Enjoy a fantastic excursion from Key West, Florida, to the splendid Dry Tortugas National Park where you can enjoy a historical tour of Fort Jefferson, dine on a tasty picnic lunch, and explore the pristine environment by snorkeling or hiking. The Yankee Freedom II, your transportation to the Dry Tortugas, is not your typical ferry. The speed and comfort of this vessel is unmatched by any vessel that currently operates from Key West. There is no feeling quite like standing on the deck of the Yankee Freedom II as it zooms across the cerulean waters. The refreshing sea air, ample sunshine, and panoramic seascape will provide you with an idyllic setting on your trip out to the Tortugas.
The Yankee Freedom II offers the epitome of comfort, especially for families with younger children or elderly members; the roomy interior cabin is climate controlled with air conditioning, has plenty of comfortable seating, and was designed with three restrooms. The fresh-water shower is popular with snorkelers who would like to rinse off the sand and saltwater after some aquatic activity. You wont go hungry or thirsty on this tour either; the ship has a cantina that serves a selection of snacks, and beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. You can sip a cocktail on deck in the tropical sunshine.
Once you arrive at your destination of Dry Tortugas National Park, youll be able to enjoy a guided and narrated tour of Fort Jefferson at Garden Key. You will be given the option of joining a 40 minute tour of the fort with a friendly guide. After a scrumptious picnic lunch you can participate in some water-sports. We will supply you with the proper gear to go snorkeling above the teeming coral reefs of the area. Nature enthusiasts can also explore the isle, looking for sea birds and other interesting plant and animal life.

The Dry Tortugas day trip aboard the Yankee Freedom was one of the best parts of our family vacation. The trip starts with a ride on the spacious Yankee Freedom II boat where breakfast is served. Before you know it you are approaching the legendary islands of the Dry Tortugas. The 4.5 hours on the islands go by fast because there is so much to see! We will definitely take the Yankee Freedom trip again next time we visit Key West.
Amazing time had by all on the Yankee Freedom II boat! I had heard sooo much about these Dry Tortugas islands and i'm so glad i finally got to see them for myself! truly astonishing
the dry tortugas were unlike anything i could have ever dreamed of through pictures!To me paradise is being on such a quaint island in the middle of the ocean. Next time I am going to try to camp out there!
One of the best excursions i've experienced in any of the vacation destinations I've ever been to! Great job guys!
I'm heading back to Key West this christmas season and I'm taking the whole family on the Yankee Freedom excursion out to the dry tortugas and Fort Jefferson. When I went out in April I had the most amazing time. Tips I have for travelers: make sure to bring binoculars, a towel, sunscreen and a camera (if you can find an underwater camera, bring that); snorkeling gear is included
