A Little About The Keys and Kayaking

The Florida Keys consists of a chain of islands containing the only living barrier reef in North America. Florida Keys boating or Florida Keys sailing allows you to fully experience this unique water ecosystem designated as part of our National Marine Sanctuary. Do your part to preserve this unique ecosystem. Study the marine charts, ask for local advice and if needed, request a guide. Water color can indicate areas that should be avoided. Brown areas may indicate protected reefs and sea grass beds while white areas indicate sand bars and shallow rubble areas. Small shallow draft boats may be able to go through areas of green water but larger boats should only go through blue areas.

Marathon boating is convenient due to several boat ramps in and around Marathon such as Cannon Marine, Marathon Marina, Sombrero Resort, Dodge Lake, 33rd St. Public Ramp, Marie's Yacht Harbor and Coco Plum. Boot Key Harbor offers services for Marathon Sailing.

Florida Keys kayaking is an ideal way to travel through the backcountry on the north side of the Overseas Highway. This backcountry is a vast expanse of uninhabited coral and mangrove islands, sea grass fields and tidal channels which provides homes and breeding grounds for a wide variety of endangered and precious species. Marathon kayaking rental places offer tours of mangrove ecosystems, shore flats, the 7 mile bridge and other specialty tours. Meanwhile private island kayaking is a convenient way to explore the calm waters around our islands. We provide kayaks with all our rentals and can arrange guided tours.

About Our Fishing Vacations

A Florida Keys fishing vacation gives you the opportunity to experience a multitude of fishing opportunities among the natural beauty of the Florida Keys, America's Caribbean, without leaving the United States. In addition, Florida Keys fishing offers access to the Atlantic, Florida Bay and Gulf of Mexico by providing off shore, wreck, reef, channel and bridge fishing along with flats and backcountry fishing.

Start your weekly fishing vacation by either booking a private charter boat or joining a party fishing boat with a licensed guide knowledgeable about local fish movements and feeding habits.

Marathon fishing also offers numerous wrecks, coral reefs and artificial reefs where you can find mangrove snapper, Spanish mackerel, cobia, dolphin fish, wahoo, tuna, sailfish and marlin to name a few. Inland you can fish on the Old 7 Mile Bridge, Long Key bridge, Bahia Honda bridge and Tom’s Harbor bridges. Find tarpon around bridges, inshore channels and flats. Experience the thrill of sight cast hunting of wary bonefish, permit and tarpon with light tackle while enjoying backcountry flat fishing and the beauty of the Great White Heron National Wildlife refuge and Everglades National Park.
