About Sombrero Reef
Welcome to Spirit Snorkeling!
Spirit Snorkeling of Marathon – provide daily snorkel trips to Sombrero Reef. Specializing in families, our friendly crew will take you on a fun filled adventure to the either the Sombrero Reef Marine Sanctuary and Lighthouse. Trip destination is at the discretion of the Captain, due to winds and will be decided the morning of the trip. Marathon, Key Largo, Islamorada and Key West have some of the most beautiful coral reefs in the Florida Keys.
Sombrero Reef is the third largest barrier reef in the world and this beautiful 30 acre coral reef ranges from 2–30 feet deep with thousands of tropical fish. The Sombrero Lighthouse was built before the Civil War and today still helps mariners navigate the Keys. 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 under water areas.
