I have been going on the Marathon Lady for the past 20 years between Memorial Day and Labor Day…read morewhen they start having their night fishing trips. I live in Miami and it takes me about two hours to get down to the Marathon Lady but it is definitely worth to drive and I pass about a dozen other party boats on the way. There is no party fishing boat that is better than the Marathon Lady, I know because I have tried them all. It's a family run business, and all of the crew always recognized me and my cousin. The Marathon Lady is the only Fishing boat that I recommend to everybody.

Had an absolute blast on the marathon lady today for their morning charter from 8:30 am until 12:30…read morepm. Captain Craig and the two Jakes were amazing. They helped with baiting the hooks, unhooking the catches, cleaning the fish, and providing unparalleled entertainment. We couldn't have asked for a better day on the water, the fish were biting and the weather was absolutely perfect. The captain kept putting us right on the fish and we ended the trip with plenty to bring to a restaurant for a hook and cook dinner. I can't recommend this place enough, the price is right and the people running it and keeping it going are great. The captain even let us know when a pod of dolphins were nearby so we could enjoy seeing them! Such an unexpected and great bonus to the day! It is BYOB if you want, but onboard they do have some beverages and snacks for purchase (cash only on board), but we brought our own which worked out well. Tickets can be purchased with debit or credit cards, but cash on board is king for drinks/snacks, tips, and fish cleaning so make sure to bring some cash for your day on the water! If you're in the middle keys and want a great value for a fishing trip without a full charter, this is the best there is and totally worth it.

Ok.. so I've never been ocean fishing before, but am in the Florida keys on vacation, so I figured…read moreyou know what let's charter a boat. Honestly I chose this place at random, and using all the reviews from various sources, and I am very happy I did. Captain Jeff was awesome. This was kind of a surprise for my wife and she was a bit apprehensive when she found out as she had been ocean fishing once before and didn't catch anything. Captain Jeff took us out, gave us a quick tutorial on how to bait the hooks with some nice juicy shrimp, and before my wife's first hook even hit the bottom she had a fish :-) Between her, my mother-in-law, and myself we caught a couple dozen easily. I noticed after the first hour or so kept and Jeff was working with my wife and had switched her bait to some little minnows at least it appeared to be minnows, and she was catching a little bit bigger fish including a nice dogfish. I was happy with this, as I was having a good time and she was happy too. He then looks at me and says so what do you think maybe we change position and catch something a little bigger? I say sure why not Now in my brain, something a little bigger means instead of the 2 lb fish we were currently catching maybe we'd get a 5-pounder of something. Oh no, that's not exactly what he was thinking. He switched fishing poles, put some "bait" on a hook that was honestly bigger than some of the fish I had just caught, tossed it over the side and handed me the rod. Didn't take very long I had what ended up being a 50/60 lb Greater Amberjack on the line, which wore me completely out in a short 6 minutes which is how long it took to bring it up. So yea, I'd definitely recommend Captain Jeff if your interested in a fishing trip near Marathon Florida.

Went out on a rough day but captain Jeff made the best of it and we caught fish. We will definitely…read morebe back again and book him.

We have used Johnny Maddox several times when we come down to Marathon. He used to run under the…read morebusiness called Captain Pips. We have never been disappointed even if we were another captain that worked for him. But this year was exceptional. We were so busy reeling them in we never got a break between 3 of us on the boat as passengers. We caught many Jac, yellow fin, and snapper. We also caught a 7 foot shark which of course we did not bring in the boat, but released and a sting ray as big as the hood of a car which got off of the line in the end. But it took us 25 minutes to get it near the boat. Johnny is personable and his mate is very helpful. I regret I can't remember his name. We were there the second week in March, 2015 and will go back again. They supply all fishing equiptment, bait, etc. They were both informative and efficient. Be prepared for a good time, great fishing and remember to tip them well. You bring your own drinks and sandwiches, if you have time to eat them.

We had the best time today with Johnny and his first mate Nick! they were amazing. They met us at…read morethe dock and we did not have to do anything except show up. We had a beautiful day on the water, a great boat ride, and a lot of fish caught. John put us on the fish right away. Johnny and Nick both were kind, funny and considerate. We especially loved Johnny's jokes. He treated us like family, it was an overall amazing day as we traveled from Oregon and Tampa to fish in the keys. This is the first time we have done this and it definitely will not be the last. We will see Johnny Maddox Charters again very soon!!
