A popular destination year round, it becomes especially attractive to all sorts of people the first few months of the year.
The most popular and highest regarded Key West restaurants are ready to capitalize on this influx of people that will reach its first early peak of popularity the week of January 19 through the 24 when the Quantum Regatta makes its annual appearance in the waters off of the Florida Keys. Collecting some of the greatest racers and their boats from around the world, this is one of the finest opportunities anywhere in the world to see sail powered racing at the highest level.
The excitement of the event isn't limited just to the sailing.

The small town atmosphere and lively nightlife make for the perfect chance of spending time with people from all around the globe and share the love of sailing.
Key West, Florida is a city with a five hundred year history that has always been intimately tied to the ocean. Therefore, a Key West vacation during the Quantum Regatta is the perfect time to discover why so many people refer to this tropical paradise as "A quaint little tourist town with a sailing problem."
