Fort Meyers to Key West Ferries

My wife and I are considering one of the ferries out of Fort Meyers to Key west for a day. My only concern is that we want to party on the way down without having to be concerned about offending. I don't want to travel on a vessel that prohibits partying. Any adult only ferries/party boats.

The ferry ride is only a couple of hours... can't you wait to party until you get there?... why would you want to get wasted on a boat when its so much better to do it there?... if you really can't wait... you may need some alcohol counseling... have fun!

Its Ft Myers.

Don't think there are adult only but the one i took, we could drink. There are some gambling boats too where there will not be many kids. Its 4 hoours. Not a big deal.

http://www.seakeywestexpress.com/ is the one I took. Thought I had put that in my OP. I can't find anything about their gambling cruise but I know they had it.

Chillax Tony.. I'm bustin your nut... The ride down can be very rough and often the shuttles cancel in bad weather... its also full of families and they don't want people barfin their fruity drinks on the deck...

The Gambling boats usually only leave Ft. Myers and head into the Gulf far enough to allow gambling... if there is one that goes all the way to Key West, I would love to hear about it...

Its very hard to use sarcasm without the right tone... but trust me, its a short trip, why drink and risk getting sick???

But its your vacation....... have fun

In past years there have been gambling boats in Key West, but there are none there now.

You should be aware, too, as other posters have mentioned, that it's a 3 1/2 hour boat ride and can occasionally be choppy. I've never been on one of those ferrys, but my understanding is that they're family-friendly. If you'll look at the Key West Express web site, you'll see that no alcohol is allowed on board.

As I recall, the Ft. Myers boat arrives in Key West at noon and leaves Key West at 6.
