All perfect, great day out
Cannot speak highly enough of Captain Micheal. Very nice boat; all crew very friendly and helpful. We were let down at the last minute by 'spot on' fishing, but it worked out better for us, as we couldn't fault our trip on fishing time. They kindly took us on board after we had travelled all the way from my home to be let down at the last minute. If you are planning a fishing trip, do not look anywhere else. Thanks so much.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the kind words—it means a lot! Captain Michael and the crew will be truly touched by your appreciation, especially knowing you were let down elsewhere and still walked away with a 5-star day. We’re thrilled everything from the friendly team to the fishing time exceeded expectations, and even more so that we could turn a last-minute disappointment into something better. We’d love to welcome you back anytime—next trip, we’ll aim to make it even more unforgettable. 🎣

Fantastic Marathon Fishing Trip
Called last minute as we didn't know our schedule with all the craziness going on. Capt was open and lite hearted, which made the whole trip that much more fun. Great boat, really clean and plainly of room. We caught grouper, snapper and Mahi Mahi all in 6 hours. We only scheduled a 4hr, but was having so much fun, the captain let us extend it. Will 100% do this again, and can not recommend this trip enough.
Response from the operator: We appreciate you taking the time to post your experience, we hope you're hooked! Till next time, tight lines

Could have been better
Capt. Zack was a nice guy, but he needed a first mate, more life jackets and a cleaner boat. A man in our party had to drive the boat to help catch bait. The description of the adventure wasn't as primitive as our experience. Our bathroom was a five gallon bucket on the back of the boat. Not cool for the ladies. Two seats and a bean bag for 4. He needed a better place for exposed fish hooks (not next to our seat). 3 of us got hooked on his poles. We met at a state park which meant we had an additional parking fee. We caught some nice fish and had fun, but other fishing charter experiences were much better than this one.
Response from the operator: Barb, so sorry about your bad experience. After doing much research into your trip, the reason your trip was not what you expected was that your travel agent booked it and had "NO IDEA" what they were doing. With offshore fishing trips all around the world, there are many different model boats used. Your prior experience using an offshore charter was on a bigger boat, with a head and first mate. This is totally understandable, we have those as well. The problem was that your travel agent had no idea what they were doing, and with not having contact with you prior to help get you on the boat you were looking for (expecting). Instead, your travel agent chose the one they could make the most money on, not providing what you desired. For our readers, we refunded almost the entire fee to the travel agent which we did for you Barb, The travel agent should have been the one to refund your money for the ignorance of selling something and not asking the correct questions which would have prevented this entire situation. Again Barb, we would have never put you on that boat. By asking in the presale we would have understood what you were looking for and expecting out of your charter. The boat you were on is common for the area and less expensive.

Why this scores 44
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Marathon Offshore Fishing Charter: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Key West.
How much does Marathon Offshore Fishing Charter cost?
+
Prices start at $1500 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 Offshore Fishing Charter 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 Offshore Fishing Charter worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 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 Offshore Fishing Charter?
+
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 Offshore Fishing Charter 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 Offshore Fishing Charter?
+
Around 1 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 Offshore Fishing Charter 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.
