Miami Yacht Charters - You'll want to save some time either before or after your yacht charter to experience SoBe. Over the last ten years, South Beach has experienced a virtual renaissance of the arts and has become a favorite backdrop for the fashion and film industries.

The nearby "Art Deco" district is famous for its pastel, lovingly restored landmark hotels and architecture. Stroll down Ocean Drive and dine at a beachfront café. Or cruise on over to Lincoln Road outdoor pedestrian mall, where an eclectic mix of shops, art galleries, restaurants and live music reflects a truly international blend of Latin, Caribbean and European cultures.

The Miami Beach Marina is conveniently located in the heart of South Beach, at the corner of the MacArthur Causeway (836 East), and South Alton Road. It's about a 15-minute taxi ride from Miami International Airport; and just a crab claw's throw away from Joe's Stone Crab Restaurant, the oldest eatery on Miami Beach, famous for it's delicious stone crabs and seafood. (They even have "take-out" stone crabs you can bring back to your boat, to start your charter out right!)

Miami Beach Marina boosts a full range of amenities, including restaurants, gourmet grocery, dive shop, swimming pool, clean restrooms with showers, laundry, luxury mega-yachts and free parking.

More adventuresome sailors can head out for a trip to the Marquesas and Dry Tortugas. This itinerary requires advanced navigation skills, prior experience anchoring overnight; and a sense of self-reliance, since you are mostly out of VHF hailing range. The "Dry Tortugas" were named by early Spanish explorers, due to their resemblance to the sea turtles which were once so plentiful, and the fact that they are "dry", (i.e. there is no source of fresh water available).

Weather is a very important factor when planning a trip to the Dry Tortugas. Listen carefully to the local forecast and check with our Key West manager before leaving.
