I had no idea there was a Miami to Key West Ferry! Ya live & learn.

Oh--I just clicked on the link and find that it is a seasonal service that does not operate during the hurricane season. It will be available again in the fall.

Our Seasonal Service from Miami to Key West has ended for the 2007-2008 season. Thank you for a great inaugural year. See you aboard next fall!!

They don't give any actual dates of the Miami service starting up again - just see you in the fall.

Yep. I guess it would depend on the weather! Do you know when it started last year?

Like Sgt Schultz on the old Hogans Heroes TV show, "I know nothing."
