Marathon
Sombrero Reef Snorkeling
Snorkel the famous Sombrero Reef, part of the third largest barrier reef in the world, aboard the fastest and newest boat in Marathon.
Snorkeling, sandbar days and sunset cruises
with the local Mermaid family.
Marathon is where the Mermaid family began. Come explore the heart of the Florida Keys aboard the Marathon Mermaid, the fastest, newest and most comfortable boat in Marathon.
We built the Marathon Mermaid from the ground up, custom-designed and built right here in Marathon, so we could share the waters we fell in love with everyone who visited our beautiful home. From here you can snorkel the famous Sombrero Reef, spend the day at a local sandbar, or cruise around the iconic Seven Mile Bridge at sunset. Come see our home on the water with the local family who knows it best.
Every trip departs from our dock in Marathon. Book any of them as a private charter for your group.

Captain Dawn and First Mate Brandon are THE BEST!!! We took the sunset cruise for our son's 12th birthday and let me tell you, what an adventure! We encountered a storm and Captain Dawn remained calm and got us back to shore safe and sound, while still having a great time! We can't wait to take another cruise with Marathon Mermaid!
We loved our sunset cruise. First mate Brandon and Capt Doug showed us all a great time with champagne and stories. The best part, so many dolphins swimming along in front of the boat, everyone got pictures! We look forward to next time when we take their snorkel trip!
The 2 women who ran the boat were wonderful. They were knowledgeable and informative, engaging with the guests, and entertaining as well! The champagne flowed! There were 14 guests on the sunset cruise which made for friendly conversation. The sunset was spectacular! It was a wonderful way to spend the evening. We will definitely use Marathon Mermaid in the future!!
