We usually drive but decided to take the express. We had a long drive to arrive early and then hours to key west. Parking at Fort Meyers is 10$ a day free at Marco. Return trip arrived quit late. It was a nice trip but would not do it again. We would drive.

It is disappointing to hear that you don't intend to sail with us again. Most find our service to be an enjoyable component of their Key West vacation as we remove the hassle of driving and impossible parking in Key West from of the equation. Many choose to extend their stay for a few days rather than try to fit...

Friendly staff. Did not give us a hard time for our large suitcases. Ride was smooth. Only complaint was the air conditioning was too cold!

I traveled Sept 8 2016 for a day trip out of Ft Myers Beach to Key West on the Big Cat Express. I found it to be a great experience. It was easy access from Sanibel and ticketing/parking was great, bought online and even printed my boarding and parking passes out ahead of time. Boarding was easy....no lines to speak...

I would recommend this to anyone and everyone, before booking the trip I was a bit skeptical based on some of the reviews, but decided to do it anyway (who wants to drive from key west drunk). I'm sorry I didn't make the...

The boat is comfortable and can be quite enjoyable if traveling with a group. Bring cards, games or poker chips and the 4 hours will go by quick. Add in the availability of a...
