Living the Dream Key West Style
Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape. Experience and enjoy what life is like living on a large world cruising sailboat on the sailing vessel Serenity. Staying on Serenity is what Key west is known for and living a carefree lifestyle. Experience and enjoy the Artistic and Tropical landscaped private marina with spectacular views of the harbor. Lounge in the hammock and watch the sunset or sit on the dock and grill out watching the shrimp boats come and go.
This is a all inclusive price. No cleaning fee and includes 2- paddle boards and 4- Kayaks
Serenity is docked at Safe Harbour Marina which is a beautiful tropical landscape marina in Stock Island which is a 15-minute ride to downtown Key West. There is the Famous locals Restaurant and Bar the Hogfish located at the Marina. Serenity is on the point of the marina and has nice views with a large dock with outside seating. Safe Harbour is a very secure marina and has a small friendly community of liveaboards that look out for everybody. Our cohost Glen lives in the cottage in front of Serenity and are available to address any issues that occur and share his local knowledge of the Island and values your privacy and will not disturb you.
There is plenty of seating in front of Serenity on the dock that is exclusively for Serenity guests only with a nice sitting area with a grill to enjoy the beautiful sunset Key West is famous for. There are two refrigerators and an ice maker. There are all cooking utensils on board you might need. One private parking spot provided in a locked gated driveway.
Serenity is a 1983 60 ft Catalina /Morgan Schooner. It has the classic beautiful teak interior that the older sailing vessels are known for. A large, covered cockpit to sit and enjoy sunsets. There is one large stateroom with a Queen-size bed and its own private bathroom. There are two separate smaller staterooms with a twin bed that can be pulled out to a full in each. There is an additional single bunk in the captains' quarters off the galley. The galley has a propane stove and oven, large kitchen sink, large drawer refrigerator, a large icemaker and plenty of storage. The saloon is large with plenty of seating and a large table that can folds in half to give more space. There is a tv for your entertainment and free starlink wifi. A Fusion stereo system with Bluetooth to enjoy your favorite playlists. Serenity just had a major refit with all new systems In it, Interior and exterior wood all newly refinished and exterior newly painted, all new appliances, new cushions throughout the boat and is maintained on a regular basis.

Hurricane Season. Please note Serenity is a large sailboat and per insurance regulations and the safety of the boat, the boat will be hauled out of the water if there is a threat of a named storm developing with key west in its path. This will make the boat unavailable for a period of 10 days or more.

Serenity has beautiful wood floors and large suitcases with wheels tend to scratch the floors. In order to keep Serenity looking good we only allow soft sided luggage such as backpacks, garment bags and duffle bags. If you are not traveling by car, we can store your large luggage in the owner's cottage next to Serenity. We have complimentary tote bags to transfer your belongings onboard.
Serenity is docked stern to, boarding the boat involves walking across a boarding ramp that we call the gangway and descending stairs into the cabin that we call the companionway. It is always safest to maintain three points of contact with the ship while boarding and moving about the deck and the cabin.
