Island Girls Excursions
For all ages! • 4 Hours • 53' Catamaran • Onboard Wifi
Island Girls Excursions is a Marathon, Florida-based charter operator using a 53’ spacious catamaran to deliver small-group outings throughout the Florida Keys.
The company offers two signature experiences: the Sunset Tour and the Sandbar Tour. The Sunset Tour sails guests on a scenic evening cruise to watch the sky transform while sipping a drink and feeling the gentle sea breeze. The Sandbar Tour navigates to a shallow Florida Keys sandbar where guests relax on floats, paddle board, and enjoy turquoise water and island music.
Based in Marathon, Island Girls Excursions focuses on short, approachable trips that showcase classic Florida Keys scenery and relaxed onboard service. Each trip description highlights clear activities and what guests should expect: sunset views from a stable 53’ catamaran, beverage-friendly cruising, sandbar access, paddle boarding, and time to unwind on the water. These factual details help visitors choose the right outing for their schedule and preferences.
Island Girls Excursions is featured on The Adventure Collective, providing an external reference point for travelers researching Florida Keys excursions. The business lists Marathon, Florida as its home port and advertises departures aboard the same 53’ catamaran used on both featured tours. Photographs and trip summaries available through listing pages show the vessel, sunset vistas, and sandbar settings to help prospective guests make informed booking decisions.
Booking details, schedules, and contact information are available on the Adventure Collective listing and associated online listings to help guests confirm availability, departure points, and any trip-specific requirements before booking and plan logistics ahead.
