Historic Old Seaport at Key West - 3Pilot boat ready for action at dock in the historic old seaport at Key West Bight Marina
This pilot boat is used to transport BAR PILOTS to and from the large cruise ships that visit Key West on a daily basis. All large ships entering and leaving the harbor have local BAR PILOTS on them. When the cruise ships are arriving in Key West this pilot boat will transport the bar pilot out to the cruise ship before the ship reaches the Key West ship channel. The pilot will disembark the ship at the port and take a taxi home. When the cruise ship leaves port the bar pilot will board the ship at the dock then climb down to this pilot boat when the cruise ship is safely in the Atlantic Ocean. Large tarpon and jack cruising the old historic seaport at Key West Bight Marina
The smaller fish in this picture is a jack, possibly a jack cravelle and weighs around 18-pounds. The tarpon is much larger and I would guess weighs in excess of 80-pounds. We see large tarpon almost every time we stroll along Harbor Walk at Key West Bight Marina and the historic old seaport.
