About this property

PLEASE READ!

The Salty Conch is a 30ft monohull sailboat that was brought to Key Largo after sailing the Atlantic Ocean twice. This is a truly and lovely adventure for people who loves nature and falling asleep watching the stars. The sailboat is moored in the ocean surrounded by nature and wildlife. As soon as you park your car, the motorized dinghy will be waiting for you to use at the dock. A 10 minute ride through the ocean will take you to the sailboat. A little bit of agility is required for your stay: to use the dinghy and moving around the sailboat.

. 2 single kayaks will be waiting for you to enjoy and connect with nature, discover the island of Rodriguez Key and the Sandbar. Courtesy snacks and speakers will set you up for a relaxing vibe over the water. Manatees and dolphins share the ocean with us too.
A cooler, a grill and a little stove are there for cooking options. Italian press is provided for breakfast. The sailboat is powered with solar energy making it possible to have fresh water, light, fans.
Reception is good but there is no Wi Fi in the sailboat. USB charger available. not possible to plug anything that is not 12v.

This is not a fancy stay. It is more like glamping over the water. Linens and towels are fresh and good quality.
The sailboat is powered by solar energy only and has a fresh water capacity of 60 gallons.

Turn off your phone and relax but, if you're staying over 3 nights it is important to keep phone charged to communicate your needs with me.

A 2hp dinghy is provided for you to move back and fourth from the sailboat. If you don't feel like cooking, there are many restaurants around the area.

You will receive an email from me with several location pins of cool spots to explore, and instructions of how to use the dinghy and how to operate everything inside the sailboat.

Come and discover the Salty Conch Sailboat! ****No refund for bad weather or high winds. rescheduling available****

Awesome Adventure

This adventure takes a little preparing. Bring a good amount of drinking water and easy to prepare foods. We stayed 2 nights in Jan. Weather was nice. Swimsuits during the day and a little chilly in the evening. Surprisingly it was so easy to fall asleep rocking on the waves. I toally could have stayed one more night of peace and quiet.

Unique Weekend Sailboat Experience: Camping Vibes, Florida Heat, and Doggie Welcome

recently had a unique weekend sailboat experience that had a camping-like feel. The friendliness of the dog on board added to the enjoyment, although the lack of air conditioning in the Florida heat made it uncomfortable, especially for our dog. We discovered early on that there were no showers on the boat. To make the trip more convenient, I recommend bringing sandwiches, snacks, and a bag of ice. The 20-minute dingy ride to our destination was tiring, and returning for more ice was out of the question we didn't want to be stranded in the dark. Overpacking was unnecessary as we spent the entire time in our bathing suits due to the heat. Despite these challenges, with some adjustments and planning, it was an enjoyable adventure. I should also mention that the property owner was very professional and checked up on us by phone, which was appreciated. :)

Salty Conch at Rodriguez Key

The boat was dated but well maintained. 99% of our questions or concerns were responded to and rectified promptly. The host was accessible and kind. This was an experience that we will remember forever. Its wonderful and a lot of work akin to camping but on the water. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for something outside the box.

Perfect one night sleeping at sea

We had a beautiful afternoon and evening on the boat. We took the kayaks to the nearby key to explore and then cooked dinner on the grill. Takes a little getting used to sleeping on a boat with different sounds but we enjoyed our stay. The lovely gift basket of snacks was awesome as well!

Adventure on the Sea :D

The Salty Conch is more than just a sailboat. It's an experience that transports you away from the noise and hustle of everyday life and immerses you in the peaceful embrace of nature. I recently spent a night aboard the Salty Conch sailboat and it was an experience that will stay with me forever. As soon as I parked my car, I was greeted by the motorized dinghy that would take me on a 15-minute ride through the ocean to the sailboat As I boarded the Salty Conch, I was struck by the simplicity and elegance of the vessel. The natural wood finishes and the gentle sway of the boat immediately put me at ease. I highly recommend it and loved the memories
