    Family trip with little kids :)

    My kids favorite part of our vacation! This was such a great family fishing trip for us! We went with our 3 kids aged 10,8, and 5. Captain Ed and Ian did a great job teaching us how to fish. They were extremely attentive to the kids and helped them catch over 20 fish a piece! When we got back to the dock they prepped the fish for us and recommended fed a restaurant to bring it to after and we had enough fish to eat for 3 days!! We will be booking with Ed again next year! I highly recommend!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for choosing Wet Tails Charters. We're glad you all.enjoyed the day and look forward to fishing with you all again. Ed

    Captain Ed and Ian were...

    Captain Ed and Ian were phenomenal. Ian hustled by keeping our bait on the hook and helped our kids reel the fish in. Captain Ed kept us safe as the storms approached. We caught so many interesting fish and had a delicious dinner with the snapper caught: highly recommend.

    Response from the operator: Joni, Thank you for choosing Wet Tails Charters. Glad you all enjoyed the trip. We hope to see you all again 🎣

    Fabulous Family Charter

    Fabulous experience! My husband, our two kids - 10+ 12, and I did a 4 hour charter with Wet Tails and it was FABULOUS! Ed and Ian were super helpful, patient with us, and made everything extraordinarily fun! We saw a bull shark - and caught plenty of fish!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for choosing us to help create some lasting memories for you all. Look forward to having you join is again 🎣

    Outstanding trip!

    I’ve done many inshore fishing trips. This one topped them all. We caught probably 100 fish in the 6 hours. Captain Ed and first mate Ian were fantastic!

    Response from the operator: Chris, Thanks for choosing us. We had a great time with you all. Look forward to fishing with you again.

    Marathon Florida Keys Fishing Experience: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Key West.

    How much does Marathon Florida Keys Fishing Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $895 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Key West usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Marathon Florida Keys Fishing Experience take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Key West is not rushed.

    Is Marathon Florida Keys Fishing Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 39 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Key West, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Marathon Florida Keys Fishing Experience?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Marathon Florida Keys Fishing Experience suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Marathon Florida Keys Fishing Experience?

    +

    Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Key West can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Key West and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Marathon Florida Keys Fishing Experience start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Key West within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Key West?

    +

    Key West is a boat town. The only living coral barrier reef in the continental US sits seven miles offshore, and reef trips, sunset catamarans and backcountry kayak runs are the core bookings, alongside Hemingway house and Duval history walks. Our ranking weighs boat capacity and reef site rotation, which separates the good operators from the party cruises. On Outty we rank every Key West experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Shark and Wildlife Viewing Adventure in Key West, Southernmost Food & Cultural Walking Tour by Key West Food Tours, Half-Day Trip from Key West with Kayaking, Snorkeling & Sunset. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Key West?

    +

    December to April, dry season and calm reef water. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Key West?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
