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.

Wow! Even with the red tide, my goodness what an experience! We took a ferry out on the 2 pm ferry July 29th and it was amazing. Our captain was fantastic and told us a ton about the island before we got there, so helpful! The island itself was gorgeous, we have been coming to St. Pete beach for 17 years and not made it out to Egmont before, it now will be a regular stop. The water was beautiful, seeing turtles and dolphins and now hotels in the background made my day!! Our kids ranged in age from 15-9 and they all enjoyed it. We brought our lunch and lots of water. But didn’t bring chairs or an umbrella, bring those for sure! It got hot out on the beach and a couple of soccer chairs with an umbrella would have made it much better. Plan on walking around a bit and use the bathroom before you go!! None on the island! What a beautiful experience and thanks to Hubbard’s for such an enjoyable time!

My family and I spent several hours on Egmont Key. The island, where you get off the ferry was not as nice as the opposite side. When you walk across the island the beach was beautiful. The sand was nice and the water was not rough at all. Remember to bring water, beach chair and a small umbrella and lots of sunscreen. The ferry ride to the island and back was made enjoyable by Art and Tony. They allowed the kids on the ferry to take turns driving back. The only reason why I didn’t give them 5 stars was, the Red tide, the dead fish at the state park and on the one side of the island where you get off the ferry. Which is not their fault, but the smell was bad.
