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.

This was a great time. Definitely recommend the snorkel excursion as well up to the shores of the bird sanctuary. On our return, we encountered gopher tortoises,leopard rays, a manatee, and a dolphin sighting!

I can’t say enough good things about this experience. I had the perfect day. I went alone. Took a chair and umbrella and a small beach bag. The walk to the beach wasn’t bad. I saw turtles. Our captains Zip and I think Robin were fantastic. We saw Eagle Rays, manatee and dolphin on the trip back. Egmont key is a pristine beach and I felt like I was in the Caribbean. Booking was easy. Great way to spend a morning or afternoon.

This was our 2nd trip. The first was to Shell Key. This trip was to Egmont Key. Captain Jason and Captain Robin were awesome. They know their stuff and are willing to share it all with us while taking us to the island. It was great seeing Robin again. Genuinely surprised when she recognized us from a past trip. Kat and Amy
