About
In 2012 the iconic boat the African Queen was restored for her 100 year centennial celebration. In May 2012 she once again began plying the waters of Key Largo and currently offers canal and dinner cruises. We go out daily at 10am, 12am, 2pm, 4pm and 6pm. On Fridays and Saturdays at 6pm we offer a dinner cruise to the Pilot House Marina where passengers disembark and enjoy dinner in the restaurant before boarding the vessel once again to return to the Marina Del Mar. Dinner and lunch cruises are also available on request for groups of at least 4 people.

Something neat to do
Jun. 2022 • Family
My spouse and I love old movies, antiques and unusual experiences. This is why we were so happy to be able to take a harbor cruise on the African Queen . Our granddaughter even got to drive the boat . What a great memory!

Something unique
Jun. 2022 • Family
This is going to sound weird but this was something that I always wanted to do. The boat trip did not disappoint us . It was so much better than a typical harbor cruise . We rode on a piece of history !

African Queen Historical Voyage
Jun. 2022
The African Queen boat was truly an amazing and informative cruise. We cruised in the original boat that was in the African Queen movie with Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and actually let me steer the boat for a time. I would highly recommend it.

Tourist trap
Jun. 2022
A complete tourist trap! So many other fun things to do in Key Largo for the $59. You book on line and it is non refundable. I understand why because when you get there you would ask for your money back. Nothing special about the cruise. Save your money!
