Yachts docked in Key West Bight Marina

Yachts come in all sizes here are some nice ones at A&B Marina at Key West Bight

 

 

 

 

 

A&B Marina caters to a large group of transient yachts that spend the winter in Key West at the Historic Seaport Harbor in Key West Bight.

 

The Yacht "Sea Loafer" docked at A&B Marina in Key West Bight Marina

 

 

 

Now this is a "true" yacht even for the yachting types

Sea Loafer III is a 112' Westport Raised Pilot House Motor Yacht
that was built in 2000 and you can probably take it home with you for around $ 4,500,000 with a little dickering.

The dinghy moored along side is about my speed. VBG

You are looking at a yacht featuring four staterooms plus three crew layout along with oversized salon, aft deck, flybridge and large country kitchen forward.

She has contemporary neutral interior features with custom lighting along with marble and custom fixtures.

The Sea Loafer III is powered by DDEC 16V-2000s, and cruises comfortably at 20 kts. with a 26 kt. top end speed. Additional options include Naiad stabilizers, bow thruster, twin Sea Recovery 1800 gpd watermakers, along with a Sea Doo waverunner and 18' Novurania tender.

I think I will let someone else have a shot at this one. VBG

Pelican on dinghy at dinghy dock in Key West Bight Marina

 

 

This picture is included as proof that pelicans will poop on a poor mans yacht just like a rich mans yacht. You might say they are equal opportunity poopers.

Note that the chap on this yacht is going to row back to his liveaboard boat moored around a mile from here probably around Wisteria Island.

Yacht Elegante tied to the transient dock at A&B Marina part of Key West Bight Marina

 

 

 

The Elegante was only in Key West for a few days before moving on.

Large tarpon cruising Key West Bight Marina

 

 

Joyce took this picture while walking along Harbor Walk. Later in the day a "back country" fishing guide will dock his boat here. The tarpon in this picture is around 5-feet long and will weigh over 100-pounds.

We always keep an eye on the water when strolling along Harbor Walk around Key West Bight Marina looking for these large tarpon.

 

Hope Floats is the name of this yacht docked at Conch Harbor in Key West Bight Marina

 

 

 

 

The Motor Yacht Hope Floats stopped by Key West for a few days and stayed in Key West Bight at Conch Harbor Marina behind Dantes.

Joyce took this picture from Harbor Walk not far from the Ferry Terminal.
