Gilbert's, Tiki Bar and Sunshine Key. Only Sunshine Key has anything I trust 100% since it comes right from the truck.

Call vacationboatrentals. They have plenty. Just rented a 24 cc for the week. 1100.00 docking at hurricane hole 44.00 a day. Smoking deal. They have plenty of boats left as of a few days ago. They are up in marathon but they will delivery for free.

The town is like the Offshore only.com web site comes to life. Almost every single person you bump into is a high perf boating freak. The best week you will ever have in Key West!

I have been traveling to Key West for 30 plus years! Hey what do I know?? lol

One question,

She wants to go to the beach, now I know Keywest isn't really a beach town. But it looks like there are a few smaller ones, anyone recommend one versus another? Preferably one with a Tiki bar for me or at least some decent talent wondering around.

We were looking more for a 30' center console boat for a day.

Everyone has made great points on where to go and what to do (and what not to do) but here are two suggestions. Blue Heaven is awesome for dinner and hit Angelina's Pizza on Duval. It's the best for soaking up alcohol. :drink:

Once you are there a full tank will last all week. Couple lunch runs, Island stop and buzz the harbor a few times is about all you will be doing.

I like to only keep only one credit card in my wallet at a time....it will inevitably set off the fraud alert and freeze your account. Normally at that point it would be a good time to go home, because you won’t be smart enough at that point in the night to make the call yourself. And if you only have the 1 card down, you won’t be tempted to buy the bar a round of shots with a freshie…

Just be aware that the Red Garter doesn’t accept AMEX in the champagne room, so have a back-up plan for that.

Lots of places to eat, but hit up this taco truck for a quick lunch one day... you will NOT be disappointed.

Check out Pepe's Restaurant on Caroline Street. Its very close to the Poker Run Dock. It's the local's secret place.
Breakfest, Lunch & Dinner. Every Thursday is Thanksgiving.
