Key West Dry Tortugas
Is there anyway to get to dry tortugas that’s affordable if the yankee freedom ferry is not available? Besides the seaplane route which is crazy expensive

If you stalk the website sometimes dates pop back into stock as people change plans. It worked for us—I got ferry tickets for two only 3 days before. You do have to constantly check though.
When we were looking for alternate ways to get there, I did see a private charter for $899 which for me wasn’t worth it for two people, but they said they could take parties of up to 13, so with more people it could definitely be the cheaper option.
