General information only
This guide helps you plan a visit and nothing more. It is not legal, financial, boating or real estate advice for your situation. For a decision about buying or selling property, talk to a licensed professional.
Things change after we check them
Each fact shows when we read it. After that date the City of Marathon, FWC, Florida State Parks, the Sanctuary, an attraction or an event organizer may change a season, an hour, a fee, a date or a rule. Confirm what matters before you rely on it, and read the current FWC rules before every fishing trip.
Storms and conditions on the water
A tropical storm or hurricane can shut beaches, ramps, the water and the Overseas Highway quickly. Follow Monroe County Emergency Management, the City of Marathon and the National Weather Service, and make your own call about wind, sea state and tide. This site does not replace any official warning.
Outside links
We link to the agencies and businesses behind the facts we quote. Their sites are their responsibility, not ours.

Dates, rules and hours can change. The organisers have the final word: City of Marathon (official site)
