to the horizon, broken only by an occasional island. Below and above the horizon line are natural and historical treasures that continue to beckon and amaze those visitors who venture here. Warm, clear, shallow, and well-lit waters around these tropical islands provide ideal conditions for coral reefs. Tiny, primitive animals called polyps live in colonies under these waters and form skeletons from cal- cium carbonate which, over centuries, create coral reefs. These reef ecosystems support a wealth of marine life such as sea anemones, sea fans, lobsters, and many other animal and plant species. Throughout these fragile habitats, colorful fishes swim, feed, court, and thrive. Sea turtles−−once so numerous they inspired Spanish explorer Ponce de León to name these islands “Las Tortugas” in 1513−−still live in these waters. Loggerhead and Green sea turtles crawl onto sand beaches here to lay hundreds of eggs.

  • Sample Itinerary: Dry Tortugas – One Week*
    Sample Itinerary: Dry Tortugas – One Week* Day 1 – Depart out of Marathon in the evening and sail to the Dry Tortugas. (107 NM) It will take anywhere from 12 to 16 hours to make this passage. You should try to arrive in day light hours so that your approach is easier. Day 2 – Arrive at the island group known as the Dry Tortugas. This is the most isolated and least visited national park in the United States. You should plan to spend two nights here but if the weather deteriorates be flexible enough to cut it short and head back to Key West. There are no services out on these islands so you should plan to be self sufficient while in this remote area. Day 3 – Go ashore on Garden Key and tour Fort Jefferson National Monument. This was originally built in the mid 1800’s as a military fort to be used by Union forces during the Civil War. The fort was converted to a prison whose most famous inmate was Dr. Mudd of Lincoln’s time. Day 4 – Snorkel the reefs surrounding the islands. Go ashore on Loggerhead Key and/or Hospital Key for a cookout, just be sure to clean up well and leave as little of a footprint as possible. Bush Key offers great bird watching from your yacht. Bush Key is a bird sanctuary and landing is prohibited. Day 5 – Depart the Dry Tortugas early in the morning and sail to the uninhabited island group of the Marquesas. (44 NM) Be careful of Rebecca Shoal on the way and arrive before dark.

  • Big Coppitt Johnsonville Subdivision Road Mitigation Project
    Monroe County Big Coppitt Key Johnsonville Subdivision Road Mitigation Project GIP Project Description Page 1 of 7 Monroe County Big Coppitt Key Johnsonville Subdivision Road Mitigation Project Community Development Block Grant – Mitigation Program General Infrastructure Program Big Coppitt Key - Johnsonville Subdivision Road Mitigation Project PROJECT DESCRIPTION Purpose and Description: Monroe County is the Southernmost County in the Continental United States. It is comprised of the Florida Keys, which are a string of over 800 low-lying islands stretching 130 miles in length and connected by only one road in and out, the Overseas Highway (US1). This grant application requests $8,514,819 in Community Development Block Grant- Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) grant funding to improve roadways in the Johnsonville subdivision located on Big Coppitt Key by designing and constructing an engineered storm water collection, treatment and disposal system. Figure 1 details the location of the project. This project will protect access to 86 residential homes that are subject to frequent and persistent flooding due to storms, tides, and that are at risk for future sea level rise impacts. The Big Coppitt Johnsonville subdivision drainage improvement project site is an approximately 18-acre area in a residential neighborhood that is located on the north side of Big Coppitt Key at mile marker 10 in the lower keys. The roads on the western side of the subdivision are at low elevation and frequently flood during rain events. The tidally influenced groundwater is high and the area does not drain naturally. Public Works crews are frequently dispatched to the area to pump storm water out of this low area to prevent water from flooding on adjacent properties.

  • Fitzpatrick's Miami River Plantation
    Richard Fitzpatrick's South Florida, 1822-1840 Part II: Fitzpatrick's Miami River Plantation By Hugo L. Black III* During the 1820's, most of the land in southeast Florida was owned by the government. By 1825, only six private claims from the Spanish period had been validated: the Polly Lewis, Jonathan Lewis, and Rebecca Hagan (Egan) Donations on the South side of the Miami River, the James Hagan (Egan) Donation on the North side of the Miami River, the Mary Ann Davis Donation on Key Biscayne, and the Frankee Lewis Donation on the New River.1 Notwithstanding the lack of settlement, even during this period, southeast Florida's suitability for plantations was recognized. James Egan emphasized this suitability in the following advertisement run on numerous occasions in the Key West Register during 1829, in which he offered his land on the Miami River for Sale: For Sale A Valuable Tract of LAND Near Cape Florida Situated on the Miami River. The Land is very good and will produce Sugar Cane and Sea Island Cotton, equal if not superior to any other part of the *Hugo Black, III, is a resident of Miami, a former state legislator, a graduate of Yale, and presently attending law school at Stanford University.
