Key West Express - Big Cat Shuttle - Key West Shuttle - Sea Key West Express ripoff NOT a boat for Key West Party Trip! Fort Myers Beach Florida

Sorry to chime in years later but Wow I can't believe these "ladies" thought they got ripped off. You were delivered safely to and from Key West. Since finding this company my friends and I wouldn't dream of ever making that long slow drive down to Key West again. Save your partying for your destination. Have fun girls.

I agree with the post stating that key west express is a ferry service, bot a booze cruise. I live in key west and actually used this service to visit my relatives in west southern Florida since it is cheaper in gas and renting a car!!!! Also family visiting me in key west used this service and every time there has been no complaints. I feel that it is a affordable travel option to get off the island and have visiters on the inland. I never got upset with the people who drank a lot on it because going to key west and booze go hand and hand, but to write a complaint about how you smuggled booze on a ferry and seemed loud and obnoxious and complained that the crew interveined.???? You even wrote yourself that your large party of woman drank all weekend, sang on the ferry( and with a group that large it had to be heard older then you thought and if the party next to you said it wasn't im sure they were more intoxicated then you,and you stated playing with a "adult squirt gun" . Are you sure you wernt just imbarrassed that a ferry crew scolded a grown group of woman for being overly obnoxious. If so I hope that wasn't, the reason that compelled you to write ripoff report a complaint about key west express. Just saying..

The boat is a ferry, not a party cruise. People use this boat for pleasure. business, etc for transportation to Key West. The fact this complaint was filed on the premise they don't allow loud, drunken parties seems to be counter productive. I'm not aware of too many transportation companies that allow you bring alcohol on board and party like rock stars.

Having read this complaint, I have to defend this company. I have taken the ferry from Ft. Myers to Key West around a dozen round-trips over the years (my husband took it this weekend for fishing) and I have NEVER had one complaint with the boat or the staff. It is the fastest way to the Keys except for a plane, and the boat is a smooth ride except in the most extreme weather. The staff are all long-timers and very professional, and the boat is always very, very clean.

The ONLY complaint I have ever had with the ferry throughout the years, is the passengers like the one that posted this complaint. She says that her group was drinking, got loud, got raunchy, was singing, and was using squirt guns. She thinks that is okay on a boat full of people? Would her and her friends act like that in a restaurant or on a airplane and expect no complaints? What, just because you're going to Key West you're allowed to act like a jerk???

If you have never been on the boat, it is spacious but when it's full and you're tired, a gang of drunk revelers can really be irritating especially if you're trapped inside with them due to rain. This woman and her friends demonstrated the exact behavior that makes the trip unbearable sometimes; they're partying so they think everyone else should put up with their bad manners.

I've used the ferry to go to the Keys for diving, fishing, and site seeing and HIGHLY recommend it to all. This boat is intended as a fast way to get to the Keys (driving takes 5+ hours) and has NEVER advertised itself as a "party" boat or "booze cruise" so I think it very unfair of this poster to slam the company because her friends were not being considerate to the sober people. In closing I highly recommend to the ferry that they continue to key the drunk people in line!

I was on that trip aslo. January 24th on the Whale Watcher. I was not drinking at all as I am not a drinker and I can say the group was just trying to have fun. They were treated badly and I felt like it ruined my first trip to Key West.

I had a great time while at Key West but next time I want to visit, I will use another company or spend the extra hours driving. Why? Because it seems as if they do not want you to have a fun time. You have to keep quiet or someone might complain. "Old" is a state of mind and it seems as if this company prefers to cater to the type of person who wants to be "old". I prefer to stay young at heart, thank you very much! We were a group of women trying to have a day away from kids, grandkids, work and the daily grind and enjoy ourselves.

They offer no TV and they keep the music so low that you cannot hear it over the boat and unless you want to sit and play cards quietly you have nothing to do. If I wanted to act like a little old lady I could have stayed away from the boat and gone to play bingo instead! I will be telling the women of the Helena Club to stay away from this company.
