Welcome to Boot Key

Boot Key, located in the Florida Keys, is a largely undeveloped island with a unique landscape.
 
It is known for its deep waters, making it a desirable location for those who enjoy boating and water activities. Boot Key’s real estate market includes rare opportunities for vacant lots where you can build your secluded retreat for a truly off-grid experience. There are also condos and single-family homes within a 5-mile radius, providing a more traditional housing option offering a comfortable and convenient lifestyle. While it is within the city limits of Marathon, it is only accessible via boat. The former bridge is now closed to pedestrians and vehicular traffic, adding to the island’s private appeal. However, it is just a few minutes away from the mainland, so you still get essential services and amenities hassle-free.
 

Land & Water Recreation

Living in the area offers plenty of land and water recreational opportunities. Just off the shores of Boot Key lies Sombrero Reef, a renowned marine sanctuary. This coral reef system is a paradise for divers and snorkelers, showcasing a vibrant underwater world filled with colorful corals, tropical fish, and other fascinating marine creatures. The nearby Florida Keys Country Club provides a beautiful course for golfers, history buffs can visit the Marathon Air Museum, and skateboarders can hone their skills at Marathon Skatepark. With such variety, homeowners can enjoy an active and fulfilling lifestyle.
 

City Marina

The Boot Key Harbor City Marina administers a 226-ball mooring field. It gives convenient access to some of the best fishing spots where anglers can try to catch tarpon, snapper, grouper, and other prized species. It is next to a beautiful park and sports complex with well-maintained facilities providing a serene environment for picnics, walks, and recreational games. With easy access to the marina, residents can embark on adventures and explore the picturesque waters surrounding the island.
 

Minutes to the Mainland

Experience a tranquil retreat with easy access to essential amenities on the mainland. Publix Supermarket, Walgreens, and Home Depot are all within minutes for household needs. Marine supply shops and fishing stores are also abundant. If you want to savor local flavors, head to the waterfront seafood restaurants offering delectable fresh catches, cozy cafes for a leisurely cup of coffee, or fast food options for quick bites. This convenience adds to the quality of life on Boot Key, providing residents with everything they need just a stone’s throw away.
