Old Florida Charm:

Anna Maria Island is an old-style city where the speed limit never exceeds 35mph. This traditional city is filled with quaint fishing piers, dining options, boutique shops, water activities, scenic views, shops, galleries, and so much more. When you’re done exploring out at sea, we’ll dock you at our Galati Marina where you can venture out and explore these top attractions on foot.

  • City Pier– Although this historic landmark was demolished in the summer of 2018 due to damages from hurricane Irma, plans for a rebuild are set in place. Construction should be complete in late 2019 or early 2020.
  • Historic Green Village– Only one of 100 such developments in the world, this platinum LEED, net-zero energy development combines old charm history and technology. Drawing power from solar panels, recycling rainwater, and energy savings due to super-insulated buildings. Plus, this green site is home to 4 buildings over 100 years old. The Sears Cottage, The Pillsbury Home, The Rosedale Cottage and Thelma by the Sea.
  • Anna Maria Historical Museum– Holding the history of this picturesque town, the Anna Maria Historical Museum is located in the heart of Anna Maria Island. Hear the history of old fish tales and stories of homesteaders with over 120 years of photos, documents, and artifacts. A truly beautiful look into the past of this small town.

 

Dining Options with No Chain in Sight:

With over 50 dining options, foodies will love this island with hardly any chain restaurants in site.  Enjoy waterfront dining, ice cream parlors, donut shops, and so much more. While docked at the Galati Marina check out these top picks located within a mile of Galati Yacht Sales.

Amazing Weather

Florida weather, in general, is one of the top reasons to book an Anna Maria Yacht Charter. With constant sunshine and warm weather, it makes every day a good day to enjoy life out at sea or exploring inland.

If you plan to explore inland during your yacht charter, no worries, we will dock you right at the Marina at Galati Yacht Sales and you are free to explore the town as you wish. Here are a few top choices that require a drive but are well worth it.

  • Horseback Riding– Yes, you read that right. Palma Sola Bay just is the only spot where you can go horseback riding on the beach legally. Enjoy a unique experience while soaking in the views of Palma Sola Bay.
  • The Doctor’s Office– No, not an actual doctor’s office, although it use to be. This craft cocktail bar serves up “preferred medications” all made to order and crafted to perfection.
  • Historic Bridge Street– The southernmost tip of Anna Maria Island where you can find plenty of shops, dining options, bars, and the bridge street pier.
  • Cortez Village- A working fishing village with colorful cottages, tattered boats, dockside fish joints and markets and home to one of the best seafood spots on the island, the Star Fish Company & Restaurant.
