Ferry Service

Key West travel is popular among people looking for a laid back holiday and those taking a couple of days off from their visit to Miami. Ferry service is an excellent way to travel and suits the saying - “getting there is half the fun”. Traveling to Key West by road can get a little hectic with US 1 being the only road in use. The concentration of the cars on the road often leads to clogged roads especially on some of the single lane stretches. In such situations, the progress can be painfully slow.

By sea is a better and more exciting way to travel. On-board the intricately designed and crafted boats through the sparkling waters can be a memorable experience. The most remarkable thing about the travel by boat is that it is only slightly more expensive than road travel. Moreover, traveling by boats puts one to ease through the many hours of travel and eliminates the need for parking woes.

Key West Express is one of the best ways to travel to Key West. The ferry service operates from Macro Island, Fort Meyers and Key West. The boat used is a 155 foot jet propelled catamaran and has 3 decks. The luxurious ride comes with great seating facility - both indoors and outdoors and a full service bar and galley. Flat screen TVs with satellite are available on-board for an entertaining ride. Complete coast guard certification is provided.
