I have not been on that particular boat but I have been to the Dry Tortugas. It is about 60 miles west of Key West and took us about 2 hrs to get there on a 100' Catamaran from KW. Fort Jefferson is there. Lots of Civil War history, Dr. Mudd, etc, etc.
We snorkeled and took a guided tour. The reef fish were abundant as was the bird life. We actually saw a huge 'cuda too. Noticed some anglers there fishing nearby in mid-sized center consoles. As I said, I'm not familiar with that boat but I wouldn't pass up an opportunity to fish around there! What species are you interested in targeting?

Thanks for the reply. I guess they go after the resident reef species . The weekend
trips are a 3 day deal. Take care R.J.
