Celebrate Christmas Morning with a Brunch Sail on Key West’s Luxury Catamaran

Read the full experience

Wake up on Christmas morning and step aboard the Argo Navis, a 75-foot luxury catamaran docked right at 0 Duval Street, Key West. This special two-hour brunch sail offers a unique way to enjoy the festive holiday with the tranquil waters of the Gulf of Mexico beneath you and the gentle breeze in your hair. The setting is effortlessly elegant—with the soft sway of the sails and unobstructed views of the island’s turquoise waters, you’re immersed in a serene seascape that only Key West can deliver. Key West, Florida, is famed for its warm climate, historic architecture, and vibrant cultural scene, but the Christmas Brunch Sail on the Argo Navis reveals a quieter, more indulgent side of the island. As you glide away from the Ocean Key Resort Marina at Sunset Pier, your senses awaken to the fresh salt air and distant calls of seabirds. The natural soundtrack of wind and water replaces background music, allowing you to fully savor the moment. Onboard, you’ll feast on carefully curated brunch fare sourced from some of Key West’s most beloved local eateries. The culinary spread pairs impeccably with bottomless mimosas, bloody marys, specialty cocktails, mocktails, premium wines, Florida craft beers, juices, and rich Red Buoy Coffee. Whether you prefer to toast the morning with bubbles or ease into the day with coffee, the selection caters to every palate. What sets this sail apart is not just the high-end dining nor the luxury vessel, but the atmosphere: casual yet sophisticated, inviting guests to dress comfortably and leave formalities on shore. Sweaters and light jackets are recommended as the sea breeze can be crisp even in December, though blankets are provided to keep you cozy while you take in panoramic views. This brunch sail also stands out for its attentive service paired with an authentic experience of Key West’s maritime character. Guests are encouraged to arrive 15 minutes early for check-in and a safety briefing to ensure the smoothest possible sail. It’s an experience that balances relaxation, celebration, and the natural beauty of this iconic island. Beyond the sail, Key West’s historic Old Town and waterfront are within easy reach, making it an ideal centerpiece for a holiday visit. Whether you’re escaping winter chills or simply looking for a memorable way to mark the season, the Christmas Brunch Sail aboard the Argo Navis offers a rare blend of festive spirit, gourmet flavors, and ocean tranquility.
