Naples to Keys boat trip. Need some advice and help!

[Cabana Dan]

Myself and a few friends are looking to plan a Naples to the Keys boat trip. I have a single engine 21' along with one other friend. Our other friend has a 26' Whaler with twins. We all want to take our boats and the family to the Keys. We are looking to go to the middle to lower Keys and rent a house. I am curious to know if anyone has done this trip in a 21' boat and how was it? Any advice or things that you would have done differently?

I know quite a few people who have made the trip in that size boat. Good idea having two boats. If the weather is at all questionable for the time your gone TRAILER. Nothing is worst than getting down there, and not being able to get back. It really temps you to make unwise decisions. Have a couple friends who will never run their boats down again after a miserable ride home.(IN a much bigger boat than 21")

Good luck and post how your trip went.
