Papa Joe's Islamorada

Welcome to Florida Keys Life by Papa Joe's of Islamorada

Where island living meets stylish comfort. Our brand celebrates the vibrant lifestyle of the Florida Keys with a unique range of apparel inspired by the laid-back charm of this tropical paradise.

Our Story

Founded in 1969 by Joe Miller, Papa Joe's of Islamorada quickly became a beloved fixture in the Florida Keys. In 1982, the Gehrkens Family proudly took the helm, carrying on the tradition of serving award-winning Florida Keys cuisine to locals and visitors alike.

Over the years, Papa Joe's has become known not only for its exceptional seafood but also for bringing the island's spirit to life through our Florida Keys Life brand. Each piece of our apparel reflects the relaxed yet vibrant energy of Key West, Key Largo, Marathon, Big Pine Key, and Islamorada, crafted with care and quality.

A Note on Our Legacy and Affiliation

We are proud of our longstanding presence in the community, decades before the establishment of another business, "Papa Joe's Waterfront," which uses a similar name and is located at the former site of our family business in Islamorada. Please note that we have no affiliation with Papa Joe’s Waterfront. Our connection to the Florida Keys is deep and authentic, rooted in generations of tradition and commitment to quality.

Beyond Fashion

Papa Joe's of Islamorada goes beyond clothing. Known for our mobile seafood kitchen, we serve up Zagat award-winning Seafood Bisque, Key West island cuisine, and our famous Key lime pie at events and festivals throughout the region. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, Papa Joe's brings you a true taste of the Keys.
