If you book 8 days in advance the price from Ft. Myers is $88 ';plus fees';.
Just wanted to warn those considering travel via the ferry that the fees are $36.
$20 if you鈥檙e going on the weekend and $16 for fuel, marina surcharges (whatever that is!), and tax.
Total ticket price was $124 and they are non-refundable.
Key West Express- warning on fees
Taxes are self-explanatory. Fuel surcharges are an additional cost (Many delivery and trucking companies charge them) to off-set the volitile cost of fuel. (Three weeks ago, the lowest cost for gas per gallon in Key West as $2.43 - Today, it%26#39;s $2.79 and climbing)
Those big cats gobble the fuel!
As for marina charges... They have to pay a %26#39;docking fee%26#39; much like aircraft have to pay a landing fee. That charge can also change. The only fixed cost a transportation company can reliably charge is their base fee... Everything else can change rapidly and they have to pass those along in order to continue operating.
