Common Questions
Florida Keys Yacht Charter from Miami — FAQ
How long does it take to get from Miami to Key Largo?
By yacht, Miami to Key Largo is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours depending on the vessel and route. The cruise takes you through Biscayne Bay and along the coast — scenic and comfortable. Key Largo is the first island in the Keys chain and the closest to Miami.
Can we go to Key West in one day from Miami?
Key West is approximately 160 nautical miles from Miami — too far for a comfortable day trip by yacht. A 2-3 day charter is recommended for a Key West itinerary, with stops in Key Largo and Islamorada along the way. Alternatively, we offer one-way charters where you cruise to Key West and fly home from there.
Is the Florida Keys good for fishing?
The Florida Keys are one of the best fishing destinations in the world. Islamorada is known as the Sport Fishing Capital of the World. You can fish for tarpon, bonefish, permit, mahi-mahi, sailfish, grouper, and snapper depending on the season and location. Fishing equipment is available on our sport boats.
Do we need passports for the Florida Keys?
No. The Florida Keys are part of the United States — no passport required. This makes Keys charters a simpler alternative to Bahamas trips for guests who do not have passports.
What is the best season for a Keys charter?
The Florida Keys are a year-round destination. November through May offers the best weather — warm air, calm seas, and minimal rain. Lobster season runs from August through March. Tarpon season peaks in April through June. Every month has something to offer.
