    Overview

    The Port of Key West is the southernmost port in the continental United States and serves as a vibrant gateway for cruise and ferry passengers. Located in historic Key West, Florida, this port is renowned for its unique island charm and is among the most popular cruise ports of call in the Caribbean. Key West's strategic location allows it to host vessels traveling between major Florida ports such as Miami, Port Everglades, Tampa, and Canaveral, as well as ferries from Fort Myers and Marco Island. The port consists of three principal piers—Mallory Square, Pier B, and the Outer Mole Pier—each offering modern amenities and direct access to the attractions of Old Town Key West. Annually, the port welcomes hundreds of cruise ships and thousands of passengers, contributing an estimated $85 million to the local economy and supporting over 1,200 jobs.
