🌴 Hennessy Sportfishing – Sandbar, Snorkel, Sunset & Island Tours in Marathon, FL
Looking to experience more than just fishing in the Florida Keys? Hennessy Sportfishing offers a lineup of fun, flexible, and private boat tours perfect for families, couples, and groups. Whether you want to snorkel the reefs, explore a historic island, chill at a sandbar, or watch the sun dip into the ocean, we’ve got the perfect charter for you.

🐠 Snorkel the Reefs & Sandbar Combo
Start your trip snorkeling vibrant coral reefs teeming with tropical fish, then unwind at a nearby sandbar on the way back. Relax on our floating sunchill, paddle around on boards, or simply soak up the sunshine in crystal-clear water. Snorkel gear is not provided but is easy to rent locally.

🏝️ Sandbar Chill Session
Cruise out to one of Marathon’s iconic shallow sandbars for the ultimate Keys hangout. Bring your own drinks and float your stress away on our massive sunchill or explore the clear shallows on paddleboards. Perfect for families, birthday groups, and anyone looking to unwind in paradise.

🐬 Pigeon Key Island Charter
Swim, snorkel, and explore this charming island, then relax in the sun. Great for all ages.

🐟 Reef Snorkel Adventure
We’ll take you to some of the best snorkeling spots in Marathon, where you can explore colorful corals and spot reef fish, rays, and maybe even a sea turtle. You’ll snorkel directly from the sunchill float for a super comfortable and fun experience.

🌅 Sunset Cruise
Wrap up your day on the water with a peaceful sunset cruise. Bring your favorite drinks and snacks and toast to another beautiful Florida Keys day as the sun dips below the horizon. Keep your eyes peeled—dolphins, turtles, and sea birds often make a final appearance

🍴 Island Lunch Stop (Optional Add-On)
Upgrade your trip with a waterfront lunch stop at a local dock-and-dine restaurant.

**Please note: Snorkel gear is not provided, but you can rent it locally before your trip.

Coffins Patch Snorkel & Sandbar *PM on August 21, 20255 adults
Our family had the absolute best experience with Captain Deez and Todd on our recent charter! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. We went out snorkeling in the most beautiful, clear water — the kids (and adults!) were amazed by all the sea life we got to see. As if that wasn’t enough, we were lucky enough to spot dolphins swimming right near the boat — such a magical moment! Captain Deez and Todd were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was safe, comfortable, and having fun. The paddle boarding was a blast, especially for the teens, and the overall vibe was laid-back, yet super professional. This trip was the highlight of our vacation, and we’re already talking about coming back next year to do it again. If you’re thinking about booking a charter — stop thinking and just do it. You won’t regret it! Thank you, Captain Deez and Todd, for a day we’ll never forget!

Snorkel, Sandbar & Eco Tour (PM) on July 27, 20254 adults
Captain Kerry was so helpful! He called 2 days before the trip to answer any questions we had and let us know we’d have Capt Dez to make our day fun. Kerry followed up to the phone call with a text giving the best place to rent snorkeling gear and all the best food spots Marathon has to offer. Dez was extremely professional and accommodating. Before we even boarded the boat he asked what we wanted out of the trip and what we wanted to see. At each stop he gave a brief of where we were going next, he made calls to restaurants to ask about daily specials for us, and played great music. Our ultimate goal was to see a manatee, and Dez made sure he found us one! The experience was very personalized. While we took a leisure boat tour, I would trust Kerry and Dez for a day of sport fishing as well. Definitely one of the highlights of our girls trip!

Lovely trip to Sombrero reef and sandbar. Safe and fun. Marie is a lifeguard and teacher. Kerry was super friendly and kind. He treated my young daughter to a great time, making her first experience extra special. She got to swim with Kerry and tag along on his back at the reef. So mom and dad could hang out. He took her for a paddle board ride too! So sweet. Marie took aerial photography of us at the reef, too!

Coffins Patch Sandbar & Snorkel *AM on July 4, 20252 adults1 child
We had an amazing trip with Kerry. He brought us to a reef to snorkel and out to a sand bar. Had a sun chill and stand up paddle board. He was knowledgeable and knew the best spots to go to. Next time we are down we will be fishing with him. Cannot recommend him enough if you are looking to fish, sparkle, or hang out at the sandbar.
