Gekko - I think I was thinking of the place on the other side of Duval, what is it called. We actually used the Pier House 'beach' when we stayed @ the Curry Mansion.

Sine I have the attention of Key Westers :)

What boats would be nice for a wedding ceremony? There would be about 25 to 30 ppl.

If you stay at the Pier House ask for a 2nd floor garden view room. These are the best for the money IMO. They have either one king or two queen-sized beds and a large bathroom and a usable veranda (for drying your cloths.) Being on the 2nd floor you can shut off the AC at night and leave the door to the veranda open and the ceiling fan on. It is very pleasant this way. Anything from 420 - 440 will do. The first floor garen views are the same and I've read good reviews of these. If you stay here you can put on sandles and a cover-up and go out for lunch or a drink at El Meson de Pepe, e.g., then come back for a swim.

If you get up early, they put a pot of fresh coffee on the bar, beach-side, in the morning. Go down and get a good cupa, rather than making the stuff in the room.

The Floridays is nice, but with 25 people you won't be able to move around, hardly at all. Rather try to book the Sebago 3cubed. This way everyone will be able to move fore and aft and side to side. It will be much more comfortable.

What's the date? I'll be down soon. I tell funny stories.

Peter,
With all due respect, we have been on Floridays many times and sometimes they were full and sometimes they were not but we never had a problem finding room to groove. Once there was a line to a restroom that seemed to go on forever but that was about it. Sebago is a fine 2nd choice but it doesn't have that elegance that the sailing boats have.

They say "...for groups up to 30" so maybe it'd be OK. It still seems small to me but that's what this forum is for I guess. (But I'm not telling you any funny stories, though)
