Florida Keys
Between visits to the Florida Keys and the 5 months we spent living on our boat in the Florida Keys, we compiled some of the best places to eat, snorkel, and paddleboarding spots in our travel guides!
Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway
The Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway extends from Portsmouth, Virginia, to Brownsville, Texas. We boated the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway twice and shared daily vlogs.
St. Johns River
The St. Johns River is 310 miles (498 km) long and is navigable from Jacksonville to Sanford. Our St. John’s River Cruising Guide shares marinas, free docks, restaurants, and sights to see so you can have an enjoyable journey.
Okeechobee Waterway
The Okeechobee Waterway connects the Gulf of Mexico, around Fort Myers, to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway at Stuart. This 154-mile (247 km) long man-made waterway goes through the largest lake in Florida. Our Okeechobee Waterway Cruising Guide shares marinas, free docks, restaurants, and sights to see so you can have an enjoyable journey.
Gulf Intracoastal Waterway
The Gulf Intracoastal Waterway extends from Fort Myers to Brownsville, Texas. We boated the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway from Mobile, Alabama, to Florida and shared daily vlogs of our journey.
Florida Big Bend
Florida’s Big Bend takes boaters along the coast, taking you back to Old Florida. We share the history of these places, unique things to do, where to eat, and more in our Boating Guide to the Big Bend!
Gulf Crossing vs. Big Bend
Boaters traveling from the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway to the west coast of Florida have to decide if they’ll travel across the Gulf of Mexico or along the coast, known as the Big Bend! Are you wondering which route is best for you? We share the pros and cons of each route, things to consider, and more!
