Florida Keys is a place not only for vacationers who love action-filled activities but also for those who seek quietness and relaxation. While active water sports, such as swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking, are a must-try, a day cruise and a sunset sail by the sea will surely relieve your mind and body. Off the coast is Duval Street, a place for historic spots, galleries, and museums, such as Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum. Key West also has many beautiful resorts and hotels. However, if you want to experience morning coffee and late-night drinks while looking at ocean views, check out this list of top yacht charters in Florida Keys, Florida.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 11, 2024.
