here is a pay by hour city parking lot (Waterfront Brewery) adjacent to the dock at the corner of Caroline and Margaret street. Please allow plenty of time to find a space, use the pay kiosk (credit card or cash), place the parking receipt in your dash and walk the dock to the boat. If that lot is full (often around sunset), there’s a covered city parking garage at the corner of Caroline and Grinnell Streets. There is some on-street parking but do not park in a space marked residential or you may be towed. The free Duval Loop (pink bus) stops just around the corner on Caroline Street.

You should be on the docks 15 minutes prior to your scheduled departure. The boat leaves promptly so if you arrive late you will miss it. If that happens, please call us about rescheduling the next day (pending space availability), otherwise no refunds will be issued.

At Hindu Charters we take the Covid 19 situation very seriously. Safety of our customers and crew is paramount. That’s why we take the following precautions on every public sail:

• Our crew remains vigilant and is regularly screened. 
• If you are exhibiting any symptoms or have been exposed, please reschedule your sunset or brunch sail without penalty.
• Our 2,800 square feet of floating space helps ensure you’ll be able to socially distance. We are licensed to carry 90 passengers but for now are sailing with right around 34 (or less).
• All surfaces are thoroughly sanitized between cruises and during each sail. Crew wears gloves during all food prep and distribution.
• Crew will hand out passed appetizers so trays remain touch free. 
• Hand sanitizer is available everywhere on the vessel. Guests and crew are encouraged to utilize it liberally.

Thank you for putting your trust in the SV Argo Navis. Together we can enjoy the beautiful Florida Keys waters and do our part to help stop the spread.

The SV Argo Navis does Doggie Day Sails select Saturdays in season from 11 am to 1 pm which includes lunch for everyone, snacks for the dogs and special treats. $20 of each ticket is donated to the Florida Keys SPCA. Check our facebook events for more information.

Our motto is ‘sail as you are’ so feel free to dress up or dress down – just kick those heels off at the gangplank. You may want a sweater or light jacket when the temperatures dip down in the 70’s but we always have blankets on board if you need one.

Your camera, sunglasses, a smile and a happy attitude is really all you’ll need. If you’re on a summer Sunday Funday you’ll need a towel and sunscreen. Please have an ID if you plan to partake in adult beverages.

There are mostly adults on our sails but children are welcome. We only have one price for all our tickets because we are capacity controlled and it’s by the passenger count total. Children on board 10 years of age and under will be required to wear a life jacket that we provide (it is a very safe and stable boat). There are several competent bonded and secured childcare services in Key West that will come to your hotel, guest house or rental. One that has good reviews: Key West childcare can be found by calling Sunshine Babysitting 24 hours at 305-522-6050. Ask for Cheryl.  Rates vary depending on the seasons, time of day and number and ages of children.

We serve premium wine and craft beer. We offer a cabernet, malbec, pinot noir and a red blend, a chardonnay, pinot grigio, cote de Rhône blend, moscato, sauvignon blanc and a rose along with a cava and a prosecco. For beers we offer a blond ale, kolsch, porter, session sour, IPA, Belgian style ale, lager, apple cider and a low gluten IPA as well as Bud Light. We also offer St. Paulie Girl NA.

Yes. If you have a special bottle of wine or champagne you’d like served please provide it to the crew when boarding and they will make sure that is served to you throughout the cruise. You may also bring hard alcohol. The bottle must remain with the crew who will mix drinks to your specifications. As a licensed bar, any opened bottles may not be removed from the vessel so plan accordingly. Of course you may bring your own beverages onboard in a covered container.

No, our crew is onboard to take care of you. As a licensed bar we must serve all drinks during the cruise and we pass the appetizers where you sit so you can just sit back and enjoy yourself.

The crew makes or prepares all food served on the vessel. For sunset, we offer 6 rounds of charcuterie-style appetizers including caprese skewers with basil grown on the boat, charcuterie on a stick with fresh baked bread from Cole’s Peace bakery, smoked fish dip sourced from the local bbq floating restaurant Smoked on the Water, toasted triple cream brie on a french baguette topped with fig jam, medjool date stuffed with goat cheese, wrapped in prosciutto, baked on board and then drizzled with Keez Beez local honey and finally a ripe strawberry sourced from the Thursday Key West.

Our Sunday menu changes with the season so please refer to your reservation for the current offering.

Please make it known when booking, if possible, or at boarding, if you have any food issues and the crew will do their best to accommodate.

There is no smoking permitted on the vessel.

Please make that known when placing your reservation or when boarding the vessel. We love to help our guests celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, engagements or anything really!

That depends on a lot of factors but generally the boat is so wide and stable most people are fine. If you have concerns, be sure to take the Dramamine the night before and then again the day of your cruise for the best results. We typically have seabands and other treatments onboard.

We have two spacious restrooms (his and hers) featuring regular household Kohler commodes.

There is a ramp and a few steps to navigate to board the vessel. There are a set of 4 somewhat steep steps (more of a ladder) to get to the restroom level. If somewhat ambulatory our crew is standing by to assist. We can also lock a rascal/personal chair to the dock and/or bring it on board if it’s possible for two crew members to lift.
