Egmont Key Ferry from Ft. DeSoto in Tierra Verde, FL

Overview

If you want to spend some time on a beautiful pristine island paradise, the ferry to Egmont Key State Park from Fort De Soto is a great choice for you and your family! Get ready for a day of fun in the sun with Hubbard’s Marina. The ferry ride to the island is about 25-30 minutes and offers great chances to spot dolphins, sea turtles, and sometimes even manatees! We often spot sea birds on the ride to and from Egmont Key Island aboard the Hubbard’s Ferry, our big blue boat.

Once on the island, Egmont Key offers great shelling, swimming, and opportunities for adventures. Including Fort Dade, a fort that dates back to the Spanish American war for to explore. Egmont Key is also home to a large population of endangered native gopher tortoises!

Be sure to pack like you’re spending the day at the beach! Bring sunscreen, towels, bathing suits, protective hats, shirts. Egmont Key is a pristine island so come prepared with a cooler full of water, food and drinks.

From the moment we arrived to the time we left everything was great. Paul, in the ticket booth, was friendly, helpful and informative. Captain Josh was extremely fun as well. The ride was smooth and we stopped to watch dolphins on the way back. Egmont Key was great. Would love to go back and spend more time.

Today was probably the best day of our vacay! We boarded our boat to Egmont Key to see the lighthouse, we saw so much more and enjoyed the picnic we packed right there on the beach. Captain Zip and Scott were amazing guides and provided a history of the importance of the island. As a US History teacher I was quite impressed! We rented 2 beach chairs and an umbrella on board to use on the island. This trip was well worth the time and money! We highly recommend this activity for young and old alike. There’s something for everyone to enjoy!
