My brother and I can provide a 26.5 foot COBIA to shuttle back and forth from Egmont to Ft. Desoto. SWEET BOAT!!! Let me know dates and I will give him a heads up! We usually bring a big float, a 3 man tube, a cooler full of beer and water, a portable grill, and hamburgers.

Just let me know... and we will show!

After you've actually stepped foot on the island come on back here and tell us if it is even possible there.

I already know the answer

Smile Egmont Key

Well, I have been to Egmont key twice. There is a bird sanctuary on the south side of the island, we are not allowed there, not even as non-kiteboarders. Its really nasty and smells like bird shit anyway. However, if you go around the back side or front side of the island( east beach or west beach), there are plenty of small patches of open beach to launch your kite from. The currents are incredibly strong around the entire island though... anchoring the boat was a touch challenge.

Plan something, and just let me know. At some point, we plan on taking the boat from Miami to Bahamas as well... kitesurfing along the way.
