The Party's Over, but it's always a FUN Festival in Key West!


The Fantasy Fest was a little bit rainy but, we had fun just the same; after all, with a theme like "Aquatic Afrolic", who cares? The snow and ice is already hitting places where friends and family are from Cape Cod to Colorado, and the rainy season is coming to a close here in the Keys. We have a stay charter we call the "Key West Sampler" for two checking into Obsession tomorrow and Nick and guest will stay at the docks the first night, relax and get used to the boat and get in step with the boat, stroll along the docks and take in a few sounds and sights, then Tuesday we come with their food and provisions, take them out on a 24 hour adventure sailing, snorkeling, fishing, exploring about ten miles out into the more natural Florida Keys. They will swim and relax, beach comb an uninhabited island, our first mate and captain treat them to a dinner under the stars (yes, we expect to have starry night with a nice slip of moon) and after an overnight at anchor, bring them back gradually the docks, after checking out a couple of reefs, and just sailing lightly back into the dock where they will spend one more night, maybe taking in the Duval night crawling spots. We cater to your whims and whatever package you choose, you can adapt to fit any day, tell us what you want! Come down and sail away with us! DECEMBER IS OPEN right up to the 23rd. THERE ARE A FEW OPENINGS BEGINNING AND END OF NOVEMBER.

Facebook: Los Angeles comes to Key West! Two crew members, including a director, recently stayed two nights at sea with www.keywestsailingadventure.com! We will protect their identities for now but let's just say the happened to be in the neighborhood (Miami) working on a new fall show!

Stay tuned for pictures and details if they allow us to post on our Face Book page under our company name or my personal name (Albert Tropea, Jr.) They had so much fun 10 miles at sea, wanting to be "away from it all even downtown Key West" for a couple of days. Swimming, snorkeling, exploring, sailing and fishing were on the itinerary! Frenchy, first mate and her friend Tammy were invited to take on the town when the crew returned from sea, exclaiming praises for their fun two day explore. They gave us their special diet needs which we are more personally concerned about more than ever, with more people turning to either vegetarian, or in their case, organic and high protein diet. Within reason and available shopping in Key West, we fulfill your menu needs for your trip out on anchor on our Key West Sampler packages or any overnights at sea. It is our goal to provide only the best service we can! Relax, and restore your energy with a special package with us. Make up your own like they did! It's summer all the time in Key West! We will have temps in the upper 80's from October (still have a few openings) November (almost sold out; only six days left where you can choose one of the boats) and December is mild too; so make plans now before it's too late and cold and grey where you are this winter.

Call any day of the week, 9 am - 9 pm and we will fill the bill on your dream vacation get away for up to six! At the dock, at sea or overseas!

Ship's bLog another summer wedding on Wild Thing!

Ship's bLog-It was a magical day Wednesday, August 24 as Andrea and Mark with family and friends all from California choose Key West and our sailboat to launch their new life together; the clouds looked like angel wings and clover leaves. Wild Thing was in the middle of two huge systems; one side with rainbows, the other with fascinating shaped clouds that looked like the heavens opened up and smiled! It was an emotional but happy day for everyone. We sailed "into the blue" right down the middle.

History lessons; My wife Ronda is now a bug hunter; with a Corpus Christi background, an uncle as a supreme shrimper, and Arkansas child hood I knew she would be a bug hunter. She started baiting her own fish hooks at five years old. Got her limit on first day first time hunt; just snagged up those bugs while I sat there and watched with a Corona with my Friend Ken from California. She's good with a net mind you!

Anyway, we found some history for you -
good history from the book "Yesterday's Florida Keys" quote;

As early as 1875 Tavernier and surround islands, including offshore Rodriguez Key, Julia Key and Planter would be producing up to one million crates of pineapples a year along with key limes, tomatoes, and melons. Capt. Ben Baker settled what is now Planter and grew pineapples about 1866. Sam and Caroline Johnson came 20 years later to farm at Planter and give it its name.

By 1850, several previously occupied offshore islands near Tavernier showed no sign of human use except for the stacked crawfish traps commercial fishermen might keep on them. On one of the islands, Bottlepoint Key, six miles into Florida Bay from Tavernier, was located one of the few Florida breeding areas for the distinctive Roseate spoonbill. In the spring of 1940 when the breeding colony was discovered, Robert Porter Allen director of sanctuaries for the National Audubon Society, came to the island to live while studying the birds. The colony has increased and thrived.

We love our bug hunting for spiny lobsters, gorgeous waters and fowl, and you will too.

Ship's bLog dolphins swimming with us and sharks jumping out of the water playing???keywestsailingadventure.com

Ship's bLog Hi anyone out there following our great adventures we have something amazing over the weekend! A Dad with his boys joined us for one of our Key West Samplers and on the second day with us stayed at anchor overnight. Frenchie and I went out with them and let the boys steer the boat, fish and snorkel. While we were at one of the reefs, a shark lept out of the water spinning and rolling like a dolphin! Just a month ago, we have had wild dolphins join our charter and swim around the snorkelers! we think that maybe the "like" keywestsailingadventure as well!

I tried to send over some pix and may have to check and see; we were out at sea so far that it may be possible we were too far out from it all!

Call 305 304 4911 or email us - boomboomcharters@aol.com and join us for your own personal adventure. We can design our packages around your group, family or friends.
