Exclusive Private Boat to The Dry Tortugas Nagional Park!

Located about 70 miles west of Key West, Florida lies an archipelago known as the Dry Tortugas National Park. This remote and isolated park is only accessible by sea plane, ferry, or private boat. While all three options will get you to the park, having a private boat allows for a more personalized and immersive experience.

While sea planes and ferries offer convenient transportation to the Dry Tortugas, they can be limiting in terms of time and exploration. With a private boat, you have the freedom to venture out and explore all the islands within the park at your own pace. This allows for a more authentic experience where you can truly appreciate the beauty and diversity of the area.

Now, the public can catch their lobsters before the commercial season starts. Consequently, lobsters are usually plentiful during this short window.

Unique Explorations In The Florida Keys

South Florida is a paradise for wildlife lovers. Exotic marine life like bottlenose dolphins and black tip sharks are common sightings. Snorkelers can see parrot fish, tangs, spiny lobster, hogfish, barracuda, stingray, angelfish, and many other colorful fish underwater. Sea turtle sightings are common during nesting season.

Sand bar hopping is a popular activity, appreciated by locals and visitors alike. When the tides change, islands like Boca Grande Key, Snipes Point, Marvin Key, Marquesas Key, and Woman Key are uncovered long enough to entertain explorers. Take a guided tour with a knowledgeable local guide and hop between sandbars for maximum fun. Be sure to take a cooler full of drinks and a picnic lunch to enjoy.
