Marathon sits in the heart of the Florida Keys, a string of islands roughly midway between Key Largo and Key West. It is a working fishing town as much as a resort area, with charter captains, commercial boats and marinas filling Boot Key Harbor and the bayside canals. The flats, reefs and offshore waters put tarpon, bonefish, permit, snapper and mahi all within reach, and many visitors plan an entire trip around the bite.

Families come for the slower pace, Sombrero Beach, the Turtle Hospital and the Dolphin Research Center, and Marathon makes a good base for exploring both the Upper and Lower Keys. Many homeowners are seasonal, arriving from the Northeast and Midwest each winter. The drive from Miami down US 1 is long, and a single accident on the Overseas Highway can bring traffic to a standstill; flying privately avoids that uncertainty and lets you be on the water the same day you leave home. A charter in a Cirrus means one price for the whole airplane, which suits a fishing party or a family heading to the house.

When to go. Winter and spring, from December through April, bring dry, breezy weather and the Middle Keys' busiest season. Tarpon fishing peaks from about April through June, drawing anglers from around the world.
