About Us
Keys Maritime specialty bait and tackle shop in Marathon is a locally owned and operated company. Our store has been serving the Middle Keys since 2011, when we began as a delivery only business. Come check out our shop, or visit us on Facebook!
Since opening, it’s been our goal to be the best bait store in Marathon, FL. Our team is dedicated to making sure your Keys experience is full of hunting for spots, not locating supplies.
Find just what you need at our bait store
The bait we don’t catch ourselves is hand selected from local fisherman. Our fish are stored in large tanks and pens, fed daily, and handled as minimally as possible using specialty nets. Keys Maritime goes above and beyond to ensure your fish are pampered, with an ample amount of swimming room, until they makes their way to your buckets and live-wells!
The Seafood Market
At Keys Maritime, we really do baby our fish. We also have the largest variety of the highest quality live bait and frozen bait in the keys! Get skunked? We have seafood sourced from local fisherman to make those rainy days a little brighter. Located at 890 15th St. #3 right up the road from Castaways. Keys Maritime is your Marathon local seafood connection. We think we have the best bait Marathon has to offer. But don’t just take our word for it!
