- 4 people + 1 dog + 1 boat = an epic week of boat life in the Florida Keys! 🛥️☀️🌴🌊
From gorgeous anchorages, falling off paddle boards, swimming with turtles, getting poured on in a dinghy, running low on toilet paper, delicious home cooked meals, fun game nights, cruises full of dancing, and surviving the southern Florida heat with limited showers and AC, we had an absolute blast living aboard @SchoandJo 's boat!

That was such a great recap of our time together in the keys. We don't often get such beautiful ocean cruising days, but are so happy we were able to share those spectacular memories at the reef with y'all. We can't wait for our next adventure in a few short months. Love you, guys! 💕
What a fun visit with A&K! We’ve subscribed to your channel looking forward to watching your videos! ~Cara 😊
We had so much fun cruising and hanging! We are so pumped for the next adventure! ❤❤
Such a beautiful place. It’s also such a shame that you are limited on filming in National Parks without the lengthy and costly time to get a permit. We learn so much from your park tours. We have gone to many of the same spots because of your videos to experience them. I pray that this doesn’t prevent you from being able to share your adventures. We look forward to them every week. God bless you both.
Yes it is a bummer. We’re hoping they can make it a more streamlined process soon! That makes us so happy to hear we could help with your trips! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Amen on your post Scott. (especially the National Park rule)
You two are perfect for each other.
Nothing better than good times with good friends. This was so much fun to watch!
You got that right! Thanks, Ruth!
Wow! Forty two and a half minutes? Incredible! Thanks to Scho & Jo for a wonderful, epic journey to a place i've never been before. Loved all y'all for the beautiful sunsets, and you two especially for sharing your time with us landlubbers. I live on a lake and it's not nearly as fun as y'all had. From the bottom of my heart.............Thanks!
Wahoo! We had a blast with our friends in and out of the water! Thanks, Richard!
I think this is one of your best videos. photography and editing was stellar......
Thanks so much, Ken!
This was a joy to watch…you guys had so much fun and made some wonderful memories with amazing friends! Everything in this vlog brought me many happy vibes! Some of fish and other sea life are so AMAZING! I really like the sea turtles! I’m so excited to see which continent you’re headed to next! 🤩😍😁
Your comments always bring a smile to our faces, Brad! We had a blast swimming with the sea turtles! We can't wait to share where we're headed!
42 plus minutes!!! 😮 What a treat. 🎉 ❤
Wahoo!
This was an AMAZING video…the friendship you share with Jen and Elliot is priceless…so happy that you all found each other! I could list everything else great about this video but I will just leave it at, “this trip and adventure looked like it was the BEST!” 💞❤️💞
We're so lucky to have them as our friends!
What a beautiful trip with beautiful friends 👍🏼👍🏼 love it!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
So great, So glad to hear you have another adventure scheduled with them
We enjoyed every second of the 42:30 min video wow! The epic drone and underwater shots and the dance party! You guys were like a bunch of kids just having fun! We’ve subscribed to their channel too. Outstanding video guys what fun! ~Cara 😊
We had so much fun and were so stoked on the footage! Scho and Jo are the best! Thanks guys!
Every time you take the camera under the water with you, (including jumping in) THANK YOU! I've had the good fortune to snorkel on coral reefs several times in my long life. When Adam said, 'This is the best day of my life!" I totally got it.
The adventures of A + passenger Princess... : - ) Thanks for taking us along!
OMG! I was at John Pennekamp S.P. like 2 months ago, and my brother and I went snorkeling. It was an unforgettable experience. My brother actually had to convince me to do it, and I'm so glad he did.
That park is very nice! Gorgeous water!
One of your best!
Kat with the impressive hat combo @ 11:32
SUCH a gorgeous video!!! Makes me want to ditch my whole life and buy a boat.
Boat life is a great time with good conditions and when you know what you're doing!
The Keys are a vibe, and the further south you go, the more you will feel that vibe. It's some serious sub-tropical Mojo. Whenever I snorkel those reefs I dream in color that night because of all the crazy colors of the fish.
Ya we saw so many crazy colored fish! I couldn't believe it! We're excited to visit the rest of the Keys one day!
Those sunsets were beautiful & amazing 😍 looks so much fun! Thanks for sharing!
We got lucky with an amazing sunset almost every night!
Hello Adventurers😊😊🍰🍰🍕🍕🍗🍗🍔🍔😎😎, Ohhh WOW what an AWESOME ADVENTURE😊😊😊...on the SEAS! We also checked out Robbies while we were down there. Alex, my son screamed at the sight of PELICANS haha haha! This was OUTSTANDING👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.
Those pelicans were relentless! We sure did have an awesome adventure down there!
What a fantastic video! The joy on your faces!
Such a fun video we watch you both so it was fun watching.
