The way the process works seems fair enough, except if your a traveler that plans to return the same day. If you arrive at 8:15am you will be one of the last to board on the return ride that evening, so be at least 2 hrs earlier for the return fare. That will leave you about three hours in Key... more

Last week's roundtrip to Key West included a group of 10 fireman and their spouses who boarded the boat drunk and disembarked even drunker. Their loud yelling from one deck to another, staggering around, boorish behavior, and yelling at their wives to "show us your boobs" was observed by numerous passengers and families with children. Several crew observed all of... more

I will have to say that our most recent trip down to Key West over the Memorial Day weekend was disappointing on the Key West Express. We have traveled to Key West many times and in just about every conceivable way and were looking forward to experiencing the Key West Express. Hearing that it was a pleasant ride from people... more

I was concerned reading some of the negative reviews on tripadvisor, but my experience was 100% great. Nice clean boat, smooth ride, great staff. Perhaps if it is real rough and/or the boat is crowded it might not be fun, but we had a blast. Had a big table all to ourselves, my wife read her book and I kept... more

My husband and I took the Key West Expess from Ft. Myers April 20 2009. As another reviewer pointed out - everything is clearly spelled out in the information on the web site and the information they send you after booking. You are made well aware of the fact that if you elect to return a different day than the... more

The Key West Express is a nice, relaxing way to get to Key West. The food is horribly overpriced on the boat, but you're allowed to bring on your own food and I would recommend this. They show a movie which helps pass the time. The boat is nice and clean. The trip back with the sunset are great! more

What a great way to get to Key West from the West Coast of Florida. This ferry is fully equipped with bars and grills to make the 3 1/2 hour trip just fly by. There are also flat screen TV's throughout with satellite coverage and some great reclining chair if you want to nap on the way down. 4 of... more

We used the boat to cut 5 hours off our trip to Key West and it was defiantly the way to go. I've read some of the other reviews and here's what I experienced. The ride was fine and I saw no one getting sick on either trip. There were some drinkers but if you go to the mid level... more

How can two such beautiful cities tolerate the unethical business practices of the Key West Express Ferry Service that operates (at their pleasure) between Marco Island and Key West? In January 2009 we booked round trip service for two seniors to travel from Marco Island to Key West on February 17 and return on February 19. We were informed that... more
