Every voyage begins with a question: where do you want to wake up tomorrow? We've charted three of the world's most extraordinary cruising grounds from our home port in Fort Lauderdale.

The Yachting Capital of the World

Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale — detail

Your voyage begins here. Fort Lauderdale is the undisputed yachting capital of the world — a city built around the water, where the Intracoastal Waterway winds through neighborhoods of glass and palm, and the Atlantic begins just beyond the inlet. Our private marina puts you in open water within minutes of boarding.

Itinerary Highlights

Las Olas Waterfront

Intracoastal Waterway

A 3,000-mile protected waterway stretching the length of the East Coast. Fort Lauderdale sits at its most spectacular stretch.

Port Everglades

One of the deepest natural harbors on the East Coast, home to the world's largest yacht-building and repair facilities.

Hillsboro Inlet

A short cruise north brings you to one of Florida's most scenic inlets, with pristine beaches and world-class fishing.

700 Islands. Infinite Possibility.

The Bahamas

The Bahamas
The Bahamas — detail

Just 55 miles east of Fort Lauderdale, the Bahamas is the world's most celebrated cruising ground — and for good reason. The water here defies description: shades of turquoise and jade that shift with the depth of the sand below. The Exumas alone offer 365 cays, one for every day of the year. We know them all.

Best ForWeek-long voyages, snorkeling, diving, and island-hopping
Travel TimeApprox. 8–12 hours from Fort Lauderdale
SeasonNovember through May (peak); year-round possible

Itinerary Highlights

The Exumas

A 120-mile chain of cays with some of the clearest water on earth. Swim with nurse sharks at Compass Cay, feed iguanas at Allen's Cay, and anchor off deserted sandbars.

Nassau & Paradise Island

The Bahamian capital offers world-class dining, the famous Atlantis resort, and a vibrant local culture just steps from the marina.

The Abacos

A sailor's paradise of protected harbors, colonial towns, and pristine barrier reefs. Hopetown's candy-striped lighthouse is one of the Caribbean's most photographed landmarks.

Eleuthera & Harbour Island

Pink sand beaches, world-class surf breaks, and the charming pastel cottages of Dunmore Town — one of the most beautiful small towns in the Atlantic.

The Last Frontier of American Paradise

Florida Keys

Florida Keys
Florida Keys — detail

The Florida Keys are unlike anywhere else in America — a 125-mile arc of coral islands trailing southwest from the mainland, connected by the legendary Overseas Highway. By sea, they reveal themselves differently: hidden channels through mangrove forests, world-record sport fishing grounds, and the living coral reef that runs their entire length.

Best ForSport fishing, diving, and multi-day coastal cruising
Travel TimeApprox. 6–10 hours from Fort Lauderdale
SeasonOctober through June (peak); summer possible

Itinerary Highlights

John Pennekamp Coral Reef

America's first undersea park. The reef system here is among the most biodiverse in the Atlantic — a world of color and life just below the surface.

Islamorada

The sport fishing capital of the world. Marlin, sailfish, tarpon, and bonefish in waters that have set more world records than anywhere else on earth.

Marathon & the Seven Mile Bridge

Anchor in the shadow of one of America's most iconic bridges. The waters here are calm, clear, and teeming with marine life.

Key West

The southernmost point in the continental US. Mallory Square sunsets, Duval Street, Hemingway's house, and the most storied bar scene in Florida.
