The crew running Spirit Snorkeling are very professional, clean, considerate, and friendly. Spirit has competitors, called: Starfish Snorkeling which is right next door. DO NOT choose Starfish snorkeling. The Captain of the Starfish is rude, loud, and smokes continuously throughout the whole trip. I was with my family while on her boat and to have to inhale smoke for 3... more

Beautiful boat, beautiful location. However--being a novice snorkeler i didnt know to hold my mask to my head while jumping in the water, and down it went about 20 feet. When i asked the captain of the boat for a replacement mask after explaining what happened, i got a stern look and a shake of the head. My daughter and... more

The people who work for Spirit are really nice. We went to Sombrero Reef and got to spend 2 hours on the water snorkelling. With travel time the whole trip was about 3-31/2 hours.

We had snorkeled Lo Key out of Strike Zone on Big Pine which was great, but because we were staying in Marathon this year we thought we would go to a different reef and choose Sombrero Reef and choose Spirit. Calls and emails were answered quickly and it was $30 each even if prescription glasses were needed. Very nice boat... more

I read so much about snorkeling before picking spirit snorkeling. Pros: - very cheap ( 30 $ a person with mask and life jacket plus you could print 2$ off coupon from their web site) -You could spend around 2 hours in the water not like some other places 45 min - supposedly the most beautiful coral reef in the... more

We can really recommend Spirit Snorkeling if you are in Marathon. Only, be aware that the Map Google does not work, this is actually at the western side of the town. However, we went out to the Sombrero Reef Lighthouse and as this was our first snorkeling experience, we do not have much to compare with. But it was so... more
