Is there cell phone service in the Dry Tortuga?
 
No, and not much VHF coverage. They post the weather forecast at the Fort daily.

Was my experience too as of 3-years ago. Zero cell, zero VHF. Was sorta nice that way - water is beautiful!

Sometimes at night weird stuff happens and you can get a signal, but as a rule remote is remote. It's 76 miles to Key West. :socool:
