Cruise the Canals of Marathon in Style

Ready to kick back and soak in the beauty of Marathon, Florida from the water? Our Canal Cruise and Real Estate Excursions are the perfect way to explore the hidden gems of this Florida Keys paradise. Whether you're scoping out waterfront properties or just looking for a relaxing day on the water, we've got you covered. Our seasoned captain knows these canals like the back of his hand, so you're in for a treat as we wind our way through Marathon's scenic waterways.

Laid-Back Luxury on the Water

Picture this: you're gliding through crystal-clear canals, cold drink in hand, with the warm Florida sun on your face. That's what you're in for on our Canal Cruise. We keep things casual and comfortable, with space for up to four guests. It's like hanging out on a floating porch with your own personal tour guide. Our captain's got the lowdown on all the local hotspots, from the best waterfront restaurants to the most jaw-dropping mansions. And if you're in the market for a slice of paradise yourself, our Real Estate Excursions are a game-changer. There's no better way to get a feel for waterfront living than from the water itself.

Navigating the Keys' Backwaters

Our trips aren't about fancy gear or high-tech gadgets. It's all about the experience of cruising these incredible waterways. We're talking a smooth, steady ride on a well-equipped boat that's perfect for these shallow canals. Our captain's got the local knowledge to navigate even the trickiest passages, so you can sit back and enjoy the ride. We'll point out interesting sights along the way, from local wildlife to hidden coves that most tourists never see. And because we're on a smaller boat, we can get up close and personal with the scenery in a way that bigger tours just can't match.

Keys Life from the Canal Side

Ever wonder what it's like to live in the Florida Keys? Our canal cruises give you a sneak peek into the laid-back lifestyle that makes this place so special. You'll see locals fishing off their docks, pelicans diving for their lunch, and maybe even a manatee or two if we're lucky. It's a chance to slow down and really soak in the Keys vibe. And if you're thinking about making the move here yourself, our Real Estate Excursions are a no-brainer. We'll cruise by some of the hottest properties on the market, giving you a waterside view that you just can't get from a car.

Wildlife Wonders of Marathon

While we're not specifically targeting any fish species on these trips, the canals of Marathon are teeming with marine life. Keep your eyes peeled for playful dolphins that sometimes cruise alongside our boat, or graceful herons stalking their prey along the shoreline. If you're lucky, you might spot a gentle manatee lumbering through the water. These "sea cows" are a favorite among locals and visitors alike, known for their docile nature and curious personalities. They're most active in the warmer months, so summer cruises often offer the best chance to see these amazing creatures up close.

Another local favorite is the tarpon, often called the "silver king" of gamefish. While we won't be fishing for them on this trip, you might see these massive fish rolling on the surface or even leaping clear out of the water. Tarpon can grow up to 8 feet long and weigh over 200 pounds, making them an impressive sight. They're most active in the spring and early summer, which coincides perfectly with our peak season for canal cruises.

And let's not forget about the colorful world beneath the surface. The clear waters of the Keys are home to a variety of tropical fish, from vibrant parrotfish to sleek barracuda. While you won't need to bring your snorkel gear on this trip, you'll still get plenty of chances to peek into this underwater world from the comfort of our boat.

Time to Set Sail in Marathon

Whether you're a longtime Keys lover or a first-time visitor, our Canal Cruise and Real Estate Excursions offer a unique way to experience Marathon. It's the perfect blend of relaxation and exploration, all wrapped up in a comfortable, casual package. With drinks provided and plenty of local knowledge on tap, all you need to bring is your sense of adventure (and maybe some sunscreen). So why wait? The canals are calling, and Fun in the Sun Charters is ready to show you the best of Marathon from the water. Book your spot today and get ready for a Keys experience you won't forget. Trust us, once you've seen Marathon from the canals, you'll never want to leave!
