Fantasy Fest bus and Key West day charters

A group coach to Key West for festival week

Ace handles the ride; the organizer sets the rest.

Fantasy Fest is held in Key West every October, according to the festival's official website. Old Town has narrow streets and little room to park, and the Overseas Highway is the only road onto the island. A group coach takes the driving and the parking off the list: everyone boards at one place in Miami, Fort Lauderdale or the Keys and steps off together in Key West.

Ace's part is the ride. The festival's dates, events and rules come from the organizer, so check the organizer's current dates and rules before you plan the trip.

Same day, one way, or two separate rides

Staying a few nights? Book down and back apart.

A same day round trip goes down and back on one coach. It is a long day, since Key West sits at the far end of the island chain. Ace runs late returns, drivers' hours rules apply, and the day is planned with the quote. Every Ace vehicle has Wi-Fi, GPS tracking and onboard cameras, so the group can stay connected all the way down the Keys.

Groups staying in Key West for a few nights usually book two one way trips: one down on the day they arrive, and one back to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, MIA, FLL or a cruise port on the day they leave. Each leg is its own booking, and the ride back can start at a Key West hotel or guesthouse.

Key West day charters, any month

Festival or not, the coach runs all year.

The festival comes once a year, and Key West day charters run in every other month too. A group from Miami or Fort Lauderdale can spend the day in Old Town and ride home that night. A wedding party, a company meeting or a family reunion already staying in Key West can book a coach for a day on the island, or for a run up the Keys to Marathon, Islamorada or Key Largo and back.

A day charter can also take in more than one island. The coach can stop at a beach in the Lower Keys or a lunch spot in the Middle Keys, as long as the stops are in the plan you send.

Drop-off and pickup in Old Town

Fix both meeting points before the day.

A full size motorcoach may stop on a wider street at the edge of the historic district, and the group walks the last few blocks. A minibus for 15 to 20 or a Sprinter van with a driver can reach more hotel and guesthouse curbs. Street closures for festival events are set by the city and the organizer, so check them before the day.

Agree the drop-off point and the pickup point with dispatch in advance, and send both to everyone in the group. On the ride back, the group leader counts heads at the coach door before it moves, and anyone staying behind tells the leader first.

What a Key West coach quote depends on

Long run, so give dispatch every detail.

Every trip is quoted. A run to the end of the Keys is long, so the details matter:

Send the group leader's name and phone with the request, plus the flight or sailing details if a leg meets one.
