Classic Harbor Line Key West is thrilled to share recent coverage in Travel + Leisure. The publication highlighted our festive holiday sailing experience aboard Schooner America 2.0. We are honored to appear in such a respected travel magazine. Their feature celebrates joyful seasonal traditions across the Florida Keys.

Fly South for the Holidays

The Florida Keys offer warm weather and bright holiday spirit each December. Visitors enjoy sunny skies instead of snow and ocean breezes instead of chilled air. Key West becomes lively with lights, music, and waterfront celebrations. Travelers visit for warmth, beauty, and a refreshing holiday escape.

Travel + Leisure described the Harbor Walk of Lights at the Historic Seaport. Thousands of sparkling bulbs drape boats, docks, and palm trees. The waterfront shines with color and feels wonderfully festive. The walk stretches from Elizabeth Street to Grinnell Street. Guests can enjoy the lights throughout December.

The feature also highlighted the beloved Lighted Boat Parade. Local captains decorate vessels with glowing holiday designs. The boats cruise through the Historic Seaport in a bright procession. Crowds cheer along the docks as each boat passes. It remains one of Key West’s favorite holiday events.

We are especially proud of our part in this celebration. Travel + Leisure named Schooner America 2.0 as a prime viewing option. Guests can watch the boat parade from the water aboard our elegant schooner. We offer music, refreshments, and unbeatable views of the celebration. This sail is a cherished seasonal tradition for our team. We love sharing this magical night with our guests.

The article also mentioned other Keys adventures. Travelers can dive the Christmas Tree Cave in Key Largo. Visitors can experience real snow during Islamorada’s Holiday Fest. Though we are not involved in these activities, we enjoy seeing the region shine.
