Great Day on the Water - We had a great time on our Sandbar trip with Marathon Mermaid! We had a very windy week in the keys and some of our excursions with other companies were canceled. We were so happy to be able to go on our sandbar trip on the Mermaid. Although the wind prevented us from reaching the usual sandbar, the captain found us a great spot to anchor for swimming and snorkeling! Captain Dawn and Brandon were awesome! They ensured everyone had a a great time and they also ensured our safety. We listened to music and had yummy snacks and drinks which were provided. We even had a dance party on the way back to the dock. Our trip with Marathon Mermaid was the best way to end our week in the Keys! I would absolutely book another trip with Dawn and Brandon on Marathon Mermaid!
