Set sail for the Dry Tortugas archipelago in the stunning Florida Keys

****Warning – this is an exploratory trip! Before we open it up to the general public, we’d like to get out there and test the waters, so to speak. So we're inviting you along. We've wanted to run it for a while, and we've done a lot of research for it. We’ll also have our most experienced skipper, with more than 25 years experience, at the helm. That said, we’re pretty sure there will be some surprises along the way. If you’d rather wait until next year, when things will be running like a Swiss watch, that’s OK. But if you’re the pioneering type with an adventurous spirit, and are up for a challenge, this trip is for you!****

It might surprise you, but the most isolated and least visited national park in the US of A doesn’t involve mountains, pine forests or lakes. The trees aren’t very tall there and there’s not a grizzly bear in sight, but you will find sea turtles, frigates and schools of colourful fish. Yep, we’re talking about the Dry Tortugas Islands, located in the stunning Florida Keys off America’s south-eastern tip. Join us on this special sailing expedition as we chart a course through tropical archipelagos – snorkelling and beach-bumming in the uninhabited Marquesas Islands, visiting historical Fort Jefferson and letting our hair down for a night of fun in Key West.

    Welcome
    southernmost
    continental

    Welcome to Key West, the southernmost city in continental USA. Located in the Florida Keys – a coral cay archipelago extending southwest from Florida’s south-eastern tip – Key West attracts an eclectic mix of residents and visitors: artists, writers, yatchies, retirees, holidaying families and partying students. More than 1700 islands make up the archipelago, the majority of which are part of National, State or Marine parks. Key West is in fact closer to Cuba than it is Miami!

    setting
    Tortugas

    This morning we'll be setting sail for the Dry Tortugas well before dawn, mostly likely leaving around 4am to make the most of your time (approximately 70 nautical miles). The coral cays were once underwater reefs that, over time, emerged as low-lying islands when water levels started dropping some 25,000 years ago. The Dry Tortugas, located at the southernmost point of the keys, are the most remote of America's National Parks. Both the Dry Tortugas and Marquesas are a haven for marine and bird life, with green sea turtles and manatees nesting in the area. The plan is to spend two nights in the Dry Tortugas, though this is flexible (If the weather deteriorates, the boat may return to Key West early). As the most isolated and least visited national park in the United States, Dry Tortugas has very few services on it and your gr...

    morning
    Marquesas

    Depart the Dry Tortugas early in the morning and make sail to the Marquesas (approx. 44 nm). As you'll be arriving before dark, you’ll be able to take in the beauty of these uninhabited islands and turquoise lagoons as you approach. The swimming here is excellent, and the 300-foot no-motor zone established by local authorities has helped protect such creatures as nesting turtles and birds. Keep your eyes peeled (and your camera ready) for red, blue and masked boobies.

    stopping
    fantastic
    snorkelling

    Sail to Key West, stopping off en route for some fantastic snorkelling at dive buoys moored along the reef (approx. 26 nm). Tonight we spend either harboured in Key West Bight Marina or anchored out in Man of War Harbor. Perhaps check out some of the bars, restaurants and cafes this ‘end of the road’ destination has to offer, calling in at La Te Da for cabaret or heading to Porch or Virgilio’s for a drink.
