Sandbar Escape – Tarpon Creek

At Marina Marathon at Tarpon Creek

Lauren and Michelle were amazing! So much fun. Enjoyed snorkeling and the sandbar. Lauren and Michelle were very friendly and made this experience a great one. Highly recommend!
What a fun experience!
Captains Chelsea & Jody were very professional, courteous, and made the trip a great time. It was a pleasant short trip to the sandbar and we had about 1 1/2 hours in the water. The water was waist deep, easy to walk around or swim in. We tried snorkeling which was pretty easy in the shallow water and saw a few fish close up. Our group included small
children up to seniors (us). I would not hesitate to take this trip again, both the experience and the cost were well worth it.
Captain and crew were amazing, the reef was beautiful, and the sandbar was the perfect end!
Our family had a wonderful time at the reef and sandbar! We especially appreciated that they offered to rebook us from a chilly windy morning to the afternoon. Staff were friendly and helpful!
It was a fun outing. The crew were very patient and accommodating and gave everybody more than enough time to enjoy the snorkeling and sandbar. I would do it again without hesitation!
So friendly, knowledgeable, patient, kind, and helpful. I highly recommend taking the smooth ride out to the sandbar with this crew!
We had a blast with Matt and Jen on the snorkel and sandbar adventure. They are very knowledgeable about the ‘habitat’ and safety is very important to them! We’d recommend them for fun for all ages! We learned and had fun!
We had an amazing day today! Great crew, sorry I can't remember their names. We all enjoyed the coral reef and sandbar. Verry professional, knowledgeable and comical. This family of four would highly recommend.