I'm so glad you both had a really good time. I loved seeing Jen & Elliot, & look forward to seeing them again.. Those pelicans were looking for an easy meal. Hated you got nipped on the arm. Did it leave a bruise? I loved seeing the turtles swimming. Loved seeing the fish. Just a beautiful video. Loved the Dolphin Queen too! Have a safe trip back t9 Texas. Eager to see where we go next.🤗
The pelicans were very opportunistic! Luckily it didn’t hurt at all. They didn’t get much of me. The fish and sea life were so beautiful! Thanks, Kimberly!
Omg the turtles!!! 🥹🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️
That - is the way to see and enjoy the Florida Keys, because only so many people can fit on those rocky little islands connected by bridges. Tourist overload! What an amazing adventure you had and getting to enjoy what the Keys are all about - that crystal clear turquoise water. I’ve been there so many times (having lived in So. Florida) but someday I intend to do what you just did. Until then I’ll just keep on dreamin.....
We thought boat life is the best way to experience it also! It wouldn't be very fun in the van! We had a blast in that beautiful water
Great video!!
That was an amazing video! Looks like a blast!!!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
What a great trip with so many adventures. Nothing like catching up with friends.
What an awesome vacation
Loved the mad hat Kathryn and the boat dancing. Fantastic clear water and amazing colourful fish.👍😊🇮🇪🇺🇲⛱️💙 🐠🐟
Thanks, Don!
Wow this looks incredible!❤
Loved all the marine life 💙 and that find on land was great 👍 hot showers 🚿 r amazing! LOVED your friends ❤️ getting into the dancing 🕺 💃 too!
Scho and Jo are the best! We’re lucky to have them as friends! We had so much fun with them
It looks like Hurricane Ian didn’t do the devastating damage in this part of The Florida Keys. Fun video!
Yes we didn't notice any damage so that is a positive! Thanks for watching!
Awesome video, guys! The Keys are so beautiful! 😄
Thanks, Rachael!
Cool!!!
"It's so salty " , so funny !
😂 no duh right?!
Glad you had such a great time!
Beautiful! Thank you!
Woooooo looks great. ❤ key lime is one of my absolute favorites. 😊
Cool video, literally. Your friends are awesome adventures as you are as well, and it helps to have an interesting cook aboard !
Wow, Awesome episode and so much fun seeing your adventures boating with friends.
We had a blast! Thanks, Alan!
What great memories you've made! It's been fun getting to know your friends - and you got them to dance with you, too!!! Love the aerial shots above the waters - the blues are breathtaking! And didn't you just want to reach out and hug those turtles??? Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this travelogue!!
Jen and Elliot are the best! They are some enthusiastic dancers as well! 😜 when we first met them they shared with us a musical artist called Two Friends who create these remix songs called Big Bootie Mixes. We were jamming those on our cruising days! Check it out if you're into that kind of music (top 40 pop and hip hop usually)
The sea turtles were so awesome! We couldn't believe they were hanging out with us so much!
Thank you!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Thanks - I'll check out that music!!!
We went snorkeling near JP park a few years ago. No turtles, but a couple of reef sharks and a 6’ wide sting ray. So much fun.
Whoaaa! That's so cool!
Awesome episode thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Such a fun adventure I miss florida
We are watching you from Joe and Sho, you guys are gonna be boaters now. We are.
We had a blast on their boat, but we love the mountains too much to be boaters. But never say never! Thanks for watching!
This was such a fun video! I enjoyed it so much and it really brightened my day!
Thank you! Thanks for watching! ❤
What a beautiful place! The water, the boats, the wildlife! Hard to beat south Florida. ❤️ Great video!
We had amazing conditions and friends! Thanks, David!
WOW AWESOME what a great adventure. You guys are awesome and truly amazing.
Good friends, good times, good video…a joy to watch
Thanks, Bob!
So much fun in this - thank you! Again, you put another wonderful place on my radar. Glad you have such great friends.
Thanks and thanks for watching, Marlo!
Look like a awesome time.
This was SUCH A FUN VIDEO! I learned of Jenn and Elliot when watching your amazing 500 mile bike ride across Iowa. After that I found your video from Merida Mexico, where you mentioned going to see them. and then found this video of your visit with them - SO MUCH FUN! and now I am going to watch their video - America's Great Loop. YAY! Such nest friends! ❤
Jenn and Elliot are the best! We're so thankful to have such cool friends!
Thanks!
Having spent a few weeks anchored outside of No Name last year, I can say you totally captured the vibe and experience so well!! Nice job!
Thanks, Todd!
This has got to be one of my all time favorite videos of ya'lls to date! Loved watching all the fun you had and you made this Floridian want to make the drive back down to the keys soon.
Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
😍😍😍 so so so so beautiful and awesome!!! This was such a great video. I love you allll!
Thank you, Laura! ❤
Awesome video!
