In my salty traveler's opinion, the Key West Express is the best way to get to Key West. It's better than being cramped on an airplane and dealing with airports. It's better than driving for 6+ hours and dealing with slow traffic down US 1.
Why not get to Fort Myers, jump aboard the Key West express, order a nice rum drink and watch the Gulf of Mexico go by. In 3.5 hours, you'll be in Key West and ready to explore the island's treasures.
If you have any questions about the Key West Express, let me know. I travel on it a few times a year and know both Ft. Myers beach and Key West well.
Have fun!
Cheers,
Ryan

A Salty Passion: Hi! We are Ryan (RumShopRyan) and Crystal (Castaway Crystal), we document, photograph, and film the best the Caribbean has to offer. Whether it’s stunning beaches, relaxing hotels, friendly restaurants, or soggy beach bars…we want to share it and inspire others to explore the islands.
MEET US!
Who Is RumShopRyan:
Howdy! I’m Ryan and I hail from the land-locked, can’t get any further from the ocean, state of Kansas. I moved to laid back southwest Florida in 2001. I didn’t know a single person and didn’t have a job. Risky I know, but the ocean was calling and I had to answer.
I’m a huge fan of Kansas City sports, so you’ll probably see a lot of Jayhawks, Chiefs and Royals attire in my photos. Kansas City is a great town and I’m glad I’m from there, but the coastal life was calling. It’s kind of like Kenny Chesney’s “island boy” song. Check out the lyrics and you’ll see what I mean.
I write because I’m passionate about the Caribbean and the island lifestyle, and it’s my way to share it with you. If it has anything to do with the Caribbean, rum drinks, beach style music, or Caribbean culture, you’ll be able to find it on this site.
When in the Caribbean you’ll find a camera around my neck and note pad in my pocket. This is how I document the experiences in unique and interesting ways and bring it back to you, the Castaways.
Who is Castaway Crystal:
I was raised in Southwest Florida so it’s no surprise that I have a love for beaches, water and nature. As a child, most weekends were spent fishing in the warm gulf waters on the family boat. As an adult, most weekends are spent soaking up the sun on Ft. Myers Beach. Even though I have always loved the coastal life, I don’t think I fully appreciated it until I moved to Nashville, TN. I’m all about experiencing new things, and as a Licensed Massage Therapist I thought it would be amazing to massage some of Nashville’s biggest stars (a girl can dream right?). But I missed the sun and sand too much—and let’s not forget the rum runners! After a year I couldn’t take it anymore, this sun bunny moved back to her coast of somewhere beautiful.
I’ve always been passionate about photography and writing, but my passions never really had a purpose until I met Ryan. I couldn’t be happier being Ryan’s first mate and sharing my photos and stories with you. May they inspire you to go after your tropical dreams and wishes. Make a plan…Set a date…Just go!

The Key West Express is the best way to travel to Key West. You could drive. You could fly. You could take a boat. But... unless you live in South Florida, the drive can be long and tiresome. Flying can be quick, but Key West isn't exactly a top aviation hub. Getting flights to and from Key West can be expensive and there's always a layover some place. Boating to Key West sounds nice but you don't know anyone with a boat and wouldn't it take a long time? Prepare to raise anchor, because I'm about to tell you the best way to get to Key West...and it's by boat.
If you've been reading this blog for any amount of time you know I'm a big fan of the Key West Express. The Key West Express is the high speed ferry boat that travels between Fort Myers and Key West Florida. They also leave out of Marco Island Florida. The boat pulls out of port around 8:30am and ties up in Key West around 11am. A fun 3 1/2 hours later and you're walking down Duval looking for a cold rum drink.
