Are you into water sports, diving or snorkelling, and basically the ‘beach by the day, nightlife in bars after dark’ kind of chilled lifestyle? The southernmost point in the United States, Key West, offers it all. Even Ernest Hemingway loved it. His house and museum can be found here. Former president, Harry S. Truman, also liked to spend winters here. Even the island’s accommodations, such as party hotels and hotels with in-room kitchen, offer top-notch amenities. Pleasant weather, delicious seafood cuisine, and architecture that pleases the eye make it a favourite spot for tourists and locals alike. How about experiencing it all from the boat? Hop on-board, where you can enjoy food, drinks, entertainment, and service from a smiling crew. Some of the boats even have a DJ and an open bar with unlimited drinks. And, if you are looking for something more private, customise your experience. Stay overnight, go fishing, or rent the full boat and be the captain. Check out our list of the best party boats in Key West, Florida.