Great video, we have timeshares 1/2 mile from Robbies that we have been going to for 20 years. Loved the Alaska highlights video, we are doing almost the same trip in June. Went two years ago as soon as Covid opened up, but only for 10 days. Going for a month this time. Save travels, we live in Sarasota and if you need a couple nights we live on 2 acres close to town. Camping in FL is crazy, cant get a reservation anywhere, considering camping in the backyard.
That’s awesome! Thanks for the offer! We hope you have a blast in Alaska!
Looks like fun, here I in minus 33. Ty loved video
Thanks, Dennis!
Your videos are so relaxing and inspiring ! Thank you guys !
Thanks and thanks for watching!
I love following your adventures around America! Gives me so much inspiration to explore the country I live in!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Such a great new episode! Probably one of the best, with those underwater and drone shots! Florida is the place to film! And long enough to really enjoy and immerse yourself in subtropical experience! :)))))
Thank you so much!
Loved this! The wildlife is always a favorite. We just got back from Mexico and got to see so much of it! Always a perfect trip when the animal count is high!! Excited to see what fun Asian activities y’all get in to!!❤
Exactly! When the animal count is high you know it's an awesome trip! We're excited to share these epic Asia videos!
What a fantastic week you've had and that sunset was so gorgeous! Surprised you didn't see any manatee's in the mangroves. Can't wait to see what's next!
We were lucky to have several nice sunsets during our trip! They were magical. We were surprised we didn’t see some manatees also!
What a great video. We are headed to key west in April and enjoyed your adventure. Makes us want Togo now.
We hope you have as much fun as we did! Thanks and thanks for watching!
So great you video is. I wish it was launched a few days earlier!!! I especially visited your channel to see if you had any videos about Florida keys one week ago cause i was booking my trip to Maiami and Florida Keys. Subscribed you since 2020 when booking my trip to Seattle that year. Really like your videos❤❤
Oh man! Too bad we just missed it! We're glad we can be a resource though! Thanks and thanks for watching, Lai!
That was amazing! I loved looking at that wonderful blue water!! I’m so glad you had some amazing R & R!!! We just got back from a trip to UT and we did the Watchmen Trail at Zion; after watching you do this trail, I realized we had not done it and decided that on our next visit to the area, we would do it!
That's one of our favorite trails of all time!
Oh man I’d be hopping right in with the sharks! Such amazing creatures ❤
You're brave than us!
Loved the video!! The water was so clear! I am bummed about the National Park rules! I’ve learned a lot about the parks from your video’s!! I’m enjoying 2023 travels so far! Can’t wait to see where y’all go next!!
Hopefully the parks can come up with a more practical solution soon! Thanks, Annette!
Very nice 🙂
Fun video, snorkeling is so amazing and I'm glad you guys had a good time with friends! My guess for new continent: South America or Australia...can't wait to see the next video!
We had forgotten how fun snorkeling could be! You’re close-ish on your guess!
Hi A+K! I found your videos when researching our South Dakota trip last year and then followed your Alaska trip (we road-tripped there in 2019). I love your content! I live in Florida and spend quite a bit of time in the Keys. I also lived the cruising life for a couple years in the mid-1990s, so I really enjoyed this video. I remember when Robbie’s was a quiet, hidden gem. Access to the dock was free, and big bait buckets were $1. I drive by there now, and it’s crazy busy! Anyway, looking forward to the next adventure!
Thanks so much for watching, Brian! Robbie's was super packed and it wasn't even a weekend!
My gf is from key west so we go there every few years to visit.. the turtle hospital is a must, a lobster rueban from key fisheries in marathon and the blonde giraffe has the best pie in the keys. I will argue with anyone about this list 🤜🤛
We’d love to check that stuff out next time! Thanks for watching, Shane!
At the moment you all were getting stormed on a crazy hail storm (very rare) hit my house in San Jose CA. Perfect timing. 😂😂😂
Yikes! We hope all is well!
Y'all are just so cute to watch. :) Thanks for making really good, informative and fun videos. I'm planning a long trip (NE) for next fall and y'all have covered several of those states, so it's really been fun to watch many of your videos and helpful to take notes, adding hikes and food stops to my trip plan. I enjoyed your Keys videos as well, we live in Florida and head to the Keys every summer (as long as we can get a spot at our favorite place, Bahia Honda). You looked like you were really enjoying it, we always do to. Again thanks for all the info and for being so fun and entertaining to watch. P.S. I'm glad y'all don't drink, we don't either and it's refreshing for a change that your videos aren't all about where to find the best drinks. ;)
I live 10 minutes from Lake Erie. Not quite ocean size but still awesome., without the sharks and other man eating creatures. I still enjoyed your adventure and am glad you are safe and could renew your friendships. Now I'm getting hungry for key lime pie.!! 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋♂️
We love the Great Lakes! They are like oceans, but without the salt and sharks!
