For 16 years, Mel Fisher famously searched for the 1622 Spanish galleon Atocha, a treasure ship packed with gold, jewels and booty. On July 20, 1985 he found it, in the waters right off of Key West. Every year, the island celebrates his $450 million discovery with a funky weekend of parties, tours and more. Dress up in your finest pirate outfit for the pirate pub crawl and pirate ball, or sign up for a VIP tour of the Fisher family’s Private Conservation Laboratory. Join in the fun on a boat party, or chill out at a barbeque brunch and play some booty bingo. Do you dream of finding treasure yourself? Head on a hunt and search the ocean for the next big find.
