The Key West Express is an exciting way to bypass the slow going traffic through the Florida Keys to arrive at the most famous island, Key West. The high-speed ferry leaves in the morning, getting you from dock to dock in about three and a half hours. If you only have time for a day trip, catch the ferry back in the afternoon, but you can also stay for a few days. The boat has a windy top deck where you can work on your tan, or two air-conditioned levels with comfortable, first come first serve seating. The bartenders mix up lovely libations while the galley serves snacks to keep you satisfied on the excursion. The Gulf waters are beautiful as you pull away from land, and its always exciting to see dolphins playing in the wake of the boat. .
