About this property
Affordable luxury yacht charters.
This is a private yacht charter. Only your family and friends aboard along with your captains. License To Chill is back in Key Largo! We are now at a private dock behind a home. The yacht is NOT at the listed address. This platform assumes that since a house address can't change niether can a boat! Please ask about current address after booking.
Ever wonder what its really like? At anchor, in a quiet cove, perhaps dolphins in the morning. Some say its "living the dream". Come join us and find out for yourself.
The yacht DOES NOT STAY TIED TO A DOCK. Each day we go cruising to different anchorages, perhaps some fishing, snorkeling, paddle boarding or playing with the inflatable toys in the bay. No need to worry about sea sickness. All cruising is on the bay side protected by the barrier islands, not on the atlantic ocean.
Our home is a 55 foot Californian cockpit motor yacht. Built in 1991 we lovingly maintain her ourselves,(mostly).She has 3 staterooms, 3 heads, a large salon and sundeck. The galley is complete with microwave, convection oven and a full size refrigerator. There is a on board diesel generator and portable back-up, plenty of power to run the air conditioning and all appliances simultaneously. Note: We do not leave the AC running during the day. Our guest are typically enjoying the outdoors and water activities.
You arrive at the dock in Key Largo mid afternoon. Not to late cause we are cruising today. We will load you and your luggage on the yacht. There will be a brief orientation of the boat and its systems. When you hear the throaty rumble of the big diesels you'll know its time to cruise. Relaxation should set in while the sun sets on the way to our first anchorage. Depending on the time of year and weather this could include some water activities. Along the way its not unusual to be joined by one or more wild dolphins surfing the big boats bow wave and wake. (12 is the record so far).We'll arrive and anchor just in time to witness a glorious sunset, most times. Boat drinks anyone? Dinner will be prepared and served on board. After that we will alternate dining out at a waterfront restaurant every other night. (guest pay for there meals) A light midday lunch is served each day.
There is nothing quite like waking up in a quiet cove aboard a private yacht. We like a morning swim around the boat. There will be fun inflatables tied off the back to relax in. Or you may want to get your tan on. The padded lounge on the bow is perfect for that. After breakfast, we head out to our next destination. That could be to have some fun snorkeling, fishing or paddle boarding. If those things don't interest you then just cruising and enjoying the sights and sounds of the Carribian of America is what we do.
Breakfast is always included. With multiple night cruises, we will alternate, first night dinner on board, next night at a waterfront restaurant and so forth. (not included in charter rate)Access to these restaurants are by inflatable tender. You must be physically able to board the tender. Here's a good way to test yourself, can you get on the floor and get up again with minimal assistance? If so you will have no issues,
There will be a light lunch each day. BOYB .There will be coolers on board filled with ice but you can bring one if you like. There are no additional fees for anything. Check in time is 3pm. Check out time is 12pm.

About the host
Hosted by Captain kenneth l Stanley and Captain Monica Ybarbo

Hello, we are Capt. Kenny and Capt. Monica. Living aboard License To Chill for over 15 years now and still loving it! Beginning in New Jersey in October 2008 we cruised south on the Intracoastal Waterway to Palm beach Florida. Normally a 14 day trip we stretched to 4 months! From there we crossed over to the Bahamas spending another 3 months exploring the Abacos. A month later we ended up in Key West. We now refer to that time as our 8 month honeymoon. We intended to stay a few months in the Keys. Well we're still here 16 years later! Almost from the very beginning, one of our most enjoyable times was having guest on board and sharing our lifestyle and adventures. That is still true today. Please come aboard, make some memories and be a part of our story.
