      This Father’s Day, treat Dad to time on the water at Key Lime Sailing Club & Cottages in Key Largo. He can sail the turquoise waters, relax under the tiki hut, and enjoy the simple rhythm of life in the Florida Keys.

      Cottages are still available for the weekend, offering a chance for a last-minute getaway. If travel isn’t possible right now, gift certificates are also available and can be used toward future stays or sailing experiences. It’s an easy way to give something memorable, flexible, and rooted in adventure.

      Cottages Available Now

      Come experience the Keys at their most peaceful and beautiful. Book your island getaway today.

       

      Call or text Irene at 305-451-3438 to inquire or reserve, or simply reply to this email.

      When you book one of our cottages, you get more than just a great escape. Every stay includes free access to our water amenities. Qualified sailors can take out a 22′ sailboat, or keep it easy with a kayak, paddleboard on the calm bay side waters, or snorkel the crystal-clear flats. This is what the Florida Keys are all about, and it is why guests keep coming back. Key Lime Sailing Club and Cottages is a hidden gem that captures the true spirit of the Keys, the kind Jimmy Buffett sang about and Hemingway lived.

       

      Plus, if you’re interested in learning to sail, we have a sailing school right on-site. The American Sailing Academy offers a 2-hour Introduction to Sailing, a 2-hour refresher (for those with experience but needing a little refresher), and ASA beginner and advanced certified classes. 

      You can learn to sail in just 2 days with our in-house sailing endorsement class (non-certification). When you pass the endorsement class, you would have the use of one of our 22′ Catalina sailboats for FREE during the rest of your stay. (Non-guests can rent a sailboat for $300 a day but it’s free for our qualified sailor guests staying at Key Lime Sailing Club and Cottages.)

       

      For more information on the sailing classes, call Capt at 305 896 5555, or send an email to learntosail@americansailingacademy.com.

       

      And that’s not all! We’ve got more in store for you such as sailing excursions* which include captivating sunset cruises, immersive kayaking tours, and exhilarating snorkel adventures. Departing from the KLSC docks, these fantastic outings are easily accessible to all our guests. Don’t miss out on these extraordinary sailing excursions; they’re the key to creating unforgettable memories.
