MARATHON SNORKELING TOURS




Would you like to enjoy a day snorkeling on the most famous part of the third
largest barrier reef in the world? Join the fun and friendly crew at Starfish
Marathon Snorkeling Tours for a day trip to magnificent Sombrero Reef, where you

underwater paradise.

We will make your Marathon snorkeling adventure comfortable, exciting, and
unforgettable aboard our shaded catamaran, outfitted with a freshwater shower
and concessions. We offer a family-friendly environment suitable for all ages,
and we even include your snorkeling gear. Join one of our snorkel tours in
Marathon and discover one of Florida’s most hidden natural jewels.




MARATHON SNORKELING TOURS ON BOARD ‘THE STARFISH’


 * Sombrero Reef National Marine Sanctuary and Lighthouse is the #1 rated spot
   to snorkel in the Florida Keys
 * We offer a safe and spacious boat environment for our snorkel tours in
   Marathon
 * The Sombrero Reef is a spectacular 30 acre garden of colorful living boulder
   and branching corals
 * Our Marathon snorkel crew will go out of their way to make your excursion
   unforgettable
 * Family friendly – riders welcome – snorkeling gear included – Join us when
   you visit Marathon
 * U.S. Coast Guard certified and inspected vessel with the capacity to carry 49
   passengers

The planet’s great barrier reefs are world renowned for their colorful corals
and teeming underwater wildlife. Sombrero reef is alive with activity – a
submerged tropical paradise where angelfish glide among the living branches of
pristine staghorn coral. Because the entire area is protected, large grouper and
snapper thrive in the deep, while stingrays take wing overhead as though flying
through the current.

At Starfish Marathon Snorkeling Tours we place you front-and-center in the
action while ensuring that your ride on our custom catamaran is safe and
comfortable. We don’t allow coolers or scuba gear on our Marathon snorkel tours
because we want our guests to be able to move freely on deck without worrying
about falling over obstructions or stubbing their toes. Our vessel is entirely
covered so everyone on board is protected from the unforgiving Florida sun.

Bring your entire family on one of our fun-filled Marathon snorkel tours. See
one of the planet’s most magnificent barrier reefs with your own eyes, and enjoy
a wonderland of sights and sounds.




MARATHON SNORKELING TOURS AT WORLD-FAMOUS SOMBRERO REEF



People travel from all over the world to snorkel in the Florida Keys. No
snorkeling destination in the region is more famous than Marathon’s own Sombrero
Reef, and with good reason. The 30 acre reef is thriving, and filled with
incredible coral formations and massive schools of neon-colored tropical fish.

One of the reasons so many people join us on our snorkel adventures in Marathon
is because Sombrero Reef is only 2 to 30 feet deep, so it can be thoroughly
enjoyed without any fancy diving gear. Located in the Atlantic Ocean only six
miles from Marathon’s shores, it’s easy to access and makes for an enjoyable
ride where dolphins, turtles, and stingrays are often spotted en route.




MARATHON SNORKEL TOURS



We urge all of our snorkeling guests to be aware of the rules that govern the
reef, so that this treasure can be enjoyed by future generations. Coral is a
living animal, and the clicking sounds you hear while snorkeling is the
multitude of wildlife feeding in, around, and on the coral itself. Enjoy your
snorkel adventure, but remember these basic rules:

 * NEVER stand on the coral while snorkeling
 * Use the buddy system – snorkel with a partner
 * Swimming is a prerequisite for this activity – if you can not swim, ride
   along passengers are welcome
 * Do not touch or take coral – it is against the law
 * Weight restrictions apply: Maximum 275 pounds per USCG Title-46 Code of
   Federal Regulations 178.330
 * Other restrictions: No coolers please and no spray sun lotion onboard
 * There are no age restrictions. Please purchase tickets for all passengers,
   including riders

Information About Our Marathon Snorkeling Vessel – The Starfish

We keep our boat obstruction-free so all of our passengers, both large and
small, can fully enjoy their Marathon snorkel adventure. We operate three
snorkeling trips throughout the season, so that you can choose a time of day
that best suits your lifestyle.

The Starfish is a spacious, fully covered, luxuriously powered catamaran with a
freshwater shower and a shaded lounging area. Your snorkeling gear is provided,
but we also offer the following extras for your comfort and enjoyment:

 * Underwater cameras
 * Prescription mask rental (nearsighted only)
 * Wetsuit Rental
 * Earplugs
 * New mouthpieces
 * Sun lotion
 * Motion sickness tablets
 * Refreshments

We do not allow spray-on lotions of any kind on our Marathon snorkeling tours.
The reason is because the overspray from these aerosols cause the deck to get
slippery, and we don’t want an injury to ruin anyone’s snorkeling trip. This is
also why we do not allow coolers or scuba gear onboard, because we want plenty
of room for adults and kids to be able to fully utilize the deck.










WOULD YOU LIKE TO INQUIRE ABOUT OUR SPECIALTY CRUISES?



We proudly make The Starfish available for private Marathon charters, so that
you and your friends, family, or business associates can enjoy the Sunshine
Coast on your own terms. We’ve handled private marathon charters for:

 * Weddings
 * Birthdays
 * Corporate events
 * Special occasions

While snorkeling is definitely our passion, your charter can focus on dolphin
watching, a sunset cruise, or even a memorable picnic on an uninhabited island.
If you have any questions about private Marathon charters, contact us to find
out more information.





A FEW OTHER WORDS ABOUT OUR MARATHON SNORKEL TOURS

happens, we take you to one of our other prime Marathon snorkeling destinations

   utilized based on real-time conditions, a 24-hour cancellation policy applies
