Going on vacation in Key West – anyone know of any good 1 day sailing charters/trips?

Less commercial would be better. Definitely not interested in Catamaran’s…

Check out Stars & Stripes. It usually takes a small group (6-8), serves a good lunch and hits about 3 snorkle stops. The crew is great and the Captain was a National Geographic photographer and knows his stuff. It is a Catarmaran but not the usual cattle boat.
