About this property

YKNOT CHARTERS, ON AND OFF DOCK CHARTERS

The Space
Y Knot is a 44 foot trawler yacht with 2 staterooms, a full head with walk in shower, a complete galley complimented by 2 refrigerators, freezer and microwave. Dining booth sits 6 adults. The v-berth stateroom has 3 double berths and 1 single birth. The small stateroom has 2 single berths. Y knot offers 2 upper balconies with 2 seats, (forward and back) nice place to enjoy sunrise or sunset. We have 3 air conditioners, so you will be kept cool. Back deck for fishing or lounging.
Guest Access
Two of the best restaurants on Stock Island are only steps away. This is a fishing marina. You will be able to buy fresh fish from the market or catch your own, with a proper Florida fishing License.

My goal is to help you enjoy your stay in Key West. If it's water activities, I'm your man. If you only need some guide service, no problem. A Captain or crew will be in touch with you on day of arrival. You will have my or crews cell phone number and can call with questions.

Many times questions arrive about charters, day trips, fishing and diving.. VRBO ;does not allow me to give you contact information. Until after booked, so messages must suffice until then.

The Neighborhood

We are in Stock Island out of the hustle/bustle of Duval Street. We have great restaurants and a lot of boats. Most commercial fishing still comes out of this area. If you want to buy fresh fish right off the boat, this is the area.

Getting Around

Adequate taxi, Huber, Lyft and city bus service. All close by. Taxis usually arrive within minutes.

Driving directions

From North, look for Burger King around mm 5. Turn left (South) on 5th. Go to 1st stop sign, turn left on Maloney Ave Go 4 blocks to 4th Ave (Just past West Marine). Turn right, go about 1 block, to Front street. Turn left , go pat Hogfish to Keys Fresh Seafood . Pull into marina , YKNOT is directly in front of you.

6840 Front St.

Yknot {if available} for charter would be for your group only. We offer fishing trips, snorkel trips, scuba diving and sunset cruises.

All charters are eligible for a discount if booked within 2 days of Vrbo booking.

Comfortable stay with Great location!
The boat was clean, everything was operational, and amenities were close by. It's docked right next to The Docks restaurant, which was phenomenal. The location was great with only a short 10 minute ride into key west. 10/10 would come stay here again!

Quiet marina stay on quaint boat
The boat was exactly as described. It was a perfect location for our adventures into Key West. We were only 0.4 mile from the public bus stop - which we caught several days. Also never waited more than a few minutes when we took Uber. We ate at The Docks and Hogfish - both very close by. And at El Siboney, a Cuban restaurant about 0.7 miles away. Two nights we lounged on the bow of the boat after sunset and enjoyed musicians playing at The Docks. Someone in a previous review commented about the neighborhood. It is a working marina neighborhood - not condos or luxury resorts. However we walked through the neighborhood to the bus stop and Dions Quik stop several times and always felt safe. We are 60+ backpackers who prefer this type of unique stay. I would not recommend for anyone expecting luxury accommodations or with mobility issues.

Great affordable find in Key West
Ralph was wonderful in checking us in and showing us the boat. The marina is great and cozy with great food spots nearby where the locals gather to eat (so you know the food is great!). The boat is older, so if you really need luxury/modern comfort this may not be for you. If you're looking for something different, off the beaten path, with short distance/cheap Uber ride to downtown, this is it!

About the host

Hosted by Ralph Thoren

Host profile image
I am an active Coast Guard captain with over 20 years service chartering in the great lakes, The Bahamas, The gulf through the Caloosahatchee River to the Atlantic and lastly in Key West since 2006. We have an accident free safety record.

Why they chose this property

Yknot is a camping experience. It is like a camper in the sense of 30 amp service, bunk beds. Yknot is not a hotel, it is not a house on water. It is a working charter boat, kept clean, with clean sheets, pillow cases and towels .

What makes this property unique

The view of sunset over marina from bow of boat is sensational. If you charter to go fishing, snorkeling or diving, you are all ready on board. The bunks allow for groups to share cost and food preparation can kepp cost low.
