What if fewer than four guests are booked?

The departure remains pending until the minimum is reached. If the minimum is not reached by the operator's confirmation cutoff, guests can be offered another available date or a refund according to the shared-trip booking policy. No one should arrive at the dock without knowing whether the trip is confirmed.

What if Reel Paradise is sold out?

Contact Explore Dry Tortugas. We can help you compare the another small-group or private charter option when the live Reel Paradise calendar is full.

Shared charter vs private charter

A private charter gives one group the entire boat and the most control over the schedule and itinerary. Shared seats lower the per-person cost, but guests travel with other customers and follow the shared departure schedule.
