Marathon Private Boat Charters

The whole boat, just for your group. Book any of our trips as a private charter.

Your Own Keys Adventure

Book any of our trips as a private charter!

Want the Marathon Mermaid all to yourselves? You can. Every trip we run can be booked as a full-boat private charter for your group, so it is only the people you came to the Keys with on the water that day.

Our boat is a custom-built catamaran, built from the ground up. It is truly a one of a kind boat, the only one like it in the world, and the fastest, newest and most comfortable boat in Marathon. You get a large shaded area, cushioned seating all around, a bathroom onboard, and our kayaks, paddleboards, lily pad and water toys along for the ride.

Tell us the kind of day you are dreaming of and we will build the trip around you and your group. It is your day on the water, run by a local family who loves sharing these waters as much as you will love being out on them.
