FINEST KIND
Come fish with a true Keys Legend “Captain Donnie Braswell”.
In Marathon all you have to do is say Donnie - all the locals know who you are talking about. He’s been in the Heart
of Florida Keys in the charter boat business for over 40 years. To fish with Donnie is to hear about the Keys the “way
it used to be”. To drive across the old, narrow Seven Mile Bridge and lose your side mirror to an oncoming eighteen
wheeler. To hear about losing a 150 pound tarpon to the legendary 20 foot hammerhead shark named “Big Mo”. To
hear about the guys in the 70’s who made a living picking up bales of dope out of the mangroves. Or to hear about air
boating in the Florida Everglades, hunting in Africa or having dinner with the President. You get to fish with a Keys Original - the last of the
Old Time Guides. You get to have a “helluva” good time and you get to catch fish. There is no better way to experience
the Florida Keys water than with Captain Donnie on the Finest Kind.

305-289-0614
Spirit Snorkeling of Marathon, Florida has the best activities and things to do for any vacationer visiting
the Florida Keys! Our sites are a Must See! Just off the coast
of the Florida Keys is the third largest barrier reef in the world and Sombrero Reef Marine Sanctuary is the #1 rated snorkel trip in the Keys! Visit
Sombrero Reef & Lighthouse aboard our comfortable stable, Power Catamaran. You will enjoy exploring this 30 acre coral reef - it's
from 2 – 30 feet deep with thousands of tropical fish. Sombrero Lighthouse was built before the Civil War and today still helps
mariners navigate the Keys with its light. Coral reefs are among the most biologically diverse ecosystems on earth. They
are second only to the tropical rain forests in the number of species they harbor, and indeed are sometimes called “The Rain Forests of the Sea”. You haven’t really seen the Keys until you’ve seen our
reefs. Even sightseers enjoy this trip as many species can be seen from the boat. We take no scuba divers, we only go to shallow water snorkeling locations and Back Water Eco-Tours.
