A Must-Do Experience in Marathon!
4 Hour – Boating Adventure (AM) on July 22, 20263 adults3 children

We had such an amazing time with Captain Larry in Marathon! He took my family and me out on his boat for a snorkeling trip, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our vacation. Larry was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. The snorkeling was incredible, and the entire experience from start to finish was so much fun. If you’re looking for a boat captain in Marathon, I highly recommend Larry! We would absolutely book with him again. Thank you for such an awesome and memorable day on the water! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very chill and fun trip
4 Hour – Boating Adventure (AM) on May 29, 20263 adults2 children

We had a great morning on the water with Captain Larry. He’s easygoing, personable, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. We never felt rushed, and he was fantastic with our family, including our three kids. When booking any charter, whether it’s fishing, snorkeling, or a sandbar trip, my top priority is finding the right captain, and Larry exceeded our expectations. He’s respectful, knowledgeable, and happy to share information about the area and the water if you’re interested, but he’s also great at reading the group and letting you relax, enjoy the scenery, and listen to some music if that’s more your style. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun and stress-free day on the water.

Perfect Sunset Cruise
Amazing 2 Hour Sunset Cruise on March 28, 20262 adults2 children

When choosing a charter, Captain Larry had great reviews based upon the experience he provides, and he definitely delivered for our family. We booked a two hour sunset cruise on the last evening of our Keys vacation, and mistakenly booked the wrong date (our travel day) - no problem, after arriving and realizing our mixup, Larry was willing and able to drop his plans and meet us within ten minutes, which says a lot! We quickly got settled and were off for a quiet cruise through the back bay and channels following a Dolphin and checking out the sites. We cruised the coast line to the 7 mile bridge then setup for sunset views. The family was comfortable as was the service. We cruised back in another route past the many now lit up sailboats and shoreline. Payment was easy and we’d definitely book with Captain Larry again!

Sandbar Finds, Manatees & an Unforgettable Charter
4 Hour – Boating Adventure (PM) on March 25, 20264 adults

If you’re heading to the Florida Keys and not booking a day on the water with Living Like Larry, you’re doing it wrong. We had an absolutely perfect afternoon, the kind you hope for but rarely get. Cruised out to a beautiful sandbar, found an incredible conch shell, spotted manatees up close, and just soaked in everything that makes the Keys special. Larry knows these waters inside and out. No crowds, no stress. Just a laid-back, customized experience that felt like we had the Keys to ourselves. Exactly what you want on vacation. If you’re looking for a private charter that delivers more than just a boat ride, this is it. Can’t recommend it enough. We’ll be booking again next time without hesitation. P.S. Larry’s music selection was on point and really helped set the perfect vibe for the entire trip.

Captain Larry is THE BEST!
4 Hour – Boating Adventure (PM) on March 23, 20264 adults1 child

We had the best day with Larry today! This is our second year in a row with Larry out on the water in Marathon. He is beyond knowledgeable, super accommodating, and will do whatever he can to make sure you’re enjoying yourself. He is the nicest man and so easy to chat with. You can tell he genuinely loves his job and showing people a good time. We weren’t even out of the parking lot when we had already started talking about booking with Larry again next year again for our third trip with him. Thank you so much Larry for making our vacation even more special. We really appreciate you! 🐠☀️
