About this docked boat rental

Located in Key Largo, this lovely docked boat for $919 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. This is an all 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 boats! 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.

This is a very unique opportunity that we cannot recommend enough. Captains Kenny and Monica take care of the plan, food and accommodations, you just sit back and relax and enjoy the ride. It was my husband, two kids (14 &18) and me, and we all enjoyed the balance of peace and chill time with activity. You are living aboard Kenny and Monica's 55’ yacht, and experience the upper Florida Keys. We cruised, fished, swam, floated, paddle boarded, tubed and snorkeled. They prepare the most beautiful, tasty and hearty meals and are gracious and welcoming hosts. They personalized our experience and truly made it special. They are safety conscious as well. This is different than a standard charter experience in a couple ways, some ways include... -flexibility on length (they allow for a shorter cruise than most charters) -they spend time with you, you are floating in their home, that being said Kenny and Monica provide a good balance of privacy and companionship. There was plenty of space aboard for all six of us. -you bring your own liquor, was not a problem (and prob saves you money in the end) All in all, I cannot say enough good things if you're looking for a vacation that is different than the norm and if you enjoy, or are curious about, boat life. Kenny and Monica are a lovely couple who are easy to get to know, and really care about their guests' enjoyment and experience aboard License to Chill.

This was the most fun we’ve ever had. Only regret is not booking for one night longer. Our kids (9 and 11) were entertained the entire time- snorkeling, paddle boarding, tubing! Never a dull moment. The food was AMAZING! Custom meals to our families liking. The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. This was a trip of a lifetime that we will never forget.

I read the glowing reviews before booking our trip. To cut to the chase: the high marks are well-earned. Captain Kenny and Monica craft a brilliantly fun time. My husband, brother and sister-in-law did a two-day cruise and could not stop smiling and grinning. Kenny and Monica made us feel so at home. The meals were perfect; attractively presented and very tasty. The water activities and cruising the coast were massive fun. All of this you will read in other reviews, so I'll state a few cool things that you might not get from the other reviews. 1) First, they really pay attention to what YOU like and adjust accordingly. For example, Monica tweaked the original menu to adapt to some quirks with our Midwestern palates. They could tell we really enjoyed the paddleboarding so they snuck in another excursion the morning we were to depart. And the evenings--oh my. We had background music playing all day. Somehow that morphed into a challenge game of "Name that Tune", then dancing and singing. So, Cap'n Kenny also deserves the title of DJ Kenny. 2) Secondly, there was NO big sargassum seaweed bloom marring our trip. Based on all the scary newspaper stories of its arrival, I was very worried. However, we experienced clear, clean water throughout. All in all, this was a SPECTACULAR trip. I really hope to do it again sometime.

We had the best time on License To Chill. Captain Kenny & Monica were exceptional host on board their beautiful Yacht! From the first hug in the drive way to the last we were treated like family. Monica out did herself with preparing wonderful snacks, to beautiful dinners. We enjoyed each anchor point. They showed us their favorite stops! Ocean View had an awesome steak, and we are from Iowa-We know good steaks. We swam, snorkled with cool fish. Went fishing and hold the current record of 70 fish in 80 min, with 6 different species of fish! What a happy accident, or was it? 😀 We explored mangroves on paddle boards, so beautiful! We enjoyed watching the dolphins play in the boats wake. We even named their new dinghy! Two experienced captain's on a wonderfully maintained vessel-she is gorgeous! But the best part of our trip was hands down getting to know these wonderful people. We cant wait to host you in Iowa soon!

We had the best time aboard License to Chill! Captain Monica and Kenny were the best hosts. They communicated with us regularly before our trip, and answered any questions we had. They are so friendly and did an exceptional job making us feel like part of the Chill family. They had fun floats the kids loved, and paddle boards for us to use. The food was delicious, the beds comfortable and the company was even better :) We were sadly only aboard for a night, and the whole family can’t wait to go back for a longer time!

Captain Kenny and Captain Monica made us feel like we were living the dream. From the time we came aboard until the time we pulled back to the dock, it was such a great vibe. The food was amazing, the accommodations comfortable, the tunes were outstanding and Kenny & Monica went above & beyond to make sure that we had a good time. Spotted several dolphin, a sea turtle and even a pink spoonbill, Caught 29 fish (grunts & snapper) and even kept a few. Due to weather we didn’t get to do many water activities. But that didn’t seem to matter … we had the best time. We plan to go back again and even stay longer. Thank you Captains Kenny and Monica.
