While staying on Long Boat Key, we decided to fly to Key West for the day. Our plans changed because of unexpected low clouds, only there, on an otherwise perfect VFR day. Landing in Marathon instead, we found everyone at Marathon General Aviation to be very friendly, kind, and helpful. Jacob suggested lunch at the Island Fish Co. and gave us a ride. Thanks to Jacob, Julie, and George our first taste of the Keys was very memorable and fun.

Stopped At MTH enroute from Fort Lauderdale to Key West with a flaky radio problem. Everyone was supremely helpful and we elected to scratch EYW and have lunch here. They drove us to a great place at the far opposite end of Marathon and back. Plane was fueled and ready when we got back. Nice facility, nicer people will make this a regular stop. And special thanks to the lovely Virginia :)

Flew in Sunday with a friend in a rented C172 from Miami. The people at this FBO are great! They did not have any tie downs available, but they gave us a place to park for a couple hours. Al gave us a ride to a great restaurant down the street and picked us up after. When we got back, fuel was topped off and we were on our way. Even when they are a little bit busy, there is good service here. There is also a pretty decent flight planning room/pilot lounge so you can check on the unpredictable Florida weather. The service here is MUCH better than Key West.

First visit was on June 13, 2011. Everyone we interacted with was terrific! Thanks to Jacob and Chris (sp?) for transportation to lunch and back at the Island Tiki Restaurant. A very friendly airport reached after a beautiful flight along US-1.

Down home people with superior service. Would not be ashamed to call this my "home airport!" They treat you like family.

Our first visit to Marathon was a perfect experience! We flew in to have lunch at the Island Grill restaurant. Upon arrival, we were promptly ushered to the parking area by staff at Marathon GA Center. Complimentary Shuttle driver Al was extremely accommodating and drove us to the restaurant without any question. He gave us pointers for future visits and his business card with cell to call for pickup after lunch. When we arrived back at the GA Center, our plane was fueled and ready to go. Everyone at the center was very hospitable and we will definitely be back. Thanks for making our maiden voyage to Marathon the perfect experience!

I feel like home every time that I go there. Virginia, Alvaro, Jacob and George make the perfect team. Always great service and nice facilities. This little FBO is the perfect example for the rest of the big chains or big FBO's to how to make peoples happy. They are always there to help you to make your stop pleasant. I do recommend this place to everyone that will go to the keys for a quick stop or for vacations. Thanks all of you guys in Marathon General Aviation for all your help and support for the last 2 years and many more to come. Keep it doing business this way, that’s the way to do it!!!

As the other testimonials suggest, I also echo the same wonderful comments about MGA. Having visited a few FBO's in my flying career, Virginia, Jacob and George (the later two being line guys) are as accommodating as you would want or expect. I was there for just a short while, but during that time they made you want to come back and visit them again. Keep up the good work!

Marathon GA is a very busy FBO in January but Tom, Julie and Virginia are always ready to help in any way they can. What a pleasure to deal with such great people. George at Enterprise was also great to work with. Everybody made our winter vacation in the Keys a special time.

This FBO is first class. Julie was prompt, courteous, efficient, and made our stay a very pleasant experience. Due to some unexpected maintenance, we needed a car. By the time the taxi drove us to the FBO, Julie had taken care of everything and the keys and car were waiting for us. The line crew is also top notch and very helpful. We travel all over the place and this is one FBO we will be sure to come back to again. Also, Daren Crews at DC Aircraft Services is an excellent Cirrus mechanic. Our plane needed some maintenance and having a great facility on the field next to the FBO is very convenient.

I echo the last comment. You won't be disappointed here. Virginia takes the extra effort to make your arrival effortless. The management seems to want your business and makes you feel at home.

Flew into KMTH for the first time this weekend. It was a great experience. Virginia, Al (Furby), and Julie provided top-notch service. Virginia went above and beyond to help me out. I will be back, you have my business for future flights... Marathon General Aviation has a great team put together.

Flew into MTH on Friday June 28, 2010, and left Wednesday June 2, 2010. I would like to thank Capt. Evan Jackson (Line Manager) for going out of his way to help me and my passenger with our luggage, and for helping secure my airplane after arrival. My stay at Marathon was pleasant thanks to the staff at Marathon General Aviation. Can't wait to come back and see you all soon. Keep up the good work! Top notch FBO

Flew-in to pick-up vacationing daughter. Fueled after hours on my own and tied-down. Next day, they had all of my info, waived any tie-down fees and were very helpful in assisting our departure. Very positive visit...Thank you.

Been visiting there for past 8 yrs or so, although the only game in town, they consistently provide great, and courteous service, Specifically Virginia, most helpful in coordinating car rental, finding overnight accommodations on short notice. Line guys very helpful, brought rental car up to the plane even before shut down, offered to help unload several hundred lbs of equip, a first class operation! Fuel a little salty, but no hassles like some places, where they play, "Lets Make A Deal". You know, buy our over priced fuel, and we'll waive our overpriced landing, parking, handling fees. Sort of a lose lose deal. All fees reasonable and very clearly explained.

I flew in on Friday and was very pleased with this facility. Before clearing the runway, line personnel were ready to park me. Line personnel and CSR recommended restaurants, and made a very good choice (Cabana Breezes). Cabs are realistically priced. Ramp fee was $20 for a BE-55, but waived with fuel purchase. Very nice facility, and the employees were very friendly! I look forward to returning soon!

Flew in after hours and rental car was ready to go. Very thorough staff that followed through with all my concerns. Left the aircraft with them 8 days and fueled myself when leaving. Thanks MGA for the help getting my passengers in and out with a courteous smile.

After a long, but fun day of flying I landed with my wife and three teens. The friendly and helpful staff was a welcome site. When they found out about the teens and all their gear, they upgraded us to a Jeep for seven. Wow, that was a big help. They were great!
