About:
Offshore fishing in Marathon Florida Keys targets pelagic game fish such as dolphins, wahoo, and tuna. Offshore deep sea fishing in Marathon Florida Keys offers hard-fighting fish to challenge even the most hard-core anglers!
Much of this fishing is done in the Gulf Stream, which wobbles offshore of Marathon anywhere from 10 to 30 miles.
Because of the distance we have to travel - anywhere from 10 to 30-plus miles - an offshore fishing trip requires a minimum of a partial day charter.
