Boat Names seen in Key West

Tortuga IV is a 1/2 day fishing boat operating out of Key West Bight Marina behind Dantes

 

 

 

The Tortuga IV is in Conch Harbor Marina along Harbor Walk and behind Dantes in Key West Bight. Look for it near the Ferry Terminal

Deckhands are cleaning the catch for customers. As they remove the filets they flip the heads and backbones over to the waiting pelicans and tarpon that are waiting under the pelicans.

Yacht "Lucky Dog" in Key West Bight Marina for a few days

 

 

The Luxury Yacht "Lucky Dog" is 95-feet long with a 26-foot beam with a draft of 6-feet.

The Lucky Dog is a charter yacht and I bet "Lucky Dogs" name speaks volumes of your experience onboard.

This custom built 95-foot luxury yacht specializes in Bahamian out island adventures. While anchored along miles of inhabited beaches, dive in to the azure ocean, soak in the foredeck Jacuzzi, or relax on one of the comfortable sun pads.
