We went out on the Marathon lady last year and again this year and probably would have gone out on her more but it was tough to get any spots reserved on or near the stern. The day we went the catch was fair, a mix of yellowtail and mangrove snapper, grunts and porgies. We were able to put quite... More

The crew could not have been any better. Almost all fish caught were small. There were 2 groupers caught. They were out of season, so they were released. Other boats at the southern end of Vaca Key did catch more fish the day before. Again, small but yellow tail snapper versus the grunt and few snapper we caught. All in... More

We were skeptical about this party boat because it was so affordable. We went out for an afternoon of fishing, caught many types and sizes of fish.

I booked an afternoon trip with my wife and 10 year old and it was so much fun! Great quality boat, awesome staff and they took care of everything. We all caught fish and they crew cleaned them for us. Would highly recommend. More

They suck you in for a low fee, then charge for everything, rod, bait, boat postion, even to clean your fish. (which the boat had only 10 fish with 22 people) The catch were Grunts and they tried to make you believe the were "silver snapper". Boat was dirty, crew unfriendly. and over crowded. Don't waste your vacation money!!!!! More

Great and helpful crew! caught lots of fish! Took our snacks, drinks and what not. Saw lots of kinds of different marine life. My husband who loves to fish was skeptical but had a blast! We would definitely use the Marathon Lady again! More

When in Marathon, the Marathon Lady is a must on our list of things to do. The captain and mates, John and Jake, are incredibly attentative without being pushy to more experienced fishermen. We saw lots of action-everything from small grunts and pesky moray eels to larger grouper, sharks and mangrove snappers. We had a great time and went out... More

Had planned to do sea dog, but when we stopped by just felt like they didn't want our business. Complete opposite w marathon lady. It was a break in our favor, ended up going on this boat twice over a week. Plenty of fish, and the help was first class. Would be perfect for kids. Even on second day when... More
