Everglades National Park Pass

To our valued sailing guests: the U.S. National Park Service has introduced an entry fee for all mariners traveling through the waters of Everglades National Park. If you intend to sail into the park, you'll be required to pay this fee.

To comply with National Park Service regulations, all sailors must first take and pass a free online test before being allowed to enter the park. Passing this test is a prerequisite for obtaining a park pass.

After passing the test, you can purchase the park pass online. A seven-day pass costs $30, and you're required to carry the electronic or paper pass, plus a valid government-issued ID, at all times while in the park. Failure to comply may result in a fine.

We highly recommend getting a park pass — it opens up all the exciting float plans Everglades National Park has to offer, including the Nest Key mud bath, the Mangrove Jungle Tour, snorkeling around the sunken sailboat, sailing around Porjoe Key, and more.
