Rick and Morning Star Charters has been in the chartering business for 32 years in the upper Keys doing oceanside reef snorkels and sunset sails. Rick has now retired and has entrusted the watch on S/V Morning Star to Paul and the Key Lime Sailing Club's great staff of Captains. The bayside sunset sails and eco-tours offered by Key Lime Sailing Club on S/V Endless Summer only enhance the opportuni

ties for you to enjoy your time while staying in the beautiful Florida Keys. Laid back, easy going, fun, sailing, snorkeling charters in Key Largo, for those that seek the best. Enjoy the beautiful waters of Key Largo in a fun and relaxed atmosphere with a group of 2 to 6 people with our local Captains that have over 30+ years of experience on the reefs around Key Largo. We now offer the best sailing, snorkeling, sunset sails and private charters on both sides of Key Largo! Our fleet of sailboats has expanded with the merger of these two long term Key Largo businesses. She is a 50' overall Irwin center cockpit ketch. On the bayside we have S/V Endless Summer a 47' Lagoon catamaran with solar powered electric propulsion. We are the longest existing sail, snorkel charter in the Florida Keys. We DO NOT use the reefs that the large group snorkel boats go to. We have been going the extra miles to the best reefs for years. We want our customers to see the best that Key Largo has to offer. We want you to know there are reefs off Key Largo that rival the best in the world! Morning Star will take you to Molasses Reef, Pickles Reef, and reefs "off the beaten path" that are teeming with sea life, beautiful corals, in crystal clear waters! And when it comes to sailing, YES! We will sail as much as possible, it's a major part of what we do!
