Shane and his crew have built a solid reputation for making boat and watercraft rentals genuinely enjoyable in the Marathon area. Families consistently highlight the spacious, well-maintained boats, and guides like Dave and Jason bring real local knowledge to the experience, pointing out sandbars, snorkeling spots, and marine life encounters that turn a simple rental into something memorable. The jet ski tours in particular have earned some enthusiastic reviews, with dolphin and manatee sightings adding to the excitement. That said, a handful of reviewers have experienced last-minute cancellations due to boats being out of service, which is worth keeping in mind when planning around a tight schedule. These situations appear to be mechanical or availability-related rather than the norm, and most customers describe the overall process as smooth and stress-free. If flexibility is important to your trip, it may be worth confirming your booking closer to the date. For families or groups looking to explore the Keys from the water, this is a well-regarded option with knowledgeable, personable staff who genuinely seem invested in making the day a good one.
We had an amazing time thanks to Paradise watersports! We booked the 22' sea hunt and it gave us the ability to do exactly what we wanted to do. Big shout out to Will and Ray for being knowledgeable and easy going. They both made sure all our questions were answered and gave us great advice on where to go for good snorkeling spots. If your looking to rent a boat while you're in or around Marathon or Grassy key you should check this place out. We will be back!
