An easy, fun way to get out on the water and experience Keewaydin Island. We do all the driving, all you have to do is show up and enjoy the day!
Spend the day at one of Travel Channel's "Top Ten" Beaches in Marco Island, FL. The island is known for its world class shelling, pristine beaches, and wildlife watching. With its great scenery and soft sandy beach, enjoy the day swimming, shelling, fishing, or just relaxing.
On the way out to the island see dolphins and other marine life. Hemingway Water Shuttle will pull up on shore and drop you off in the middle of the action. The adventure awaits!


Daily routes from Rose Marina out to the island and back. Pack your own cooler and spend the day on the beach. For the current schedule, view "Book a Ride" or give us a call.
