Island Sunset Cruise Marathon Florida: 2-Hour Catamaran Tour

Champagne and open water as the sky turns gold over the Keys

A two-hour sunset catamaran cruise in Marathon, Florida takes you past the Seven Mile Bridge and through Boot Key Harbor aboard a 53-foot boat with a live English-speaking guide. The tour includes a complimentary champagne toast, cooler stocked with ice and water, shaded deck seating, and an onboard restroom. Bring canned beverages if you'd like to add to the bar.

Step-by-step itinerary

Sunset cruise around Marathon

• Board the 53’ catamaran
• Cruise past Seven Mile Bridge
• Pass calm channels and small islands
• Enjoy sunset views on deck
• Sip complimentary champagne toast

The experience

The boat leaves at golden hour, timing the cruise so the sun drops while you're on the water. You'll pass the historic Seven Mile Bridge (one of the most recognizable landmarks in the Keys) with wide-open ocean views as the backdrop, then move through the calm channels around Marathon and the small islands that frame Boot Key Harbor. The catamaran carries enough seating and shaded areas that you're not fighting for a spot, and the crew handles the navigation while you watch the light change.

The champagne toast arrives as the colors peak, and the cooler stays stocked with ice, water, and soda throughout. An onboard restroom means you don't have to plan around that detail. If you bring your own drinks, they need to be in cans: no glass on the water. Snacks are provided, and the whole thing runs two hours, which is long enough to feel unhurried but short enough to fit into an evening without eating your whole night.

What's the Seven Mile Bridge like from the water?

The Seven Mile Bridge is one of the most iconic landmarks in the Florida Keys, and the catamaran passes close enough that you get wide-open ocean views with the bridge as your backdrop as the sun begins to set: a natural focal point for photos and the kind of landmark most visitors want to see from the water.

Can I bring my own drinks on the cruise?

Yes, you can bring your own beverages, but they must be in cans only. Glass containers are not permitted on the boat.

Is there shade on the deck?

The catamaran has plenty of shaded areas on deck, so you're not sitting in direct sun the whole time, and there's enough seating that everyone has a place to settle.

What happens if I need a restroom during the cruise?

An onboard restroom is available throughout the two-hour tour, so you don't have to plan around that.

Is this tour wheelchair accessible?

Yes, the catamaran is wheelchair accessible, and all areas and surfaces on the boat are accessible. Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller, and service animals are allowed.
