Sea Dog Charters is a Purcell family fishing operation in Marathon. It offers private outings and shared charters, giving guests a choice between reserving a whole boat and joining other anglers. The advertised trips cover reef, wreck and offshore fishing as well as selected specialty outings.

Contact and booking details

Boats and larger groups

The website describes shaded boats with marine toilets and two inspected vessels able to carry up to twenty passengers. Actual capacity depends on the boat and trip. Confirm the expected number of anglers on a shared outing and how fishing positions are arranged.

Choosing your fishing

Reef and wreck trips are promoted for families and newer anglers. Other advertised options include offshore sportfishing, bay fishing, sharks and tarpon. Tell the office your preferred experience, since a shared reef trip and a private specialty charter follow different plans.

Included services

The business lists captain and mate, bait, tackle, fishing-license coverage and fish filleting as supplied. Ask about food, drinks, ice and gratuity when booking. Bring sun protection and comfortable shoes, and confirm any age or mobility considerations before arrival.

Rates and reservations

A prominent fare on the site is explicitly dated March 2022, so it should not be treated as a current price. Call for today’s shared or private rate, departure schedule and cancellation policy. Confirm which boat and dock apply to your reservation.

Details checked September 29, 2026, using the operator’s published information. Rates, boats, meeting points and policies can change; confirm the final trip details directly. Listed species describe possible targets, not a guaranteed catch or an open harvest season.
