Notes from the host
40' Catamaran Including Sunset Sailing Excursions
This yacht is located at the beautiful Perry Hotel and Marina on Stock Island, Key West!
If your reservation is for two or three nights, you must pay our company for a two hour sunset sail, four hour excursion, eight hour excursion, or 24 hour excursion at the time of booking (see prices for excursions below).
If your reservation is four or more nights, you must hire a captain to move this yacht to another Marina for each night you stay over three nights (see cost below). You can also book a 24 hour excursion (most popular) instead of going to another marina for one or more nights over three nights. You are not required to book a timed excursion, if your reservation is for four or more nights.
You can only spend up to three nights on this yacht, all to yourself, tied to the dock, at the Perry Hotel and Marina due to marina rules (additional nights can be spent at another marina for an additional cost).
Excursions must be paid directly to our company at the time of booking. You can choose from any of the following, which includes the captains fee and fuel:
2 hr: $700 + tax & gratuity (sunset cruise only)
4 hr: $1150 + tax & gratuity
8 hr: $1650 + tax & gratuity
24 hr: $2150 + tax & gratuity
These excursions are the highlight of all our past guests and will make your experience memorable. On a four and eight hour excursion, you may learn to drive the yacht, snorkel the coral reef, fish from this boat, take in dolphin & sea turtle sightings, and more. A 24 hour charter is our most popular charter taking in all the activities of a day excursion and then spending a night anchored on the ocean. You can take in more than one excursion during your reservation period if you are staying more than two nights.
The weather is great any time of year for activities like snorkeling, fishing, catching lobster (seasonal), kayaking, paddle boarding, learning how to sail, scuba diving, and pure relaxation under a sunset cruise.
If your reservation is for four or more nights you must hire a captain to take you to one of the downtown Key West marinas where you can rent a slip at your expense (average downtown marina rate per night is $250+tax & electricity used) or take in a 24 hour excursion (most popular) instead of going to another marina for one or more nights over three nights. The captain will leave you at a marina overnight by yourselves for the duration of your reservation and deliver you back to the Perry Hotel and Marina. This is a great opportunity to enjoy downtown and within walking distance of the famous Duval Street (subject to availability). You would choose from a list of captains provided and pay the captain $450 plus gratuity roundtrip which includes fuel in cash at the time of your delivery. You are not required to pay for an excursion if staying 4 or more nights, however most people take in at least one excursion, as described above, during their stay.
You can cook yourselves in a fully furnished kitchen, have food catered, or hire a professional chef for an additional cost. It is customary in the charter industry for you to share your food and beverage with the Captain and mate. Provisioning service is also available on request for an additional cost.
The Perry Hotel is pristine and located in the middle of a turquoise paradise with amazing water clarity. Your stay will include access to 2 waterfront swimming pools, live music, fitness room, 3 restaurants, retail shops, marina showers, laundry & more. The Perry Hotel offers free shuttle service every day, to and from downtown Key West located nearby. The resort is located close to retail shops, grocery, restaurants, and attractions.
This one of a kind yacht that has bright windows surrounding it making views of the ocean amazing. Whether you're inside her modern and elegant interior or up high on the bridge deck, she will be a memory maker! This boat features a spacious master stateroom with an attached private bathroom and shower. Additionally two guest staterooms are divided by another bathroom and shower. This yacht offers a total of three bedrooms and two bathrooms on board.
A bareboat charter to the Dry Tortugas would require a minimum of five nights and you would have to purchase three-24 hour charters in addition to what you pay VRBO, giving you one night at the Dry Tortugas. You would stay at the Marquesas islands halfway on your way there and on your way back. This is truly a bucket list charter that will provide memories that will last a lifetime. The Dry Tortugas is too far to go and come back in one day.
The excursions/charters offered are discounted from the regular price and must be paid directly to our company outside of VRBO at the time of booking. Please inquire within if you’d like an anchorage further away or multiple anchorages at different locations for an additional cost.
We also offer bareboat day charters where you do not have to stay overnight on the boat. This type of charter must be booked directly through our company as VRBO is only set up for overnight accommodation bookings.
If you want to operate the boat or tender yourself you must book directly with our company to go through an approval process. Taking the vessel yourself (and not hiring a captain) is subject to prior experience on similar vessels.
We do not provide snorkel gear, & it is recommended you rent a full set for $10/day at a nearby dive shop to assure your gear will fit you properly. You can rent fishing gear here as well as this is not provided. Paddle board and kayak rentals are also available nearby and some companies will even deliver them to the marina.
The advertised price on this listing covers the cost of insurance that covers you and the crew during your reservation period as well as the cost to survey the boat after you leave. You will be required to undergo a bareboat contract and will take full responsibility of the operation and safety of the yacht, crew, and all passengers.
Guests must be able to walk up & down stairs inside the boat and be able to make a longer than usual step at times to get on and off the boat.
There is one security camera located in the cockpit outside this boat, pointed towards the outside of the boat, used for security purposes only between reservations. The camera can be blocked by a towel if you want during your stay. There are no cameras located inside the boat.
