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.

The captains (Jason & Robyn this time) really focus on the guest's experience. This was our 4th private charter and I just can't say enough good things. From booking through Jason Hanson to enjoying a sunset sail, it's seriously the best outdoor excursion in town!

Five of us from a St. Pete ladies group met up to take this ferry boat out to Egmont Key for a little Day-cation. We all had a wonderful time! The boat was clean and the crew friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful and accomodating. The island was nothing short of spectacular! We explored for half our time and spent the other half lounging on the white sand beach having a picnic lunch before boarding the boat for the return trip. We spotted dolphins and manatees on the boat rides and nesting osprey & gopher turtles on the island. And the 360 degree views that can't be beat! We've all unanimously decided we must take this trip again.....and again! Well done Hubbard's Marina ~ Egmont Key Ferry ~ Fort Desoto Boat Launch
