Dry Tortugas Adventure 2021 by Private Boat
มุมมอง 7K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Our visit by private boat to Dry Tortugas/Fort Jefferson and Loggerhead Key in August 2021. An AMAZING experience! #cashcrewadventures
Would you be willing to take a family of 7 to the island to camp later this month for a cost? -don from Lorain Ohio USA 🇺🇸
Awesome!!
Nice trip captain with the family roughing it. 2 things you need a dive flag and what kinda boat is this
Sea fox 248 commander. We were using a Brownies third lung which has a dive flag on it that stayed within 30’ of us.
Nice they let you tie to to their boat. Any fish away from islands
Awesome!
Awesome!
Congrats on doing this with a single motor! My wife and I leave next week from Cape Coral, Key West, to DT.
What's your wind/wave threshold for making the crossing? Looks like about 1.5 hours from the Quicksands to the fort... how is that stretch? Probably going in a week or two. Thanks!
It’s hard to say. Our first trip we skirted around a storm on our way back & fought some 2-3’ seas…long ride back! This trip the wind was max at 10-12mph 1-2’ seas, easy ride. I was only worried from the quicksands to the fort but it’s really not bad. Just make sure to have the proper safety gear & setup. We’ve made the trip twice & can’t wait to go again!! We generally run around 35mph burning about 2.7-3 mpg & make the run in a little over 2 hours. The last trip I was a little more relaxed so we stopped & fished awhile along the way.
Feel free with anymore questions you have. Before our first trip I did a lot of research & was very disappointed with the lack of info for this run but we’ve learned a lot from our 2 trips out, both camping for 2 nights & 3 days.
@@ryancash22 yelp good fishing but ya gotta be out of the park. Also need eprib and inflatable for all on board just to be safe skipper
What size boat, and how many gallons is your fuel tank?
24’ with 115 gallon tank.
@@ryancash22 Thank you for the information.
Great video! A few quick questions....where did you guys put your boat in? I know it was a back up plan so where did you originally plan to put in. What about parking truck and trailer. We are planning this trip in a similar size boat this summer trailering down from GA.
So cool! We are originally from Georgia!! Recommend parking car and trailer at Garrison Bight marina in Key West and you leave out right from there. Need to get there early to secure a spot because there aren’t reservations. We just got back from our second trip and felt very comfortable leaving our Tahoe and trailer there. I think it was only $15 per day for us, goes by axles of trailer.
Also recommend coming back up through the Everglades. Neat scenic route!
How far did u guys actually have to anchor your boat off the beach? I’ve been planning a trip and keep hearing different things about this.
We backed up right to the beach but if you have a larger vessel you would need to anchor out.
You can tie up to the dock for 2 hours to load/unload and then move your boat to anchor off the beach. We tied off within 10 feet of the beach. Depends on how crowded it is.
How many miles was it from key west? How fast did you travel on average? How was fuel consumption? Appreciate any help.
70 miles each way, we traveled at about 28-30 mph. Averaged 2.7-2.9mpg. We burned about 65 gallons with some additional running around for fishing, snorkeling, and checking out some of the other keys on the way out. The way back was a little more rough, we had to slow down to about 23-24mph.
@Justin Rohrer 2 hrs there & 3hrs back due to head wind & a storm we skirted around.
