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.

Saw several dolphins on the ride to Egmont. Enjoyed Robin's history overview of the area; she made it a fun ride for our whole family, remembering our kids' names and making a big deal out of our little birthday girl. Egmont was beautiful and historically interesting. Hard to do everything you'd like to in the 2 hrs though! Crews were redoing the beach which meant that a good part of the normally open area was closed off. I wish we'd known that ahead of time as we'd been excited about shell hunting.

The ferry ride should have been canceled it was very choppy and cool day. There also is no bathroom facilities when you get there. We wanted to cancel but you can’t get money refunded after 24 hours. We ended up not going and was out $ 100.00

The trip and day on the island was amazing . Our captain Josh and mate Robin were special .Their interaction with the passengers , especially the children on board made the trip as enjoyable as the location itself .Wouldn’t hesitate recommending this trip to anyone .