OMgosh! You two have way too much energy, lol JK. I love it! So cool I stumbled onto your channel and low and behold there is one of my favorite channels @schoandjo 10:22 I don’t think I would get in the water, either. Ollie is the star of your channel too, lol
How awesome! Scho and Jo are some of our best friends! Ollie is definitely a show stopper! 😍
I Pivoted over to your channel from SchoandJo's. Nice production you guys, will try you out and see how you move in life.
Woohoo! Thanks for watching!
Good job with the sharks. What kind? Rays are in the shark family, too. Boat life......
We only saw Nurse Sharks which are apparently harmless, but still scary to see if you don't know much about them. It was a fun time!
Irene Iron Fitness, I hope you two bring home the win!!❤
I'm not sure that this comment is meant for us, but we hope they bring home the win too!
Blonde Giraffe is the best spot for Key Lime
great change of pace for you guys, so different from Alaska
definitely! Alaska feels like so long ago! We miss it
Beautiful trip and lovely tans, you were a little pale at the beginning 🥰🐕
haha yes we certainly got a little color! 😊
I’m actually planning something like this but on jet skis over 7 days
Now that sounds fun!
Some times you need a more relaxing on the road (water) trip.
You got that right!
Very interesting adventure. I was wondering about your filming in the NP as a couple of other vlogers have said that they no longer will (or can) do that due to the permit requirement. Thanks for the trip, can't wait to see where you will end up next. Until next time... Travel safe.
Yeah the permit process is a bummer but hopefully they can implement a more streamlined process soon! We’re excited to share what’s next!
Awesome trip in Florida guys! Sucks how the new rules are for the National Parks are, but really enjoyed all of the snorkeling, swimming and fun! My guess for new continent is South America. But really looking forward to wherever it ends up being.
Yeah, hopefully the parks can come up with a more practical solution soon. We're excited to share soon!
Hearing that you'll be reaching all 50 states by the end of the year has me super excited to see what you guys have planned for my home state, Iowa! I know, probably the state you're least excited to visit, but there's a few gems tucked away if you go looking! Can't wait to see where you go! If you're looking for suggestions from a local, let me know! -Jordan
We're actually really excited for Iowa! We'll be doing RAGBRAI so it's going to be a tough adventure! Unfortunately we won't have the van as we'll be flying in from Canada to do it so we'll be limited to RAGBRAI, but we definitely will want to return to see more! Thanks, Jordan!
I am only 10 episodes away from watching all of your videos! It’s been a nice thing to do on my downtime! All of your videos are great, but I especially love the National Parks. I think you only have 15 left before you have been to them all? Thanks for all the time and effort you put into all you do. Looking forward to keeping up with you!
Aww, man! I thought they resolved the issue of RUclipsrs filming in the Parks: that you weren’t “commercial”?! Darn it! I was hoping to see more NP’s from you 😔
@@sonny1172 the Price vs. Barr ruling that made filming in National Parks legal was overturned. Strictly read, any video shot in a National Park and uploaded to social media is considered “commercial.” Hopefully this will changed back. There is a bill stalled in the US Senate that would address this issue.
Thank you for letting me know that! I wasn’t aware. It is too bad, because RUclipsrs show how great the Parks are. Hopefully it gets overturned
That's awesome! Thanks so much for watching! Yes we only have 15 left! Going to be a bit before we finish them. Many of those remaining are tough to get to! Thanks, Sonny!
Yup, it's a bummer! Hopefully they create a more streamlined process soon. We're fine paying for a permit, but it's currently so restrictive and not conducive to how we travel
What a great video! I assume that it is ok to film in your NP's for private use?
For private use, yes. Thanks, Richard!
Sad you didn't do Cayo Costa state park on a Florida trip
Beautiful waters beautiful scenery. I do have a question. Do you feel any sickness motion sickness?
I (Adam) felt a little sea sickness when we cruised through some rough water, but once we got through it I felt much better. Other than that we felt great! Thanks for watching!
40+ minutes?!? Buckle up… 🎉
Wahoo!
I don’t fear sharks as I do jellyfish. Safe travels y’all! 🙌😊
Oh we saw lots of Man o' War! We tried to stay clear of those! Thanks!
snorkel in key west
We weren't able to make it all the way down to Key West this trip, but one day hopefully!
This adventure looked like so much fun! Your friends are such lovely people too 🛥🌴
Kathryn, you made me chuckle that you just found the term "passenger princess" you're the cutest! ☺
We had a blast with our friends! We had a good laugh at that too! 😂 thanks for watching!
Did you see any Saltwater Crocs at John Pennekamp State Park?
No we did not. Would have been cool to see!
OMG! I would not jump into that shark infested water ever. The canals are full if them.
