Marathon Snorkel & Sandbar Adventure

Use these answers to plan your visit, compare options, and feel confident before booking.

While you may see a small variety of marine life while snorkeling at the beach, just going 4-5 nautical miles offshore, you can see so much more! There is a vast variety of marine life as well as corals that can only be found at the reef. You will also enjoy up-close views of the iconic 142’ Tall Sombrero Lighthouse.

No, there are no showers nor freshwater rinse off on the vessel.

No, there are no bathrooms onboard.

Yes. We do not require you to participate in snorkeling although the ticket price is the same for everyone.

No, we do not serve food on this trip.

Yes, snacks and small food items are permitted. Large coolers, food platters and glass containers are strictly prohibited.

No, only non-alcoholic drinks of soda and water are included.

No, guests cannot consume any alcoholic refreshments during water activities. We recommend the Marathon 7 Mile Bridge Sunset Cruise for B.Y.O.B.

Yes, the Snorkel & Sandbar Adventure is great for all ages.

Yes. Fury will provide you with snorkel instruction and equipment, but you must know how to swim to participate in any snorkel adventure. We take you about 4-5 miles offshore of Marathon and once in the ocean, there will not be a place for you to touch or stand, while snorkeling. All guests are required to wear buoyancy compensator vests for their safety. Fury crew is present to assist in an emergency, but will not be able to solely attend one party for the duration of the trip. For those unable to swim, we suggest booking our Marathon 7 Mile Bridge Sunset Cruise (or visiting us in Key West to parasail, take the Glass Bottom Boat or Jet Ski Tour). Guests are also always welcome to relax and enjoy the views from aboard the vessel during the snorkel portion of any tour. All participants must sign a liability waiver to participate in snorkeling and other adventures.

Guests can jump off the boat into the water or use the ladder.

Yes, but the space is limited in the shaded areas.

Normally, we visit Sombrero Reef on the snorkeling tours. If conditions at Sombrero Reef do not permit us to visit the reef, you will enjoy extra time at Molasses Key.

Occasionally we will spot wild dolphins, but they do not frequent the areas we visit for the Marathon Tours. We highly recommend visiting us in Key West for the Dolphin Watch & Snorkel, if viewing wild dolphins is on your bucket list.

Coral reef snorkeling features deeper water exploration of coral heads and large schools of tropical fish, whereas snorkeling at the sandbar snorkel area is calmer, shallower and features a sandy bottom with various rocks, crustaceans and smaller fish.

Reef Safe sunscreen is required to protect the coral reef and must not contain chemicals like oxybenzone or octinoxate. While “biodegradable” refers to how the product breaks down, true reef protection requires mineral-based active ingredients like Non-Nano Zinc or Titanium Dioxide, which we provide complimentary on all snorkeling trips.

Blue Star certified operators are recognized by the NOAA and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary for their superior commitment to reef conservation and education. While standard tours provide access to the water, Fury’s Blue Star status means our crew undergoes continuing education to promote sustainable diving and snorkeling practices that reduce the impact on the Florida Keys’ delicate ecosystem.
