The shuttle will depart Key West for Islamorada at 10:30pm from the Key West Post Office. (Note: If you arrange your own transport to and from Key West, there is no fee for this activity).

All minors under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the reunion.  

All events planned are dependent upon the cooperation of the weather and safe seas.

Check-in begins at 1pm on Friday, 10/9, at the Registration Building (73800 Overseas Hwy, Islamorada, FL 33036). Enjoy a quick dinner at your favorite Keys hang-out before joining us for a welcome reception on Friday night!

During your stay, you’ll have the opportunity to reconnect with the places, programs, and people that have made Sea Base so special—and to give something back to the place that has given so much to all of us.

Spend time exploring both the Islamorada Sea Base and Brinton Environmental Center, with opportunities to tour the facilities, see today’s programs in action, revisit familiar places, and discover how Sea Base has grown and changed through the years. Whether you served here decades ago or more recently, this is your chance to experience Sea Base from a whole new perspective.

And because this weekend is about more than remembering the past, we’ll also have opportunities to give back. Service projects are planned, giving reunion participants a chance to roll up their sleeves and leave Sea Base a little better than we found it—just as generations of staff and volunteers have done before us.

The weekend will also include an optional excursion to Key West, a sunset cruise, and plenty of time for relaxation, refreshments, storytelling, and camaraderie with old friends and new ones.

Registered guests will receive additional information before the reunion about the weekend schedule, available activities, service opportunities, and the optional Key West excursion. Some optional activities may involve an additional cost and may be subject to minimum or maximum participation, schedule changes, or weather conditions.

Even the most adventurous Sea Base pirate needs a comfortable place to drop anchor and get some rest! Housing at the Florida Sea Base in Islamorada will be available in the SCUBA Dorms and Thomas Building on a first-come, first-served basis.

SCUBA Dorms: Dorm lodging can accommodate individuals, families, and groups of varying sizes, with semi-private shared bathroom facilities. This is a great option for those who want the full reunion experience and the fun of staying right on base.

Thomas Building: For those looking for a little more privacy, rooms in the Thomas Building can accommodate up to two adults and include a private bathroom. Guests may be assigned a roommate or may reserve a room for themselves for an additional cost, subject to availability.

Bed and bath linens will be provided by Sea Base for all on-base lodging.

Prefer to Stay Off-Base? No problem! Guests who prefer one of the many hotels and other accommodations throughout the beautiful Florida Keys may choose a reunion registration option that includes meals and activities without on-base lodging.

For questions about family lodging, private rooms, special accommodations, or other lodging needs, please contact Reunion@SBAFA.org.

Whether you bunk on base or make your home elsewhere in the Keys, we look forward to welcoming you back to Sea Base!

Limited activities are planned for Sunday afternoon. Sea Base camp activities will continue to be available for all guests. 

• Camp Activities: Enjoy exploring the activities and waterways around the Islamorada Sea Base property. Take advantage of the fleet of kayaks and paddleboards to get up close and personal with mangroves, fishes, and the island coast. Staff will be available to assist with equipment, and life jackets will be provided.

  Board Meeting: Starting at 3:30pm, guests are welcome to join the Sea Base Alumni & Friends Association for our board meeting, where we will discuss ongoing and future activities and news. Learn about our mission to help support the Florida Sea Base camp activities and see how you can help in the coming years!

  Sunset Cruise and Luau: All guests are invited on a sunset cruise at 6pm to enjoy the end of a beautiful day on the open water, followed by a special Luau Dinner at camp at 7:15ish pm on shore.
