Marathon · Florida Keys
Epic catches, family fun, zero fuss.
With four boats to choose from, we offer reef, wreck, offshore, tarpon and even lobster charters — for every group and every season.
Nestled in the heart of the Keys, Marathon is a
world-renowned fishing destination.
Captain Ben’s mission is simple: make your time on the water safe, relaxing, and a whole lot of fun!
Captain Ben knows these waters
Ben Zdan started Ben O’Fishal out of a lifelong love of fishing and years spent learning every reef, wreck and ledge around Marathon — and it shows in the kind of day he gives people on the water.
He’s also hand-picked a team of experienced local captains to run the fleet, so whichever boat you step aboard, you’re fishing with someone who knows exactly where they’re biting.
The Right Boat For Every Catch
