Three week Rental (Pick Your Boat to See a Photo of It!) offers a way to own the water near Tavernier in the Upper Florida Keys. Launching from 90515 Old Hwy, Tavernier, FL 33070, this three-week rental hands you the helm of a carefully maintained fleet built for flats fishing, reef snorkeling, and relaxed island-hopping. Pick a 21 Cobia CC, a 23 Keywest CC, a 23 Seahunt CC, or a 22 Bennington Party Boat — every craft lists onboard gear like Lowrance or Garmin GPS/fishfinder units, VHF radio, swim platforms, and dry storage.
What makes this rental stand out is the variety and saltwater focus: centerconsoles with live wells and rod holders for anglers, fish boxes and ample power for island runs, and pontoon tri-toons tuned for easy social days on the bay. That equipment pairs with the Keys’ defining features nearby: shallow seagrass flats, exposed coral ledges such as Molasses Reef, and the mangrove-lined creeks that shelter juvenile fish. The region’s limestone and fossilized reef outcrops—visible at Windley Key—tell the story of a reef system that underpins both recreation and marine life.
Practical details live up front. Renters must be 25 or older; show up about 30 minutes before departure for orientation and to complete the $500 per-boat daily card hold policy (with a maximum described by the operator). Boats should be returned clean and with all safety gear secured; consider the offered prop and skeg insurance for peace of mind when running shallow approaches.
For visitors this is more than equipment—this is a gateway to tailored days. Early mornings reward flat water for sightfishing and turtle encounters; midday brings clear visibility for snorkeling on coral heads; evenings are built for slow cruises along the Overseas Highway’s watery edge. Local history lingers in the road itself: the Overseas Highway follows the route of the old Overseas Railroad, a reminder that these islands were once stitched together by iron and now by recreation.
Whether you plan an angler’s campaign, family days anchored off a quiet key, or a slow marine survey of the reef, three weeks gives breathing room to match tides, weather, and the rare sighting. This rental operation—meeting at 90515 Old Hwy, Tavernier, FL 33070—anchors you in a place where offshore ledges and inshore flats sit within easy reach, and where a well-chosen boat changes a vacation into an expedition.
Pack reef-safe sunscreen, a dry bag, and refillable water; the operator requires a credit card on file and suggests adding prop and skeg insurance at $95 per day for shallow work. Expect a brief safety walk-through, fuel briefing, and demonstration of electronic navigation during check-in so you can plan routes to Molasses Reef, Alligator Reef, and quieter bay keys.
