    Friday, January 9, 2026. A must-do while in the Keys! This cruise was the perfect wrap-up to a great day in Florida. The sunset was sort of obscured by some clouds, but it was just that much more perfect, actually. Very picturesque!

    Went on the Sunset Cruise last night. My husband overdid it on the free champagne, I stopped after one but we had a great time. It was informative and relaxing which was what we were looking for. Got some incredible pics of the sunset.

    We had so much fun on our Sunset Cruise Tuesday evening. I can't give enough praise to Scott & Kevin. You can tell they are into it & enjoy what they do. Capt. Scott was welcoming & friendly. We felt safe with him at the helm. Kevin is awesome. He's an expert mate & has a vast knowledge of Marathon & the Keys. He was so much fun & was sure to keep the champagne flowing! He had so many good stories about the boats & people on the water. It was amazing! We spotted a family of dolphins that came with a surprise & of course, a spectacular sunset. The pace was perfect & not rushed at all. I can't wait to some of the other trips they offer! Thanks guys!

    What great cruise around the area. Sunset was awesome. Mandy and captain Scott keep it on island time. Great hosts! Hospitality extraordinaire. Go with charter and you will NOT be disappointed.

    Had an absolutely awesome adventure. The sandbar was great and the trip over and back was truly enjoyable. We highly recommend this charter.

    Captain Scott and Brandy.

    What an amazing day! This was our 2nd time booking Mermaid Charters and they just keep exceeding our expectations! We did the sand bar excursion on this trip with Captain Scott and Mandy, we love Captain Dawn and Brandon, but I must admit Scott and Mandy were equally fun! If you are looking for the best charter service in Marathon, book Mermaid Charters!!!

    We had a BLAST tonight on the sunset cruise. Bonus we got to see a school of dolphins and Captain Dawn kept the boat right near them and we got to see them jump and swim around us!! Captain Dawn and Brandon kept the drinks coming and the music going. Had a great evening!

    Don't hesitate... Book your trip with Marathon Mermaid. We did the reef snorkel with Scott and Allison and couldn't have asked for a better time! Allison greeted us as we arrived and got our family of four situated with our snorkeling gear and reef safe sunscreen. The boat was spacious and had snacks and drinks available for everyone. The ride to the reef was beautiful, music played, and Allison talked with everyone. One thing that set them above any charter we've ever been on is when they noticed garbage in the water and drove over to pick it up. They truly care about the environment and doing their part to keep it clean. Once at the reef we got more instructions and were able to explore for about 2 hours. At a point, Allison got into the water and pointed out animals she saw so everyone was able to locate them as well. I did drink a bit too much saltwater and ofc began vomiting. Allison and Chris were great with helping me get back onto the boat and provided water and ginger ale to help settle my stomach and then I was back in to explore more. This experience was one of our top 3 vacation experiences ever. You won't regret booking your trip with Marathon Mermaid.

    We loved our time on the Marathon Mermaid! tThe boat was clean, new, modern, and safe. My granddaughters had an awesome time! They loved the lily pad. Captains Scott and Kevin were so nice they told us all the safety features and they told us jokes . When we were in the water they w old get us a toy or a drink, so we didn't have to go back on the boat to get it. We had a great time at the sandbar! I would recommend this charter boat trip highly! It was well worth the money.

    Beautiful sunset

    This was a nice sunset cruise. It did seem like a lot of pressure for competition even between the same owners boats. I did enjoy the cruise. What's not to like about a sunset!

    See all

    Captain Dawn and Captain Brandon were great! We saw dolphins, a ray and a ton of cool fish at the reefs around an offshore lighthouse.

    Captain Scott was a wonderful host and an excellent boat captain! First , his boat is easy access…read moreto the marina parking lot. We had no issues finding his clean, new boat. Second , he has impeccable details to boating safety guidelines. You feel like you are in good hands with Captain Scott as he navigates the ocean. As we anchored at Sombrero Key Reef, Captain Scott paid attention to all safety concerns. Plenty of water toys to enjoy the abundance of surrounding fish and the blue waters of the Florida Keys! The boat was well stocked with towels, ice , water and soft drinks. If you need a catamaran rental for a slice of island paradise, go see Captain Scott!

    It's our first time to Duck Cay and I was looking for a boat charter for the day, I was referred to…read morea group that was totally booked and asked the captain if he knew of anyone else that did something other than fishing and he said these "new guys" are at the Faro Blanco Marina and they have a new boat and are very nice. So I gave them a call and I am so glad that the other place was booked up because this is by far the best charter I've ever been on. We snorkeled, had snacks, learned how to sail (a bit) and it was just amazing. My ten year old twins want me to book again tomorrow. Captain Scott and skipper Brody are outstanding. They made our day! Fresh fruit, yogurt, bagels and great sailing. What more can you ask for! Book with these guys! You won't regret it! Cannot beat the experience of the service. Don't go anywhere else! I'll be booking another tour, hopefully before we leave to return home, my husband had to miss it and after he heard about it from us, he wants to go :). Don't miss out on these guys!

    I found Ana Banana through FishingBooker.com. A 4.9 out of 5…read morestars seemed like a no brainer. I checked online to make sure the company was legitimate and called to formally book the trip. We excitedly booked at the end of January for a trip at the beginning of June, making it clear to Capt. Joel that the goal was to catch a sailfish or marlin or something to write home about - a memory our graduate would carry with him for a lifetime. I understand it was a stretch goal, but we quickly realized when we arrived for our very expensive 6 hour deep sea charter ($1600 + $300 tip), that Capt. Joel and his first mate, Eric, only ever intended to bait for Mahi - prey which is plentiful without the "deep sea"journey. The entire trip was a search for Frigate birds - apparently the real fishing guides. The fishing lines may have actually been in the water for only 45 minutes to an hour of the entire trip. We fared some rough, stormy seas to catch some very mediocre baby Mahi - total of 3 caught in what ended up being a 7.5 hour trip - plus a lost sea dinghy that the 1st mate and captain felt was worth retrieving for their own personal gain while we were politely grinning and baring an awful experience of a hopeless fishing expedition. Unfortunately, we got to watch one Mahi filet slip out of the first mate's hands into the ocean when he was cleaning the fish. I have to say, I did feel bad for him being left in the pouring rain to clean our fish while our captain dismissed himself to the indoors. Thankfully the 1st mate's friend came along with an umbrella after 15 minutes or so. At least we had enough for the three of us to have a "cook your catch" dinner at Castaways, along with some Ana Banana consolation fishing shirts and hats to memorialize this unremarkable trip. We were so excited and then so Incredibly dissatisfied with this trip. Please do yourself a favor and skip this Captain and skipper.
