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.

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.

Everytime we go out he teaches us so much about fishing, the keys, marine life and makes it fun! His boat is pristine. Kevin does so much planning before your trip to make it as successful as possible with weather and ocean conditions . While you are out with him, he does not stop. From positioning the boat , baiting your lines and teaching you techniques for reeling in your catch to maximize your catches to the limit for a day! He even cleaned all our fish for us! He is so deserving of a 5 star review! Thank you again Florida Keys Reel Adventures and see you again this year!

What a day on the water. Kevin is a great guide. We caught a ton of fish and brought in enough for…read more3 meals. We could have kept more but that would be wasteful. We fished 5 to 6 spots and caught fish at every spot. We use different techniques per location and it was fun to learn new methods to catch fish. His boat and equipment are top notch. His ability to teach the youngest kids how to catch fish makes it enjoyable for everyone on board. No need to be a PHD in angling Kevin Will get fish in the boat and enough fish for a meal. Go see Kevin if you are in Marathon for an enjoyable fishing day.

AVOID this charter. They don't tell you till you book that…read morethis is a share your catch boat. The whole boat is lazy. Small cooler for your catch so they won't let you keep grunts. They say because they are hard to clean but they are liars. Ran out of bait. Go someplace else or don't fish. Waste of time and money. I caught 4 yellowtail and 3 lane snappers. Only took home 5 fillets because they gave fish to people who spent more time on their phones than fishing.
