    FAQs

    Yes. Purchase your Dry Tortugas National Park pass before the boat charter.

    The shared Dry Tortugas tour departs when 5–6 passengers are booked. If the minimum isn’t reached, you can reschedule or receive a full refund.

    If conditions don’t allow a safe run to Dry Tortugas, the trip converts to a local Key West charter lasting 4–8 hours (based on conditions and guest preference). You receive a refund for the difference between the Dry Tortugas charter price and the applicable local charter rate.

    Carlos, TJ, Captain Mike, and the rest of the crew here have built a genuinely impressive reputation across a wide range of trips, from sandbar floats and snorkeling days to longer Dry Tortugas and offshore lighthouse excursions. Reviewers consistently highlight how personable and professional each captain is, with many noting that the trips feel tailored to the group rather than cookie-cutter. The boats are described as clean, spacious, and well-maintained, and the overall vibe is relaxed without sacrificing quality or safety. What stands out beyond the on-water experience is how smooth the whole process feels. Carlos gets frequent praise specifically for the booking side, making communication easy and accommodating even for larger or more complex group logistics. One family was so impressed they booked three separate trips in a single week. With a perfect rating across a solid number of reviews and zero recurring complaints, this crew is clearly doing something right for travelers looking for a stress-free day out of Key West.

    I wanted to take my family to catch lobster in the Keys but had no experience. Carlos set us up with Captain TJ who has loads of experience. He kept us safe in stormy weather while still showing my kids a good time. When the conditions were right he taught us how to catch the lobster and we had a great time snorkeling. I hope my kids will remember this forever. We had a great time and would charter them again 100%! Their goal was to make us a memory and they delivered!
