During these times of social distancing, chartering a sailboat might just be the perfect vacation\u2014just you and your family or a few close friends aboard and the opportunity to be just as secluded as you wish. Now there are two more domestic bases to choose from in sunny Florida: Coconut Grove and St. Petersburg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Dream Yacht Charter<\/a> is opening their new base in Coconut Grove, which is located in central Miami, on August 7, 2020. This base is convenient to all that Southeast Florida has to offer, from Biscayne Bay through the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas. Enjoy excellent diving, fishing and sailing, not to mention some of the best sunsets anywhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The Miami fleet<\/a> includes an Astrea 42, Bali 4.5 and a Fountaine Pajot Motor Yacht 37, available for bareboat and skippered charters. Guests will be able to sail one way and start or end their charters in Key West, Key Largo and Marathon, as well as Miami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
