Anyone stay on Sunset Key (aka Tank Island) in Key West? I know there are no cars on the island, just golf carts but was wondering if you can take scooter (mopeds like 50cc) on the ferry over to the island?

Just thought I'd chime in here. The largest ferry that travels between Key West (specifically Mallory Pier) and Sunset Key is a small boat by the name of "Lil' Princess". Just a small water taxi really, and I've never seen it carry any such cargo as a moped. Sunset Key is very small, bicycles would be the way to go anyway.

thank you.....I saw the pics online of the shuttle boat just wasn't sure if there was another more commercial one they didn't use for photos. I have an opportunity to stay there for New Years week and have access to some scooters but wasn't sure of the logisitcs of having one on the island. I wouldn't want to leave them in Key West overnight since they aren't mine but I would feel obligated to replace them if they got stolen in Key West.

You shouldn't worry about your scooters being stolen in Key West, the island is full of them - both rental and privately owned. Bikes get stolen here, but not scooters, and certainly not cars. It's just too small of a place for that kind of racket.

But for security, the Westin Resort at 245 Front St. - which is just a skip away from the Sunset Key ferry, operates a parking garage next door. If you were to keep your scooters here, not only would they be very close by in a safe area, but your chances of having the scooters messed with would be basically zero. Here is their number if you'd like to inquire - (305) 809-1234.

If you come to Key West for New Years, it sounds as though you'll be staying in a very nice place. It's a pretty safe town overall. I hope you enjoy your stay!
