Marathon/Key West

Myself, the wife, and another couple are planning a long weekend in the Keys (31 July - 4 Aug). We are going to fly into Ft. Lauderdale and rent a car and drive south. We are looking at staying in Marathon or Key West proper. Any advice on lodging and tarpon charters would be greatly appreciated.

Have never stayed here, usually stay in Islamorada…however we took a quick look last year. This place has 2 or 3 locations in Marathon and includes a marina and boat rentals…looks pretty nice to me. I am sure they have guides that can pick u up at your condo or rent a boat, the condo’s have boat slips.

reelly…

My wife and I went here in 2005:

It was GREAT! Boat in the back yard, easy out/in from dock to fishing and diving… GREAT couple running the place. And it was in the middle of all the good restaurants and bars. ENJOY!

This is a nice place with a small marina next door and less than a half mile from the Seven Mile Bridge and across the hwy from The Tackle Box.

I’d rather fish than eat.
