Amazing Experience!

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!

Lovely Night in Marathon Key

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!

Highly Recommend!

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!!

Sunset Cruise is a Must!

Just left our Sunset Cruise and it was the BEST water experience we've had so far! Our captain was Katie and our Champagne Fairy was Allison. They felt like friends and hosted an amazing cruise. We had beautiful weather and learned some cool facts about the Keys. This experience is a must and we can't wait to book more adventures with them!

The Absolute Pleasure

We had the absolute pleasure of going on a sunset cruise with Captain Bill and First Mate Mandy. We had a wonderful time with Mandy sharing so many interesting facts. At one point we were joined by some dolphins, and Captain Bill and Mandy made sure we got to fully enjoy the experience and still see our beautiful sunset. This is a highly recommended, must do if you are in Marathon or nearby!
