FORT ZACHARY TAYLOR
One park. Two good reasons to go.
Cannon and coastal history, or a shoreline and picnic break. Give one of them your time instead of trying to squeeze in both.
KEY WEST, FLORIDA · FOR CRUISE VISITORS

01 / LET’S FIND YOUR SHORE DAY
How much time have you got?
How would you like to explore?
Use the ship’s clock. Keep any earlier crew instructions.
A preference changes the recommended plan only when a matching timed itinerary exists. Scooter information does not create a timed route.
Return time is already part of the plan.
Start the clock when you can leave your assigned passenger exit, not when the ship docks. Each existing plan includes its own return allowance and additional ship buffer. Your cruise line’s instructions and any earlier rental deadline always take priority. Selecting a transport preference does not invent a timed itinerary.
A LITTLE FARTHER, WITHOUT THE LONG WALK
Fort time. Shore time.
Your kind of island time.
Collect your cart, choose the fort or the shoreline, then enjoy a northern-waterfront lunch before returning your rental.
THE GOOD PARTS, AT A GLANCE

Return the cart. Then return to the ship.
Rental handover and ship boarding are separate steps. Keep both in your plan.
Your day, on the island.
Use the numbered stop buttons to explore details.
Orientation only—not turn-by-turn or legal vehicle directions. The rental-return location and connecting leg are not mapped.
Editorial planning allocations—not measured journey or queue times. Follow your ship’s earlier instructions.
02 / FIND YOUR WAY AROUND
A little island.
Your kind of wheels.
Keep the group together in a cart, pedal at your own pace, or explore by scooter if you’re an experienced rider. Build collection and return into the day.
424 Greene Street. Start here.
Bone Island customer check-in comes first. Golf-cart collection is staff-guided afterward.

One good stop at a time.
Landmarks, local eats and shops worth your shore time—on one map, with the cruise-ship deadline never forgotten.

RENT WHEN IT HELPS YOUR PLAN
Choose wheels for a reason.
A cart can make a wider group day easier; a bicycle suits a confident active rider; a scooter is for an experienced rider. Walking can still be the simplest choice close to the pier. Bone Island Rentals is closest for carts and scooters. Check in first at 424 Greene Street, Key West. For golf carts, staff guide you after check-in across the street to pickup at 112 Fitzpatrick Street. Confirm scooter or bicycle collection instructions with the operator. Check-in is about a 4-minute walk from Pier B.
