Hubbard Marina trip to Egmont Key was wonderful! Been coming to this area for years, first trip to Egmont. We saw dolphins, a manatee, sharks, and dozens of birds. Captain Robin and Kim were great! Highly recommend!!

Great excursion! Very interesting place to visit while in Florida. Captain Zippy and crew were timely and accommodating with plenty of filtered water, chairs, floaties and snacks to make your beach experience comfortable. We saw 4 of the over 1,000 tortoises on the island and we found the remains of Fort Dade and the museum very interesting.

It is a very beautiful little Island that you could probably walk around in a couple of hours. There are some naval gun battery fortifications to visit, but these are a little rundown and might not be easily accessible for older people. Very nice beaches, but I recommend visiting in the winter months when the water is calmer, and there are fewer mosquitoes. There is a lighthouse that you can take some photographs of and there is also the remains of a town that was burnt to the ground though only one building has been rebuilt and the town is basically streets and building foundations. These are all overgrown and the only creatures living there are turtles Birds and a lot of mosquitoes. A great place to snorkel in the winter, but not the summer. I would also say that snorkeling there might be a challenge as there are dozens and dozens of boats anchored off the island and it might actually be tough to find a place to snorkel. We went on a Friday so I imagine the situation is even worse on a Saturday and Sunday. However, the ferry over from Fort De Soto state park is enjoyable, and we did get to see at least a dozen dolphins. The ferry is not free. It’s run by a company called Hubbards and cost roughly $45 per person. It’s actually cheaper to buy it at the park itself then online because online you get charged service fees. Overall nice place to visit, but not secluded and there are an awful lot of boats.

Did not see what all the hype was about this Island ..I think Anna Marie would be more enjoyable.. I thought it was an awfully dangerous place to be snorkeling when boats just come flying through there or stop and chum to fish where people are snorkling..the pics in advertisment are so misleading but hey to each there own..

Perfect family day. We got to fish, explore, skim board, nice beach. When the kids want to see more, go hike the battery, check out tortoises and racer snakes. Only negative is do not bring dogs, they aren't allowed on island. We left our puppy at home, but did see ranger enforcing rules on others. Also, no drinking beer on island and they do check.
