2.Dry Tortugas National Park Day Trip by Catamaran from Key West

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 433 reviews · from $220

Take the Yankee Freedom III from Key West to Dry Tortugas National Park for a full day of Fort Jefferson, beaches, coral reefs, snorkeling, breakfast, lunch, and sea views. Guides such as Hollywood, Dan, and Ben bring the fort’s story to life, while the long ride calls for patience.

“We had a wonderful time. Mostly we enjoyed the walking tour with Dan. We learn the history and also all of past and present. A few stories also. Great job Dan! The ship’s crew out of their way to serve us and make sure we had a wonderful time. Thank you Yankee Freedom!”

3.Catamaran excursions in the Asinara island National park

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 312 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $120Best value

Spend about eight hours aboard Buriana Charter’s catamaran with skipper Giovanni, stopping at quiet Asinara coves for swimming and guided snorkeling. You’ll visit the former prison, see rescued marine animals and wild donkeys, and eat a three-course seafood lunch with wine, coffee, and a digestif.

“Pese a hacer un poco de frío la experiencia fue maravillosa. Estuvieron muy atentos y fueron modificando el itinerario a nuestro gusto debido a las condiciones meteorológicas. La comida estaba deliciosa, es increíble como se puede hacer algo tan bueno en un barco. Acabamos con las reservas de vino y eso que había 7 botellas. Mil gracias por la experiencia y sin duda lo recomiendo al 100%”
