This ferry trip from Fort De Soto Bay Pier to Egmont Key State Park lasts about five hours in total. The ferry ride takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes each way, crossing waters where dolphins, sea turtles, and sometimes manatees can be seen. The boat used is the Hubbard’s Ferry, a large blue vessel that also frequently passes by sea birds. Upon arrival, passengers have about three hours on Egmont Key to enjoy activities such as shelling along the shore and swimming. Visitors can also explore Fort Dade, a historic fort dating back to the Spanish American War. The island is known for its population of endangered gopher tortoises. Snorkeling is available for purchase on the day of the trip but depends on weather conditions, water quality, and the presence of predator fish. The ferry includes restroom access and a galley for snacks while docked, but snacks, gratuities, and parking fees are not included.
