Discover the charm of “Old Key West” aboard Vita Felice and embark on the journey of a lifetime by staying on a Luxurious Vintage Yacht and a piece of American History. This stay is paired with a 20' Sun Tracker Pontoon boat for Fishing/Lobstering, Cruising and Exploring the Sandbars. The location near downtown Key West is perfect for exploring the island on land but also provides a great opportunity to enjoy activities normally provided by boat charters. This unique opportunity gives you a secluded stay with a beautiful open water view unmatched by any other Key West lodging but also gives you freedom of water activities that would normally require a charter. Fishing, lobstering, and snorkeling are among many of the activities, including exploring on the Pontoon boat that can be used for island hopping and sandbars.
This Yacht was “The first Hatteras” certified for charter and is anchored offshore Key West Island and it’s accessible with the paired Pontoon Boat. This elegant vessel offers a timeless escape into the Grandeur of the Past in True Old Key West Style. Experience authentic boating living in the ocean at anchor with a secluded tropical paradise on the water, WITHOUT neighbors in close proximity! Anchored just a short pontoon boat ride from land.
Experience the Enchantment of Key West and unwind while Lobstering/Snorkeling, Swimming or Fishing, and Capture a Breathtaking Iconic Sunset at Sea!

The Pontoon rental for this boat is required and is the deposit for your nightly stay. Deposit is paid within 3 Days after you book your nightly stay. Pricing for the Pontoon is $300-450 per day depending on the length of your stay and is a bareboat rental that can be self drive or you can hire a captain to drive you and a list of captains can be provided.
Please conserve fresh water and electric as water for the boat is from the onboard fresh water tank and electric is produced from a generator, excessive use will result in excess charges. One 30 Gallon Tank of propane for electric is included in the price and 75 gallons of fresh water. Please conserve during showers and any other use of water. Salt water is unlimited use!
We give a low nightly rate along with the second boat rental as a 2-in-1 deal to give you a good price for your vacation and ultimate freedom on the water for up to 10 guests. This is like being on charter during your entire vacation to allow for water activities you cannot experience in a marina.
With Vita Felice in a fixed, stationary state at anchor the costs are tremendously reduced. ON A TYPICAL LARGE BOAT CHARTER the majority of your costs are crew and when the boat is moving to anchor from the dock and from anchor back to the dock and once the boat is anchored out on the water is the only time you can enjoy different water activities. With this option you stay at anchor during your ENTIRE STAY, in a location where a charter would usually take place; a regular paid charter is only a few hours. THIS IS NOT A REGULAR EXPENSIVE CHARTER FOR ONLY A FEW HOURS, the boat for your stay is moored in the water away from land like what you would do at the peak of a regular paid charter, to enjoy activities! With your stay at anchor you can then use the Pontoon self drive boat to further your exploration making for a very exiting yet cost effective stay with the ability to get the absolute most from your vacation! If you are wanting to spend thousands on a private captained charter this is not for you. This option provides much more time and freedom on the water enjoying the activities that most seek in Key West! Enjoy having the time to experience all the different water activities like Snorkeling, Lobstering, Fishing, Sandbars, Island hoping and much more! We provide Snokeling Gear and Lobster Kits free for our guests!
Both boats require a liability release contract as boating and associated activities are inherently dangerous. All guests need to be physically capable because this is a large boat that sits high in the water and requires climbing a 45 degree ladder to board from the pontoon. This is an authentic yacht boating experience and is at anchor. All rules and regulations of the water apply to your stay including driving a boat under the influence, which is not permitted and boaters safety course is required to rent(30 minute online course). Safety is of number one concern and safety liability is the renters responsibility, so BE SAFE!
