Snorkel the ruins of Egmont Key — Tampa Bay's most unique island
Egmont Key sits at the mouth of Tampa Bay, a quiet island with a working lighthouse, unspoiled beaches, and the submerged ruins of old military fortifications you can actually snorkel over. It's one of the most unique boat trips on Florida's Gulf Coast — and dolphins escort the ride more often than not.
Our private Egmont Key boat tours depart from the Pinellas Coast near St. Petersburg with your own captain and up to 6 guests. Snorkel the clear water around the ruins, comb the beaches for shells and shark teeth, and watch for the dolphins and seabirds that make Egmont Key their home. All snorkeling gear and instruction included.
Snorkel over the remains of Fort Dade's brick roads and building foundations — clear, shallow water that's fascinating for snorkelers of every level.
Egmont Key is a wildlife refuge: gopher tortoises on land, terns and pelicans overhead, and shells and shark teeth along the shore. The lighthouse has watched over the island since 1858.
The channel to Egmont Key is a dolphin superhighway. Most of our trips spot pods riding the wake or feeding along the way — have your camera ready.
Egmont Key trips depend on weather and tides — book early and we'll pick the perfect window.
