Book early though to make sure they have room for you on board!Īnyone else have that song “Key Largo” swimming around in your head right now? “Here’s looking at you kid…” If you didn’t, you do now!

The African Queen, built in 1912 and made famous in 1951 by the Katherine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart movie of the same name, is once again offering tours after some years of sad and surprising neglect (in 1982 the boat was found in a cow pasture in Ocala!?!) and an engine failure in 2001 after which she remained on display but wasn’t operated.
