Miami Travel Forum

In your online information there are 2 different prices for the ferry boat from Miami to Key West. One says $48.00 per person, 1-way and the other says $138.00 R/T which does not equal $48.00 per person, 1-way. Which one is the correct price?

cheryly- the problem you have is that you are looking at TIPS that date back a few years. One tip is dated Feb 2007 and the other even older August 2004.

These Tips are not always UP DATED by the original posters. So they can get stale and tell the wormng story.

I just read somewhere that the Miami - Key West ferry service was no longer offered this year. It seems that it now runs from Fort Myers & Marco Island.

Rent a car in Miami and drive to Key West. The drive over all ove the bridges between the islands is one of the more unique drives in the world.

Puerto is correct, the ferry service is not in operation.
As he suggests, make sure tips are updated or, look up members actually living in Miami.
As the other poster suggests, rent a car and drive.
Be careful, road conditions can get hectice, especially during weekend congestions and particularly, on Sunday evenings when everyone is driving back north into Miami.
