Day 1
: Head out of Key Largo Harbor Marina and sail up to Pennekamp State Park. Enjoy snorkeling and diving her fabulous reefs. This state park offers guided educational environmental tours, snorkeling tours, guided dives, picnic areas, and designated swimming areas. You can enjoy the sunset and a picnic your first night.
Day 2
: Wake up at Pennekamp: Spend the morning continuing the exploration of Pennekamp. In the afternoon, Sail back towards key largo. Anchor off Rodriquez key and grill out for sunset.
Day 3
: Key Largo and Islamorada boast the best diving in the keys with a range of underwater sights to see including deep and shallow wrecks and natural reef. The keys hold world class reef, this is a highlight you don't want to miss! Anchor off Indian Key ( a sandy beach island). There is also a great sandbar in front of holiday isle that makes a nice "day beach".
Day 4: Continue heading South to Bahia Honda State Park. Enjoy beaches, picnic areas, a great anchorage, and diving/snorkeling the nearby Looe Key Underwater Preserve.
Day 5: Sail to Key West enjoy the historic sights and fun of Old Towne Key West.
Day 6
: Head back up to Bahia Honda State Park or find a nice anchorage in Hawks Channel.
Day 7
: Cruise to Marathon's boot key harbor for the next nights anchorage.
Day 8: Cruise up to Hawks Cay Resort. This is the one marina I highly recommend. They offer full use of the resort with transient dockage which is great because they have excellent pools, etc.
Day 9 : Sail back up to the key largo area snorkeling, fishing, kayaking along the way.
Day 10
: Rise early to enjoy breakfast on the waterfront. Clean and prep the boat for your check-out at noon.
Note: We suggest leaving the boat in key west if you want to do the Dry Tortugas. The sail from key west back to key largo is 24hrs motor sailing. Even if you break this into 6 hr chunks it takes 4 days...the best popping around is north of Bahia Honda so you spend quite a bit of time getting there and back for little benefit...
