Trip to the Sandbar in Marathon - Started out with a little drizzle but that didn’t stop us from enjoying the day on the water at the Sandbar. Captain and 1st Mate kept the day going with information of the surrounding area. Would definitely recommend.

Sandbar cruise with special dolphin visitors - We had the perfect day with Dawn and Brandon. So much fun! We saw dolphins on the trip there, Dawn drove around so we could watch them and take videos! Then we anchored at the sandbar and we enjoyed the sunshine, kayaks and boards, music and fun. I highly recommend both the sandbar and the sunset cruise, both 5 star!
