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 the whole family! Get ready for a day of fun in the sun. Our ferry boat operates from the Fort De Soto Bay Pier daily in the spring and summer and nearly every day in the fall and winter. The ferry ride to the island is about 45-60 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!
Snorkeling is sold separately on the day of the trip and not always guaranteed. Dependent on water quality, weather, predator fish.

The island is a perfect place for shell collecting. The crew turned the trip into a dolphin adventure. They were very engaging and helpful.

Perfect day to go weather- and crowd-wise. Captains Zip and Robin were great; informative and available. 2.5-3 hours on the island is just right for shelling, exploring and a swim. Saw LOTS of gopher tortoises and a flying stingray to boot! Love the brick streets to nowhere...they add an element of mystery and fire the imagination as to what it would have been like to have lived there. The trip turned a skeptic in our group into wanting to go back already.
