Yankee Freedom

One of the most unforgettable day trips on the water you’ll ever take in Florida is a visit to Dry Tortugas National Park and historic Fort Jefferson aboard the Yankee Freedom. The Dry Tortugas sit just 70 miles west of Key West in the midst of the azure Gulf of Mexico waters. A secluded cluster of tiny islands with a Civil War fortress onsite, this magnificent natural attraction is one of the most unique places on earth—and the best way to visit is aboard the Yankee Freedom, the park’s official ferry. A boat tour unlike anything you’ve ever experienced, the Yankee Freedom’s high-speed, state-of-the-art catamaran, complete with expansive sundeck and spacious air-conditioned cabin, fresh water showers and restrooms, will transport you in comfort and treat you to gorgeous views, warm ocean breezes and the possibility of seeing bottlenose dolphins, sea turtles and more. The Yankee Freedom’s onboard naturalist will also share fascinating facts about the area with you along the way. Spend the day discovering all the eco-wonders of the Dry Tortugas, including the powdery-soft sand beaches, snorkeling and swimming in the warm clear waters or just lazing under a swaying palm tree. Tour Fort Jefferson, which served as a prison during the Civil War. You’ll learn the intriguing history of the fort and get to see the cell that once held their most famous inmate, Samuel Mudd. A day of natural beauty and adventure awaits you on the Yankee Freedom.

Why Senior Travelers Prefer One Day Cruises

While some people may feel melancholic upon retirement, others see this new phase of life as an opportunity to explore the world and engage in activities they couldn't before. As a result, tourism targeting the elderly has become a significant part of overall tourist activity.
