Walk to Jolly Pirates?

Would it be a long walk from the Occidental to the Jolly Pirates boat slip?

From looking at the map they are between the Holiday Inn and the Marriott Resorts which are about three hotel norths of the Occidental. We are doing the early (9am) snorkle tour.

If it's under a halfmile that would be ok to walk. I think any more may be to far.

it should take you no longer than 10-15 minutes - max. and that's being conservative. you'll be fine walking there in the morning.

It is faster to walk on the boardwalk on the beach than on the street. The Jolly Pirates office is behind Moomba's Beach Bar.

We just got home yesterday, while there, we walked from the Marriott on one end of
Palm Beach down to the Westin at the other end, and maybe it took us 30 minutes total!
It's not a long walk. The hotels are very close to each other, so it will be a very short walk
for you. Jolly Pirates was one of the highlights for us! So much fun!
