The Port of Key West, Florida’s most southern port, consists of three docking facilities: Mallory Square, the Navy’s Outer Mole Pier (currently closed), and the privately owned Pier B.
These facilities constitute one of the most popular cruise ports of call in the nation and one of the state’s strongest and most robust ferry-port operations.
The port hosts cruise ships from Miami, Port Everglades, Canaveral, Tampa, Jacksonville, and the Caribbean, as well as ferries from Fort Myers and Marco Island. Key West is one of the most popular ports in the Caribbean and passengers are introduced to the unique charm of Key West without contributing vehicular traffic to the overburdened US-1 corridor or the ever-busier Key West International Airport.
