Thinking of making a road trip with the Scarab to Key West early December. Having only been there via cruise ship, need some input of where to stay, where to launch boat, where to boat, what sites to see, etc, etc. Figuring it will take 2 good days to trailer down?? Thanks in advance for any insight.

If you can move your timeframe to first week in Nov. the offshore worlds will be there..lodging and slips are probably getting scarce though ft this week.

Being in the Keys bunch before I recommend you stay IN Marathon, (or near) get a nice hotel or resort for less, and just take the hop to KW with the boat.

Consider working in a Christmas boat parade or two enroute?
There are many that get pretty elaborate but I will leave it to the Florida experts to recommend the best.
