Join Our Thanksgiving Dinner by the Water
Hi from Key Lime Sailing Club and Cottages,
Thanksgiving is almost here and our Florida Keys beachfront celebration is ready for reservations. Every year our guests and KLSC staff gather for a relaxed Thanksgiving dinner by the beach. Amazing sunsets, calm bay views, and sometimes dolphin or manatee sightings create a fun and friendly setting where you can enjoy good food and meet new friends.
It sounds a little crazy, but we still have a few cottages left that can accommodate couples or families who want to enjoy a Florida Keys Thanksgiving on the beach.
Here is how it works
We will serve the turkey, the ham, and some sides for everyone to enjoy.
Guests are encouraged to bring their favorite side dish and some drinks to share.
Bring the people you love and enjoy a holiday you will never forget.
Check out this video clip from our last year’s Thanksgiving celebration to see what the experience is like.
If you would like to grab one of these remaining cottages for a Florida Keys Thanksgiving on the beach, reply to this email or call or text our reservations team at 305 451 3438 to book.

Watermakers reverse osmosis desalination equipment of Fort Lauderdale was developed by Joe Hocher, who also founded Staniel Cay Yacht Club, A CRUISERS NET SPONSOR.
As a valued guest of Staniel Cay Yacht Club, you know that the best cruising seasons start with early planning. With the holidays right around the corner, now’s the ideal time to schedule your pre‑season watermaker upkeep and secure your berth — before the winter rush hits.
Why act now?
√ Pre‑season tune‑ups & early‑bird savings: A quick check of your systems now means fewer surprises when you’re ready to cast off — and if you book by December 1 (service completed by December 31, 2025), you’ll save 15 % using promo code GETAHEAD15.
√ Upgrade options & future‑proofing: Looking to enhance your boat’s fresh‑water system? We can map out upgrades now so they’re ready by spring. As the only U.S. distributor for Hydrasil AG+ by Octomarine — the leading tank‑treatment solution — we’ll keep your onboard water clean and safe. Considering a full system upgrade? Lock in current pricing on a new Watermaker unit today and upgrade to a newer machine to improve efficiency and output.
√ Fast parts & island logistics: Even if you’re cruising in the Bahamas or other remote islands, we can get genuine Watermaker parts and technicians to you quickly via our sister company, Maker’s Air. Their dedicated aircraft give us access to distant locales that other service providers can’t reach, so you’re never stuck waiting for parts or assistance.
Let’s get your vessel ready for sun‑soaked days at Staniel Cay and beyond!
