Local Tips & Conditions

Marathon's waters offer some of the best snorkeling conditions in the Florida Keys, with protected areas that remain calm and clear throughout much of the year. May through September typically provides the warmest water temperatures (78-85°F) and best visibility. Morning trips often offer the calmest conditions before afternoon winds pick up. The Magnolia St Fishing Dock serves as our convenient departure point, with easy access to nearby snorkeling spots suitable for beginners and experienced swimmers alike. We recommend bringing sun protection, a towel, and a change of clothes. Don't worry about equipment – we provide quality masks, snorkels, fins, and flotation devices sized appropriately for all participants, ensuring a comfortable and safe experience for everyone in your group.

Plan Your Snorkeling Day

Your snorkeling adventure begins with a 10:00 AM departure from Magnolia St Fishing Dock, where you'll meet your guide, Sean Fagan. Plan to arrive 15-20 minutes early to get fitted for equipment and complete a brief orientation. The total experience lasts approximately 2 hours, with about an hour spent in the water exploring. This tour is genuinely family-friendly, accommodating children and adults of all swimming abilities – our guides are experienced in helping first-time snorkelers feel comfortable in the water. We recommend wearing swimwear under your clothes and bringing water, sunscreen, and a hat. Photography is welcomed and encouraged – the clear conditions often provide excellent underwater photo opportunities.
