About

If you want to spend some time on a beautiful pristine island paradise, our private charter to Egmont Key State Park is a great choice for you and your family! Get ready for a day of fun in the sun with Kraken Charters. The ferry ride to the island offers great chances to spot dolphins, sea turtles, and sometimes even manatees! We often spot sea birds on the ride to and from Egmont Key Island.

Once on the island, Egmont Key offers great shelling, swimming, and opportunities for adventures. There is even a large fort on the island named Fort Dade you can access and explore. This fort dates to the Spanish American war era and is spread out along the island’s interior. Egmont Key is also home to a large population of native gopher tortoises! These large, slow-moving tortoises are an endangered species, so you cannot touch them, but they make for great photos as you spot them throughout the island’s interior.

Egmont Key is also home to a large nature preserve – nearly half of the island is blocked to guests, allowing the native seabirds and sea turtles a section of undisturbed beach. This nature preserve area is home to tons of nesting birds and nesting turtles and we cruise around this area by boat.

If you would like to take a ferry ride to Egmont Key with us, pack like you are spending the day at the beach! Bring sunscreen, towels, bathing suits, sun protective hats, shirts, and other gear. Egmont Key is a pristine island, so there is not a bathroom or any type of shop on the island so make sure to come prepared with a cooler full of water, food, and drinks.
