    Our family of four had an amazing time on the Sandbar Adventure! We booked the Friday, July 3rd afternoon trip using the Bluegreen discount, and everything exceeded our expectations. The Captain and First Mate were both friendly, professional, and very clear when explaining the safety procedures and how the trip would work. We arrived at the sandbar quickly and comfortably, and the water was absolutely beautiful. Marathon Mermaid Charters provided plenty of fun activities, including paddleboards, kayaks, pool noodles, and more, so there was always something to do. They also offered complimentary snacks and beverages, which was a nice touch. Overall, we had a fantastic experience from start to finish with no complaints. We would absolutely book with Marathon Mermaid Charters again and highly recommend them to anyone visiting the Florida Keys!
