Knowing the length, draft, air draft would yield better guidance.

If you wish to hire a licensed competent professional USCG Master- I know a guy…… Check my profile for a link

No need to head south if Naples Greece is your destination.

Have you thought about transiting across the state via the OWW? Certainly another option with out having to deal with the Keys.

Re: Navigation - Fort Lauderdale to Naples

I just completed that route, and sometimes keep my boat in Naples.

I can give you beginner route, and convenient stops every 50 miles or so.

Post the specs on your boat, and what your requirements are.
