Ocean Reef Club operates differently from any other destination in Florida. Success here depends on understanding the private nature of the community, the exclusivity of access, and the rhythms of club life.

You Do Not Need to Be a Member to Fly with Air Flight Charters

But you do need to be a member or an invited guest to enter the club. Air Flight Charters handles all coordination with the club on your behalf. When you book with us, we manage the approvals and communication so you do not have to worry about the logistics.

Ocean Reef Club Is a Community, Not Just a Resort

Homeowners live here year-round. The club has a grocery store, a post office, a medical clinic, and even its own fire department. The atmosphere is residential, not transient. Respect that distinction.

The Airport Has Limited Hours

The FBO is staffed daily from 8 AM to 5 PM. Arrivals outside those hours require advance coordination. Air Flight Charters handles this planning for you.

The Club Is Built Around the Water

Most activities—fishing, diving, boating, dining—center on the marina. If you are not a boater, consider a charter. The reef is too good to miss.

Dining Reservations Are Recommended

While the club has over a dozen restaurants, popular spots like Gianni Ristorante and the Raw Bar fill up, especially during peak season (December through April). Make reservations in advance.

What to Pack for Ocean Reef Club

Resort casual attire is the standard. Golf shirts, sundresses, shorts, and sandals are appropriate for most dining and activities. Some restaurants request collared shirts or closed-toe shoes. Bring swimwear, cover-ups, sun protection, and casual evening wear. For boating and fishing: polarized sunglasses, reef-safe sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and a light jacket for winter evenings (December through February).

Hurricane Season Runs June 1 to November 30

Peak risk is September through October. Ocean Reef Club has robust evacuation plans. Travel insurance is strongly recommended during these months. Monitor weather forecasts before departure.

The Club Is Close to the Reef, Not Close to Miami

The Overseas Highway (US-1) is the only road out of Key Largo. Accidents or construction can cause delays. This is why flying private matters. When the highway is blocked, your arrival at 07FA puts you already on the property.

Temperatures by Season

• December to February: 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Coolest months. Evenings require a light jacket.
• March to May: 72°F to 82°F (22°C to 28°C). Best balance of warmth and low humidity.
• June to August: 78°F to 90°F (26°C to 32°C). Hot and humid. Afternoon showers are common.

September to November: 75°F to 85°F (24°C to 29°C). Hurricane risk peaks from September through October.
