Are You Looking for a
Sailing Adventure? Catamaran Sailing is the
way to go!!!
Let Captain Steve and Admiral Kathy be
your guide as they sail in the Florida Keys and
the Bahama Islands. We
offer daily sailing trips as well as cruise
packages.
 So
pack your bags and leave your troubles behind!
The
Catamaran
Kit
is a lovingly restored 38' long 21' beam (that's
how wide it is) Fountaine-Pajot Athena.
One
of the nice things about Catamarans is that they
are very stable which makes for a far more
comfortable ride; the other is the shallow draft
(that's how deep into the water it goes), which
allows us to go many more places in the shallow
waters around the Keys.
We
have made many improvements to the boat to make it
more comfortable and self-sufficient.
 This
beautifully furnished catamaran is centrally
located in 'America's Caribbean', the fabulous
Florida Keys. Whether you are spending a
week aboard or just going out for a 1/2 day, your
experience will be amazing. If you are
staying in one of the houses or on one of the
islands, we can pick you up right from your dock.
The serene
crystal clear warm waters of this Marathon
Florida location are occasioned by a variety of
wild life including visiting dolphins, sea
turtles, manatees,
parrot and angel fish, roosting pelicans,
great herons to name a few - perfect for nature
lovers and sport fishing enthusiasts. This is
a
perfect location for a worry free
vacation!
The Crew
This
is a mom and pop operation. Steve first crewed on
a 76' schooner in the great lakes as a teenager
and has had a love of water ever since, he is now
a USCG licensed Captain.
 Kathy took a bit of convincing to go sailing
(Steve played subliminal tapes under her pillow
every night that said "I want to go sailing, I
want to go sailing.") but, after experiencing the
stable platform a catamaran provides, now looks
forward to being aboard.
We
did most all the work refitting Kit and have
transferred some of the skills we picked up living
off grid on land to the boat. We have sailed all
around the Florida Keys and The Bahamas for many
years and look forward to sharing some of the
beautiful spots we've been to with you.
Itineraries / Packages
Sample itineraries: From a ½ day to a week long
live aboard we can work with you to fashion a
memorable sailing experience around the Florida
Keys or in the
Bahamian Exumas. Space for 1 to 6
people, Capt. Steve and "Admiral" Kathy aboard, no
sailing experience needed.
4
hour sunset cruise OR 4 hour sample sail: If you
are in the Keys for a short stay you have to get
away from land to experience the quiet beauty on
the water. These trips are based in Marathon.
Bring your own food and drinks.
8
hour day sailing trips: Leaving from Key Largo,
Marathon or Key West we'll take you out for a sail
to snorkel the reefs, going were no "cattle boat"
can go. These trips give you a bit more time to
relax and see a different side to the Keys. Bring
your own food/drinks.
2days & 1 night (10am to 4 pm next day): Allows
you to experience a bit of the live aboard life
where after spending a day
sailing/snorkeling/kicking back we anchor out in a
quiet cove for dinner as the sun sets or dinghy
into one of the many great restaurants. We can
provision for this trip or you can bring your own
food/drinks.
3 days & 2 nights: Allows enough time to travel up
and down the Keys a bit and to explore some
 of
the many bays, mangroves and reefs. Depending on
your interests we can concentrate on getting away
from it all by anchoring out or come into the many
beautiful harbors.
5days & 4nights in the Florida Keys: With this
much time we could start at Key Largo and take you
down to Key West, stopping along the way to
snorkel, bird watch, Relax! We can anchor out for
three nights and spend one at a marina. Or we can
sail form Key West to the Marquessas and then onto
Fort Jefferson. Regardless of where you'd like to
start or end this trip it allows plenty of time to
get a taste of the live aboard life.
5
days and 4 nights in the Exumas, Bahamas: Explore
the absolutely beautiful Exumas Land and Sea Park
or hang out with hundreds of other live aboards in
Elizabeth Harbor, Georgetown. If a stay at Emerald
Bay is more to your liking we can stop there, or
we can pursue the many little anchorages giving
you peace and quiet surrounded by the Blue, clear
waters of the Bahamas.

SAMPLE MENUS:
We try to be
flexible about the types of food we serve. We
can accommodate various dietary needs if we have
advance notice. (Vegetarian, low carb, etc.) We
also try to incorporate local and seasonal items
such as shrimp and fish when we're in the Keys,
or conch and fish when in the Bahamas.
The day's activities might indicate lighter fare
on occasion but dinner is usually the main meal.
Breakfast might be an egg dish (green chili
quiche, omelet's, frittata, egg in a frame,
scrambled, fried, French toast, etc.) or
pancakes (multi-grain, potato, whole wheat,
buttermilk or scotch) with some sort of meat
(bacon, sausages, ham,), fresh fruit, and
beverage.
Or
maybe you'd prefer a smoothie, apple slices and
nut butter and a bowl of oatmeal. Lunches
usually consist of sandwiches, salads, and/or
soup, fruit, beverage, cookies. (For example;
Mexican Chicken soup, quesadillas, grapes,
cranberry/chocolate chip cookies, beverage, or
maybe grilled Italian sausages and hot dogs,
baked beans, deviled eggs, potato salad and
melon wedges)
Being on the water seems to stimulate the
appetite so munchies also make an appearance to
take the edge off your hunger. They might
include but are not limited to nuts, chips,
crackers, string cheese, sushi, fruit and
crudités. When we're anchored for the night, you
can relax and drink rum punch and nibble on
rosemary walnuts.
Dinner always includes a nice green salad and
fresh fruit offering. One night might be spicy
shrimp, crusty French bread, onion pie and
chocolate dream cake, and another might be tuna
stroganoff and rice or chicken and biscuits, or
grilled chicken breasts, grilled mahi mahi or
grouper.
Please let us know if you have any strong likes
or dislikes so that we can accommodate them when
provisioning the boat and planning the menus.
