Two Worlds, One Journey

Florida Superyacht Charter: Fort Lauderdale to Dry Tortugas & Bimini

This two-week journey is a luxurious loop that blends the energy of South Florida, the island charm of the Florida Keys, the secluded beauty of the Dry Tortugas, and the crystal-clear waters of Bimini, Bahamas. Each stop offers a unique experience—from reef diving and dolphin encounters to historic forts and chic beach clubs—creating a charter that’s equal parts relaxation and discovery.

The ideal time to charter this itinerary is between November and May, when the weather is dry, the water is warm, and the anchorages are peaceful. It’s a perfect choice for those who want to explore both domestic and international destinations without venturing too far from the U.S. mainland.

  • Two Worlds in One Journey: Experience a rare “double-destination” luxury yacht charter that seamlessly blends the cosmopolitan energy of Miami and Fort Lauderdale with the remote, turquoise tranquility of Bimini and the Dry Tortugas.
  • Underwater & Historical Exploration: Dive the legendary SS Sapona shipwreck in the Bahamas and explore the masonry of Fort Jefferson, contrasting vibrant marine life with rich maritime history.
  • The Full Florida Keys Experience: Navigate the complete arch of the Keys, from the upscale seclusion of Key Biscayne and the sportfishing haven of Marathon to the vibrant, Victorian charm of Key West.
