Our pilot (Gary, I think?) was the perfect blend of laid-back islander and professional aviator. It's clear that he loves his job, and why wouldn't he?? The flight is awesome and worth every penny. I wish we had gotten more than just a couple of hours on the island, but it was still a great excursion.
Outstanding! Well worth the price. Hands down the best way to get to Ft. Jefferson. We will be going again on out next visit. Everyone form the booking staff to the pilot were
A wonderful experience. The plane and crew along with a remote national park make for a must do trip. The snorkeling equipment was provided, we saw interesting coral and a nice variety of tropical fish. The fort and it's history are fascinating.
I would guess that we would have had a great time but I can only throw out there buyer beware and have backup plans. We had the call to tell us our flight was "cancelled" about 10 minutes before we were to go to the airport due to weather. We asked several boaters and checked local weather and couldn't see anything to confirm that. Our suspicion was they overbooked or bumped for someone willing to pay more. As saiddon't get your hopes up and have backup plans
If it's in your budget, don't think twice. We had a great flight out and back with Rob. We took the early flight and had the island to ourselves to explore and snorkel around. I highly recommend this.
This was absolutely the best trip i have ever been on. From the booking of the flight with Fiona in the office to Our pilot and narrator Gary. What an outstanding time. The snorkeling gear they provided was top notch. The coolers and beverages made available to us was very nice touch. The planes are clean and well maintained and the Pilot we had, Gary was a complete Pro. He flew that plane like he was born with it. The Park, Ft. Jackson and the trip out there cant be describe in mere words. I recommend this trip with Key W@est Seaplane Adventures to anyone. The time of my life. Thanks and Ill be back. Louis and Lisa Bruno
The only way to get to Ft. Jefferson! I recommend taking the sea plane (first departure) so you can have the island to yourself (the ferry drops off a couple hundred right before you leave). You will have a great visit and a great trip!
