First, I must say We had an awesome day. We did take Dramamine an hour before the trip based on reviews here. On the tables in the cabin were some leaflets and phamplets describing some history of the Island. A crew member also gives some details about island history as well during the first hour. When we started hitting some... more

just got home from 3 weeks of vacation in the sunshine state Florida, and visited the Keys as well. And of course I wanted to go see Fort Jefferson. But i really regret that i went. Because it was windy weather and EVERYBODY puked. Cant believe that a company goes out on seas, when they know the weather is that... more

Wow. Not sure I'm believing the last few negative reviews. We went on the Yankee Freedom in July and had a great time! Last time I was in the Dry Tortugas was 20 years ago, when the only way you could get there was by sea plane @ $400 per person! Our Captain was very nice. He invited people into... more

We booked 2 etickets online for Yankee Freedom II for Oct. 23rd. The weather was terrible so on the day before we went to the booth and asked to change the day to the 24th. The lady agent said that was no problem, just come and 7:15 that morning (24th) and if weather was poor (8 ft. seas) we could... more

The day we took the Yankee Freedom II to Dry Tortugas was a bit rainy and windy. We were warned that it would be choppy, and they weren't kidding. I have never been seasick in my life, and I was desperately sick and miserable on the return trip, as were a number of others. The crew could not have been... more

where to begin.........how about everyone on the boat puked all the way there and all the way back. the crew was terrified!!!!! this trip is still talked about by the locals today! Back in December of 2006 a group of us decided to go to the Tortugas. The weather had been gusty and none of the tours to the Tirtugas... more

First off, let me start by saying Fort Jefferson and the Dry tortugas are wonderful and everyone should go experience this majestic place. With that being said, dont use the yankee freedom two to get there. This boat is ok, it has an air conditioned cabin and an outside lower and upper deck. The problem is the crew and the... more

On a recent trip to Key West, my boyfriend & I took the Yankee Freedom to the Dry Tortugas National Park. We arrived at the marina around 7:30am and took the 2 1/2 hour ferry ride to the island. We were served breakfast and given the chance to hang out with the captain & his dog (Salty) in the bridge.... more

Everything was great! Our guide, Rick was excellent and gave us a great tour of the fort. We had a great time snorkeling. Make sure to go around the fort and stick to the wall. It was the best coral we have seen out here. The boat was not overcrowded and the crew was excellent. There was plenty of food... more

The day spent at the Dry Tortugas was one of my favorite adventures. It is beautiful out there. The trip out and back on the Yankee Freedom II was nice also. Some reviews I read commented on the on-board toilets overflowing. What everyone needs to remember is that these are marine toilets and are not built like the ones at... more
