A Must-Do Experience in Marathon!
4 Hour – Boating Adventure (AM) on July 22, 2026 • 3 adults • 3 children

We had such an amazing time with Captain Larry in Marathon! He took my family and me out on his boat for a snorkeling trip, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our vacation. Larry was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. The snorkeling was incredible, and the entire experience from start to finish was so much fun. If you’re looking for a boat captain in Marathon, I highly recommend Larry! We would absolutely book with him again. Thank you for such an awesome and memorable day on the water! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very chill and fun trip
4 Hour – Boating Adventure (AM) on May 29, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

We had a great morning on the water with Captain Larry. He’s easygoing, personable, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. We never felt rushed, and he was fantastic with our family, including our three kids. When booking any charter, whether it’s fishing, snorkeling, or a sandbar trip, my top priority is finding the right captain, and Larry exceeded our expectations. He’s respectful, knowledgeable, and happy to share information about the area and the water if you’re interested, but he’s also great at reading the group and letting you relax, enjoy the scenery, and listen to some music if that’s more your style. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun and stress-free day on the water.

Amazing!!!
4 Hour – Boating Adventure (AM) on September 9, 2026 • 4 adults

We did a 4 hour trip and it was just perfect! starting of with 2 hours of snorkeling at Sombrerro reef, we saw 4 sea turtles, spotted ray, barracuda’s and much more. After that we went to a cool sandbank, it was beautiful. Larry was an amazing captain and gave a lot of information about everything. If we come back we will do it again!

Captain Larry is the BEST!
Amazing 2 Hour Sunset Cruise on June 13, 2026 • 5 adults

Captain Larry took our family out to the sandbar where we snorkeled. We went past the mangroves and to watch the sunset alongside the Seven Mile Bridge. He was so cool, took us where we wanted to go and let us crank up the tunes. It was really like hanging out with a buddy. Highly recommend Living Like Larry! We’ve already referred several people and we will call him when we come back! Larry - if you come to AZ, you have new friends here. Thank you for making our trip extraordinary!!
