It all depends on breeze. If you on anchor, it's ok. If you are tied up
at the dock, especially in Aug and Sep, then it's tough, but then you
have shore power.

The only time I've been badly distressed in FL during summer is being
anchored in the inland near a spit of land which was full of flying
insects. I wanted to shut the boat up due to the insects -- not the heat.

I suggest you TRY it first and then decide. I never had any temperature
issues away from land aside from flyng insects.
