Sponsored Trailer Sailor Cruise Flordia Keys?

[HillbillyWanderer]

I am wanting to take my C22 down to the Keys this winter for a couple weeks this winter. I went to a sponsored cruise in Pensacola Fl this June and had a blast. Looking for the same in the Keys this winter. Does anybody know of anything like this? Any advice greatly appreciated.

Who was the sponsor? What was sponsored? The slips, moorings, ramp usage, chicken wings?
There is the everglade challenge every winter. I don't know if that is along the lines you are thinking about.
I think a yearly keys cruise would be a great idea.

The BEER Cruise in Pensacola FL in June. Mostly Trailer Sailors but a few big boats. Had about 25 boats. Mostly free just had to pay for parking truck/trailer and the first night at the marina the next night dropped anchor off Pensacola Boardwalk then went to Pirates Cove at no cost, then anchored just on other side of ocean with thin strip of land protecting us. Awesome trip. Love to find something like that in the Keys.

... not in the Keys but I know people enjoy them.

Another group has left South Dade Marina most years around the 1st of the year. Not sure if it is going to happen this year. More info on one of their cruises here...

Our trip reports below also cover that area with detail on anchorages we used and so forth,
