Dockside luxury meets Old Key West charm at The Perry Hotel & Marina, where one of the Florida Keys' most celebrated boutique resorts is anchored by the largest deep-water marina in the island chain. Located just minutes from downtown Key West, The Perry offers 288 wet slips with deep-water access for vessels up to 300 feet. With full resort privileges extended to marina guests, boaters can step from their decks into an award-winning oasis—named to the 2024 Michelin Guide and nominated for Condé Nast Traveler's 2025 Readers' Choice Awards.
When Commodore Ralph Middleton Munroe was sailing and exploring the Keys at the turn of the 20th century from his home on Biscayne Bay, he ducked in and out of Hawk Channel through the myriad channels along the islands and spent many nights anchored in their lees.
The Commodore's reminisces of the settlements and people of that time are delightful reading and portray Florida as a new frontier and destination for visitors seeking warm weather and a tropical paradise.
Today, the Keys remain worthy of discovery and those who make the journey are seldom disappointed. Boating, kayaking, cruising and biking in the Florida Keys are just as magical as they have always been.
