Fun in the Sun - Check in was easy. Captain Scott and crew were fun and inviting. The boat was clean and well stocked with snacks and drinks. Sandbar was beautiful. The kayaks made the trip even better. Try the rum punch. Tasty

Sandbar Party of 19 - Last summer we went on the Mermaid sandbar adventure and knew that when we came back this fall, we had to go again. It’s such a fun activity to do with a large group + a wide range of ages. The boat ride is so beautiful, and full of dreamy homes. The sandbar spot was perfect! The sand is so smooth and there was plenty of ocean toys to play with while at the sandbar. The boat is beautiful and well kept. The captain was fun and brought so much energy and confidence to the boat! We always appreciate Captain Dawn. The Mermaid boat is my boy’s favorite to visit every time we come to The Keys. We will be back!

Booked all 3. Wish thete were more. - We went on 3 trips this week (snorkeling, sandbar, and sunset cruise) with Marathon Mermaid Charters. Scott, Mandy, Dawn, and Brandon were awesome. Their personalities made everything so enjoyable. We saw a turtle while snorkeling and a manatee while at the sandbar. We would certainly use them again. Also, Lisa was a great help in booking the reservation. We had to change the reservation a couple times and she was extremely patient with us.

Great sandbar experience. - Capt. Scott & Mandy were great. If you want to go to the sandbar these are your people! Very attentive but not intrusive at all. My family mentioned wanting to go to the Dry Tortugas & Scott worked the phones & found a way to make that happen on a go fast boat. They changed their minds about going that far so Capt. Scott & Mandy are taking them out again in the morning so they can go snorkeling at the reef.
