Ft. Lauderdale, sometimes known as the Venice of America for its extensive system of canals, is a sailing mecca and a superb destination for a bareboat catamaran charter<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 Seminole Indians may have been the region’s first inhabitants but it is\u00a0Major William Lauderdale that the city is named after. \u00a0During the Second Seminole War he led a group of Tennessee Volunteers into the area and built the New River Fort, the location of the city we know today.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Setting sail you will find the exciting sights and sounds of South Beach just a day sail away and stretching beyond is the natural beauty of the famous Florida Keys. \u00a0Visit Miami, Biscayne Bay, Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathan and Key West, sailing as far as Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas. \u00a0If that isn’t enough to keep you entertained, then you can always head east into The Bahamas<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0with its extensive range of islands, cays and islets to explore.<\/p>\n

Ft. Lauderdale is not the only starting point along the Florida coastline. \u00a0Bareboat charter yachts<\/a><\/strong> can also be picked up from Miami or Key West.<\/p>\n

Miami:<\/b>\u00a0The Miami base is located at Bayshore Landing Marina on the western shore of Biscayne Bay; within minutes of leaving the slip you can be sailing away to freedom.<\/p>\n

Key West:<\/b>\u00a0The Florida Keys extend over 125 miles and are often called \u2018America\u2019s Caribbean islands\u2019. Known for their spectacular coral reefs, excellent marina facilities and quiet anchorages, the Keys make the perfect sailing destination for any charterer. With a tropical climate tempered by ocean breezes, this is a \u2018year-round\u2019 sailing destination.<\/p>\n

With the glistening blue seas and endless sunshine, the best way to travel is aboard a catamaran. \u00a0Today’s recommendation is the Lagoon 440<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0With 4 double cabins she can comfortably sleep up to 8 people and her expansive outside space is perfect for life in the open. \u00a0So kick back and enjoy a refreshing beverage with a Carl Hiaasen novel for entertainment – all set in Florida\u00a0of course.<\/p>\n

The Lagoon 440 is available for bareboat or skippered charters. \u00a0For further information, about bareboat catamaran rental Fort Lauderdale<\/strong><\/a> or elsewhere in the world, contact the team<\/strong><\/a> today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
