When you stay with us during your Florida Keys vacations, one of our 19- to 21-foot guest boats is yours to
enjoy during your visit. If you wish, we'll arrange for a guide to show you the best fishing and diving spots or
you can find them on your own. Relax and enjoy, take time to reconnect, catch the fish of your dreams or explore
the underwater world of our corral reef. It's all possible when you stay at Captain Pip's Marina & Hideaway in
the beautiful Florida Keys
Things to do and places to go
Bahia Honda State Park – these beaches (on the ocean and bay side) are ranked among the top ten most beautiful
beaches in the U.S. crystal clear waters, soft sand and a remote location at the western point of the Seven Mile
Bridge – are well worth a visit.
Crane Point Hammock – 60 acres of tropical hardwood hammock exist as it did 300 years ago. The hammock is
similar in many ways to the tropical rainforest – a variety of species call the hammock home. This non-profit
Nature Center has touch tanks, interactive exhibits, a historic Bahamian house and a Wild Bird Rescue Center to
occupy the minds of both young and old.
Diving & Snorkeling – dive into the waters off Marathon and you’ll see the underwater equivalent of the
tropical rainforest. Four miles offshore, Sombrero Reef Light tower – a marine sanctuary -- straddles dramatic
coral formations that are home to parrotfish, angelfish, sergeant majors, yellowtail, lobster, crabs, and hundreds
of other species.
Dolphin Research Center – "Dolphin Encounter", a half-day program focuses on dolphin communication and includes
a hands-on session that gives you the opportunity to talk to and swim with the dolphins. And the Dolphin Splash,
half-hour program lets you swim with the dolphins.
