About
Great Rental Boat for Duck Key, Marathon & Key Colony Divers, Anglers, and Large Groups This rental boat is perfect for diving or fishing the local waters of Marathon, including the nearby Hawks Cay and Duck Key, and Key Colony as well. Because of its size and the added security of twin motors, it is the boat we rent most often for larger groups who want to go offshore. It’s well-equipped for both diving and fishing, but of course it’s perfect for any on-the-water activity you and your guests want to enjoy, especially if room or speed are what you want.
We have a decommissioned Ft Lauderdale Police boat with twin 150 Yamahas and a residential 26 whaler “Just Lookin”. The 26 Boston whaler has plenty of speed to get you where you want fast, and a nice fuel efficient cruise out to the reef and back with the least amount of fuel burn.
The 26 Twin rental boat has the optional dive door package which makes it a favorite for large parties of divers, there is plenty of seating throughout the boat and a Coast Guard capacity of 14 although we only recommend 10 passengers for the maximum limit.
If you want a boat that can carry a lot of people, or just a great looking stable platform to dive or fish off, the 26 twin is one of the best rental boats that you will find in our area.
