Will be vacationing in the Florida Keys. Thought about adding some time to the vacation and was wondering, are there short trips to any island? CAT boat? Any info would be appreciated.

Not necessarily looking to take a formal cruise!

The Key West Express runs between KW and Marco Island. There is also a new boat running from KW to Ft. Myers.

For a day trip, take the cat to Ft. Jefferson or you can take a sea plane.

Thanks Bill this is great. I looked real quick at the websites and they look so exciting!! I'm sure we will pick one. The seaplane is definitely different and worth a look!!

On this same topic, would there be anyway to get to a carribean island or bermuda or similiar?

Air Florida flys out of Ft. Lauderdale to the Bahamas.

Here is the website for Port Everglades (Ft. Lauderdale) It lists both day and mutiple day cruise ships.

Let us know what you decide. Have a great trip!

Bermuda is about 1,000 miles from Miami so that would be out. Bimini however, is about 50 miles from Miami.
