Experience Thrilling Shark Cage Diving
Dive with sharks in beautiful Marathon, Florida!
Dive with sharks in beautiful Marathon, Florida!
At Key Shark Cage Adventures, we offer unforgettable shark cage diving experiences right off the coast of Marathon, Florida. Join us for an exhilarating encounter with some of the ocean's most majestic creatures in their natural habitat.
Our shark dive adventures are the culmination of many years of working on the water. We sail from Key Marathon on our vessel Fins, which has been outfitted to run at speed with our super strong, custom built cage. The cage comfortably holds two at a time and the entry and exit of the cage has been designed to easily provide access by everyone. If you’re not comfortable in the cage, the view from the cockpit is also spectacular. Most who begin watching from the cockpit quickly see how exciting and safe the cage is and find themselves venturing into it before the trip has ended. You do not have to have any experience as a diver to fully enjoy the beauty of sharks since it is a surface shark cage. Whether you are a local or are on vacation, our shark cage tours allow for you to become part of the majestic ocean and it’s habitants. It is common to observe dolphins, turtles and other marine life while on these excursions.
Upon arriving on location after only a few miles of traveling along the sparkling Floridian waters, the captain will chum the water to attract the sharks and other marine life to the vessel. We bring these powerful creatures right to the boat which provides a spectacular close up view by all. The types of sharks you may encounter are hammerhead, bull, lemon, tiger, blacktip, and nurse, just to name a few. Please feel free to bring your own photography and/or videography so you can capture this once in a lifetime experience. We recommend that you bring a change of clothes. You may want to pack snacks/drinks, a hat, sunblock and if you have any of your own snorkeling gear you are welcome to bring it along.
The shark viewing and sunset cruise will have different sail times due to the changing times for sunset.

Shark & Ray viewing tours are perfect for families, friends, and groups that would like to observe the ocean’s apex predators without going in the water. Whether you are a local or are on vacation, our shark viewing tours bring a new perspective to sea life compared to viewing from land. It is common to observe dolphins, turtles and other marine life while on these excursions.
We bring these powerful creatures right to the boat which provides a spectacular close-up view by all. Upon arriving on location after only a few miles of traveling along the sparkling Floridian waters, the captain will chum the water to attract the sharks and other marine life to the vessel. A larger baitfish will be attached to a (hookless) line to allow for a unique viewing experience of the sharks chomping down on their prey. The types of sharks that you may encounter are tigers, makos, bulls, reef, hammerheads, and blues. If yourself or one of your party would like to “wet a line” and catch some dinner, you are more than welcome to.
After all the excitement from interacting with the sharks, we complete the trip with a slow sunset cruise. We will strategically position the boat you take in the full beauty of a “ postcard perfect” Florida Keys sunset from the water. Be sure to look for the green flash as the sun sets below the horizon. Please feel free to bring your own photography and/or videography so you can capture this once in a lifetime experience. Full Day Charters are available upon request.
