The crew on this boat were incredible. We had some rough seas and they helped every passenger with grace. They were kind, fun, and helpful to everyone! Views of the water and education of islands etc… Full review by Carey G

Dry Tortugas was amazing. The crew did a great job managing everyone’s motion sickness. But prepared for a bumpy way - even on a calm day. Full review by Sara S

Hello, I would very much love to know how to find a pilot to Dry Tortugas? I'm thinking of taking my 80 year old Dad and maybe do some snorkeling. Know the boat ride there would be too long. Wondering if there is better snorkeling in the Keys as some folks gave bad reviews for snorkeling at Dry Tortugas. Linda

Q:
I plan to take the ferry day tour to Dry Tortugas. For someone who can't swim, how much fun will I miss out? Anyone know if the tour provide life vest along with snorkeling gears? Maybe I can try snorkel in shallow waters.

Q:
Two questions: On a rough day, would you recommend the seasick prescription patches for those prone to motion sickness? And, if you went during Covid, are masks worn indoors on the boat?
A:
I do recommend sea sickness prevention. They sell pills at the harbor for $1. When we were there in November, masks were worn on the ferry.

Q:
We will be camping in April 2022 for 3 nights. We were there back in the 90’s and remembered seeing fishermen coming to camp to trade there fish for liquor. Has anyone who has camped there recently know if this is still happening?! Also how are campers boiling water, since we are limited to self lite charcoal or sterno? Does the ferry provide tubs to store food and gear in?! Thank you Tonya
A:
We came on the ferry in July, and I don't think they provided storage. We didn't see any fishermen or trading of supplies on the beach.
