Can’t say enough good things about our private charter to the Dry Tortugas. Captain Mason was so knowledgable about the area and the history, and he was very accommodating throughout the day. We got there quickly considering the distance we had to travel. Once we arrived, we were able to explore the fort and walk around a little bit. There were so many sand crabs! We didn’t expect that, but it was very cool to see. Then we decided to do a little bit of snorkelling around the fort. After this, we ended up fishing for the rest of the day and headed home shortly after. The one thing we really appreciated about this excursion was that it wasn’t overly touristy. Because it’s so remote there are limited options to get to the island which allowed for a really unique and private experience. Thank you so much for a great day that will always be remembered!

My friends and I had been looking forward to this trip for months. It is expensive, but it is worth it. The ride over was a little bit rough (due to wind), but we were comfortable nonetheless. By early afternoon, the conditions were perfect and we were able to fish, snorkel, and tour the island. It was everything we hoped for! We were out on the water for almost 10 hours so make sure you are comfortable being outside for this long if you book! 10/10!

The captain was fantastic and put us on the fish all day. We caught my biggest black grouper to dates as well as a bunch of red grouper and snapper. This charter was probably the best fishing trip I ever had. Which is no surprise given how far away it is from land. If you’re looking for great customer service and a private excursion to the Tortugas I wouldn’t recommend looking anywhere else.

This charter was everything we were hoping for! Crew was amazing, fishing was epic, and weather was perfect. It was a long day for our kids, but they enjoyed every minute of it. The captain was so easy going and allowed us to get out and explore Fort Jefferson and walk around. I am so glad we booked this trip when we visited the Keys!

This trip really was a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation - which is what we were looking for. My partner wanted to fish and I have wanted to visit the Dry Tortugas now for a very long time. Best of both worlds. We caught several Grouper (one of them was well over 40 lbs). We also were also able to do some exploring at the Fort - which was the highlight of my trip. The ride over was a little bumpy, but the boat was comfortable and the crew was helpful and professional.

An amazing experience from start to finish. The ride there was approximately an hour and a half which is what we expected. We started with some fishing, then did some snorkeling by the Fort. Fort Jefferson was a fascinating stop (especially for me and my husband being history nerds). We walked around here for an hour or two and had lunch on the beach. The crew was fantastic. Couldn't have asked for better. Long day, so come prepared!
