Situated in Florida’s middle Keys, Marathon has the Atlantic Ocean on its eastern side and the Gulf of Mexico to the west – which is a truly magnificent opportunity to catch the most spectacular big game fish in the world (of which there are a large variety here). Our Marathon Fishing Charters allow anglers to experience this massive advantage. Fish of all types migrate along the Gulf Stream current which passes close to shore. You can catch many of the biggest and most respected sports fish on the planet from our luxury fishing boats in Marathon.

One of the top sports fishing destinations in the world, anglers arrive in Marathon by their tens of thousands every year to catch fish such as swordfish, shark, blue marlin, sailfish, white marlin, grouper, tuna, snapper and mahi-mahi. These challenging fish promise adrenalin, exhilaration and are very rewarding to catch. Many of the fish that are caught on our Marathon Fishing Charters are exceptionally tasty and can be taken home for dinner.

All our luxury fishing boats in Marathon have great benefits for anglers of all experience levels. They are clean, comfortable and extremely safe (being fully compliant with the United States Coast Guard safety regulations). You can relax during your trip while our captains and crews dispense their knowledge and experience with every angler onboard. They will help you to catch the biggest fish of your career and will show you how to use the techniques required to catch most of them. Each fishing yacht in our Marathon fleet is fully outfitted with tournament grade equipment of the highest quality. This is available for you to use to successfully target any big game fish off the coast of Marathon.

The island lifestyle is a huge attraction for tourists to the area, and they bask in the tropical climate. When you are not onboard our luxury fishing yachts in Marathon, you can enjoy immensely popular activities such as diving, spear fishing, snorkelling and lobster tickling. The Turtle Hospital rescues, rehabilitates and releases sea turtles and you can visit their fantastic facility. You can head off to the beach where you will find The Island Tiki Bar and Grill for a relaxing sun downer or two, and there are a number of really great restaurants in the area. You can go golfing, sightseeing and shopping. You can enjoy relaxation or excitement. Marathon has everything to offer every type of tourist that visits here.

A bad day of fishing does not exist on our Marathon Fishing Charters. There are always fish biting and we can focus on catching them. You are able to target any fish you desire while using the techniques and equipment most effective for catching them. If you are very adventurous then you can target them all over the course of several days on our various luxury fishing boats in Marathon.

Sportfish type boats are the quintessential fishing machines. They are designed for speed and seaworthiness in a variety of conditions. The traditional sportfish design consists of a long bow, followed by the cabin, and behind it a large fishing area. Over the cabin is the "flybridge" where the captain steers from. Some sportfish have a tower above the flybridge, which is useful for spotting certain types of fish.

Express style sportfish are similar to standard sportfish in design, but instead of having a salon midship, there is an open outdoor seating area and steering station. The advantage is that everyone is one the same level. On the other hand, the express design limits interior space, so it is more appropriate for groups that like to be outside.
