Overview

Experience a side of the Florida Keys that can only truly be appreciated from the water. Marathon provides access to an incredible network of shallow flats, mangrove-lined backcountry, and clear tropical waters where anglers can pursue some of the Keys' most celebrated game fish.

Depending on the season and conditions, target tarpon, bonefish, permit, snook, and other species while exploring the surrounding backcountry with an experienced local captain. The shallow-water setting creates a more intimate fishing experience where spotting fish, making the right cast, and watching the action unfold can be as exciting as the catch itself.

Fish from a modern skiff or flats boat with rods, reels, tackle, and necessary safety equipment provided. Combining personalized fishing, iconic Florida Keys species, and beautiful backcountry scenery, this private Marathon charter delivers an unforgettable shallow-water adventure.
