Located adjacent to the property is a boat launch and marina with lift service, fuel dock as well as indoor storage in case you wish to leave your boat in the Keys for your next trip! We have had several guests stay at Sea Forever, store their boat indoors then return a month or so later in the season. Their boat is stored close, safe and ready to go for their return arrival! Email us for more details and dockmaster info to the neighboring marina.

We know that boating and fishing in a new area can create a learning curve. Upon request, we will provide our guests with some coordinates and locations of terrific fishing spots and snorkel areas. Marathon and the surrounding waters offer some of the best sport fishing, reef snorkeling and wreck diving in the world. We want you to get your vacation going from the minute you arrive. We will shorten the learning curve and get you on the fish right away! Our fishing and boating guide will be an invaluable tool to the novice and those arriving for their first time. We just ask that you share photos of your catch with us!
