Dock wisdom

·

Most reef and sunset boats leave from Boot Key Harbor, Marathon's protected working harbor.

·

Sombrero Reef is shallow and calm on light-wind mornings, the best window for first-time snorkelers.

·

Book reef trips a day ahead in winter high season and over lobster mini-season in late July.

·

The reef is a protected sanctuary preservation area, no anchoring on coral and no touching or taking anything.
