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.

Sad to say, we're retiring our tradition of going out on the Marathon Lady every year for our anniversary trip.

The captain took myself, a close friend and my two teenage boys out on a last minute charter to pull some mackerel, snapper, hound fish, sharks and trout.

An outstanding educational trip for my boys not to mention he was incredibly patient and thoughtful for my sons and I as we were first timers. Can't recommend him enough, we will definitely return for many years to come.

We were scammed. We…read morebooked a boat rental with this company **six months in advance**, so we were extremely disappointed when we arrived and were told our reserved boat had broken down. Ray offered us a larger boat at the same price, and we signed a contract for the replacement boat covering the same **three-day rental period** as our original reservation. However, at the end of the **first day**, we were unexpectedly told that we only had the larger boat for one day because it had already been rented to someone else. This was the first time anyone had mentioned that, despite the contract we had signed. Ray and Barbara told us they would try to find us another boat and give us a call. We never received a phone call or any follow-up. The situation became even more frustrating when we requested a refund for the days we were unable to use a boat. Barbara initially told us we would be able to receive a refund, but after that it became very difficult to get answers. Ray would not return or answer our phone calls. While trying to resolve the issue, we went to Duck Key Marina, where the company was previously located. We were told that similar situations had happened to other customers in the past. We understand that mechanical problems happen, and we would have been understanding if the situation had been handled professionally. Unfortunately, the lack of communication, failure to honor the signed rental agreement, and difficulty obtaining a refund turned what should have been a great vacation into a very frustrating experience. I cannot recommend this company based on how our reservation and refund were handled.

If I could give zero stars, I would. This rating is not because of the facilities or the campground…read moreitself--it is entirely because of the way this situation was handled and the way my family was treated by the management. After nearly four years of visiting Jolly Roger RV Resort in Marathon and spending much of our summers there, I never imagined our experience would end this way. We truly loved this place. Our daughters grew up coming here, made great friends, and created wonderful memories. That is exactly why the way we were treated by the management was so disappointing. After the incident, our conversation regarding our permanent removal from the resort was handled directly by the park manager, Angie. Unfortunately, that conversation left us feeling unheard, unfairly judged, and with the impression that no consideration was given to our years as respectful, responsible guests. During the Fourth of July weekend, when the campground was extremely busy, several children were playing at the dock. As they had done during previous summers, some of them were jumping from the boat ramp into the water. I was the only parent present supervising the children who were with me. An employee came by and asked for the lot numbers of the families there. I was the only person who honestly and responsibly provided our lot number. The following day, I received a phone call from the park manager informing us that we had been permanently banned from the RV park. What hurt the most was not the decision itself, but the way the entire situation was handled. We were never given a meaningful opportunity to explain our side of the story, nor did anyone consider that, throughout all the years we had been coming here, we had never had a single complaint or incident. In addition, we were held responsible for situations that did not involve our family and that, from our perspective, were simply not true. It felt as though decisions were made based on assumptions rather than a fair evaluation of the facts or our long history as respectful guests. I was also surprised that there were no clear signs stating that children were not allowed to jump from that area. The posted signs referred to swimming at your own risk and under adult supervision, so we had no reason to believe that this behavior would result in a permanent ban. The saddest part was feeling as though we were treated like troublemakers or criminals when we have always been a respectful, responsible family that has taken care of both our children and the property. I can only speak about our own experience, but it ended with tremendous disappointment. More than the decision itself, it was the lack of empathy, respect, and willingness to listen that caused us to completely lose confidence in the management. We left heartbroken, especially for our daughters, who loved this place and were looking forward to spending the rest of the summer there. It is unfortunate that so many years of wonderful memories ended because of a situation that, in our opinion, could have been handled with communication, fairness, and basic respect. I sincerely hope the management reflects on how they treat families and handle situations like this. A great RV park is defined not only by its facilities, but also by the fairness, professionalism, and humanity with which it treats its guests.

She was loud rude and refused to let me tell her what I was told when I made my reservation. Additionally, when I told her you won't let me tell you what I was told she said your reservation is canceled and hung up on me. I immediately received an email saying my reservation was cancelled. I think she did it purposely because my rate was $80.00 per day as I booked months in advance and they now charge $138.00 per night. I have stayed at a lot of rv parks and this was the worst experience I ever had with a staff member! I would avoid this RV park for sure! Beware of Jolly Roger's!

We have even seen multiple times a huge beautiful golden loggerhead sea turtle that likes to hang out close by. It's absolutely spectacular to see him go up and down and just let the surge take him. We love this pier is very active and great for all time fishing. And at night the stars take over the sky which are absolutely missed in the city.

I recently visited Fishtails and unfortunately left quite disappointed. Given how busy the…read morerestaurant was, I had high expectations--but the experience did not match the crowd. I ordered the grouper, which is typically a highlight in the Florida Keys, but it lacked even basic seasoning and fell flat in flavor. The coleslaw was noticeably too sweet for my taste, and the potato salad included green peppers, which is an unusual choice and didn't complement the dish well. The service also left much to be desired. Our waitress was inattentive and provided very little information throughout the meal. Most concerning was that we left a significant portion of our food untouched, yet she never checked in or asked if anything was wrong--something I would expect at any restaurant, especially one as busy as this. Overall, while the atmosphere may draw a crowd, the food quality and service did not meet expectations. For comparison, I've had a far better grouper sandwich at Keys Fisheries Market & Marina, which makes this experience even more disappointing. I hope improvements can be made, as this location clearly has potential. Respond to owner, your response is your opinion, I have no reason to give bad information, if you watched your video as you stated you would have been able to see my friend and I dusguessing the food, also she never refilled our tea as frankly we didn't even drink it all. A good and attentive waitress could have mentioned that it came with coleslaw not to give two portions. It's whatever sir and if you want to get more technical, they grouper was fishy tasting and still had the dark vein line down the filet.
