Key Largo is a haven for sailors of every skill level — warm weather, calm waters, and steady breezes make it ideal for day trips, extended charters, and sunset cruises, protected within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
Winds are generally light to moderate, typically from the east or southeast, giving a comfortable, few-surprises sailing experience year-round. Visitors can choose from sailboats, powerboats, and catamarans, rented or chartered, crewed or bareboat.
Key Lime Sailing Club and Cottages is one great place to base a sailing trip — cozy, colorful cottages with free use of sailboats, kayaks, and paddleboards, in a peaceful, secluded cove with easy access to Key Largo's best sailing waters.
