What's the itinerary?+
• Start your day on land with access to a secluded beach, a tranquil spot away from bustling public areas. Your included day pass grants you the option to rent beach amenities such as shaded umbrellas, picnic tables, and BBQ grills at reasonable prices should you choose to enhance your visit. While relaxing on the beach with a book, wading in the water, or enjoying the relaxed island vibe, you'll ease into your experience in the Keys prior to your time on the water. • As the afternoon transitions into evening, board a mini pontoon boat for a guided sunset cruise. After a comprehensive safety briefing, you will operate your own boat, trailing a lead boat along a leisurely 6.5-mile route through the calm waters of Blackwater Sound. • Navigate along the coastline, viewing stunning waterfront properties and elegant island homes, each revealing a story of life in the Keys. The pace is tranquil, the water is calm, and a gentle breeze serves as a reminder that daily life’s stresses have been left behind. This segment focuses on appreciating the vibrant sky, sparkling water, and soothing sounds of the area. • The journey then continues across Lake Surprise, a vast and serene body of water with a surprising history. Early surveyors mapping Henry Flagler’s Overseas Railroad in 1902 were unaware of the lake's existence until it came into view. Building the railroad here involved over a year of dredging through thick peat to establish a stable foundation. • Following that, glide into the storied Jewfish Creek passage, a narrow and scenic channel that links Blackwater Sound to Florida Bay. This route is beloved by residents and visitors alike, providing a unique viewpoint of the Keys. Keep watch for seabirds, manatees, and occasionally dolphins, as nature often makes unexpected appearances. • As you proceed, pass by the vibrant shore of Gilbert’s Resort, where the sounds of music often blend with the lively spirit of island life. This area presents a perfect counterbalance to the tranquility of the sound, illustrating how the Keys can embody both peace and vibrancy simultaneously. Just across from Gilbert’s lies Houseboat Row, a colorful collection of floating homes that resemble a small waterfront community, each showcasing its own unique character and offering insight into one of the Keys' distinctive lifestyles on the water. • Ultimately, the sunset serves as the highlight of your journey. Ensuring precise timing, your return trip is designed to have you arriving near the dock just as the sun sets on the horizon. The sky shifts into a dramatic palette of fiery oranges, soft pinks, and deep purples, mirroring off the serene waters in a way that is difficult to capture with a camera.
