Marathon snorkeling - Amazing, Captain Kinsey and first mate Orion explained everything in detail. They had noodles to float with for extra help. I would definitely go again with them. The fish were so pretty and clear that day. Couldn’t have asked for a better morning.

Relaxing Afternoon Trip - Took the afternoon sandbar cruise. Captain David and Jake the first mate were great! They made sure everyone was happy and having a good time. Even moving locations to find clearer water. The boat is comfy and a great way to spend a relaxing afternoon catching some rays and seeing the Keys from different perspective than just driving around! Snacks and drinks on board were definitely a plus.

Very good - The first place we went to at the sandbar was not very good so they took us to another place and that was much better.

Wonderful customer service and experience - We had a wonderful experience with Marathon Mermaid. Originally I had booked a snorkeling tour but the weather conditions were not suitable. The tour company had excellent communication about conditions and rescheduling options. We chose to do the sandbar tour and it did not disappoint! Our captain and guide were friendly and safety conscious. I will definitely recommend this company to anyone wanting a fun experience on the water.

Wonderful sandbar experience! - We had a wonderful sandbar trip with Marathon Mermaid over Memorial Day weekend. The crew were friendly and helpful. We loved that they provided the accessories like paddle boards, kayaks and noodles so you just need to bring your towel! This was the highlight of our trip. Highly recommended!
