Operated by Fish 'N Fun Boat Rentals · Marathon, Florida
Set sail from Duck Key into the warm, clear waters of the Florida Keys on a two-day boat rental that turns a visit to Marathon into a flexible micro-expedition. Two Day Boat Rentals operates out of Fish 'n Fun Boat Rentals Duck Key marina in Marathon, Florida, offering a fleet of nimble center consoles and roomy deck boats—18' Century center consoles up to 25' Proline Super Sports with 115–250 HP—built for fishing, snorkeling, and island hopping. Pick up at 9am and return by 5pm each rental day; the two-day rhythm gives you long windows to reach nearshore reefs, shallow flats, and protected backcountry islands. The fleet comes outfitted with GPS, depth/fish finders, VHF radio, USCG safety gear, livewells, dive flags, gaffs, coolers, swim platforms and ladders; larger boats can be optioned with outriggers. Capacities range from six on the smaller center consoles to a dozen aboard the 24' Hurricane deck boat, so this rental suits families, anglers, and groups looking to explore tropical waters without charter crowds. Bring ID and the credit card used to reserve; if you were born after 1988 and plan to drive the boat you’ll need a Florida boater safety credential. What makes this rental stand out is its flexibility in the middle Keys. From Duck Key you can run to nearshore reefs and wrecks for snorkeling and reef fishing, fan out across seagrass flats hunting permit and bonefish, or cruise the calmer Hawk Channel for sunset views. The water here displays a clean gradient from aquamarine flats to the deep blue of the reef line, and pockets of staghorn and brain coral attract brightly colored parrotfish and wrasse—ideal for snorkelers and underwater photographers. Read weather and tide forecasts before launch; tides shape access to many shallow fishing grounds and sandbars. Safety briefings are handled at check-in; bring your own fishing or snorkel gear if you prefer familiar equipment. If you’re after destinations rather than a guided itinerary, the rental model rewards self-led exploration and local spontaneity—pull up to an ephemeral sandbar for a picnic, drop anchor at a quiet patch of reef, or set lines where the fish show on your depth finder. Two Day Boat Rentals is a practical choice for travelers seeking independence on the Keys’ marine playground—big enough boats to feel stable, small enough to find secret spots. Whether you want a full weekend of reef time or a family day darting between keys, this rental gives you the tools and time to write your own route on the water. Local staff offer route suggestions, nearby bait shops stock tackle, and fuel docks simplify logistics—plan fuel stops, pack sun protection, hydration, snacks, and an extra phone in a waterproof case for safety.
