How often do they have the boat races down there?? My fiance has been dying to get me to go to Key West and I would love to go down when they have a boat race, Any info that could be passed on would be great.

The races are once a year, and this same week every year(second week of November). It is an absolute blast that is really just one big party. From the races to the poker run its something for the bucket list. Just make sure you make you reservation early, a lot of people book there rooms etc. for the next year when they checkout.

Ok thank you, My fiance has visited down there and loves it, she has wanted to get me down there to see it, getting to see the boat races would be an awesome plus!!! She did say its a great party town, I will fit right in, she says the best part is the bars give you to-go cups when you leave and you can just walk down the street going bar to bar. Might have to try and get in on this next year, thanks for the info!!

The seas were perfect for a photographer!!! I doubt the racers would agree though. However, Steve Curtis and the crew on board Maritimo did not slow down much.

Love the paint on the Qatar- kind of reminds me of American Muscle II.
