The Hawks Cay Marina --- set in the Florida Keys at MM 61, about 60 miles from Key West and 10 miles from Marathon --- offers boaters a truly unique resort experience. From the moment you dock at the marina, which has 85 slips for boats up to 110 feet, you will understand why so many guests return time and time again.

Boaters are immediately greeted by longtime marina manager Beverly Seiling or one of her well- trained staff. Our marina staff treats our guests as if they are part of our boating family, says Beverly. We have some clients who have been coming here since before they had kids, and now they have teenagers.

Guests at the marina have access to all the amenities of the adjacent resort. You will not be bored at Hawks Cay unless you choose to be. The first-rate amenities include every watersport conceivablepaddle boards, kayaks, a complete dive shop and a new Jetlev device that allows you to levitate above the water as if you are flying. The resort is also well known for its Dolphin Connection program, which gives guests the chance to swim with dolphins. The Calm Waters Spa at Hawks Cay features innovative treatments, such as the Bamboo Massage, which employs bamboo rods of various sizes, and the signature Key Lime Mojito Body Treatment.

The resort has amenities and programs to accommodate all groups of boaters. If you're traveling with kids, you can take advantage of the supervised programs that keep the little ones busy with activities ranging from fish feeding to snorkeling. The family-friendly Ocean restaurant has just been renovated and serves three meals a day, with dishes that include kid favorites such as pizza and pasta. If you've escaped for a weekend with friends, hit the adults- only tranquility pool and the new tiki bar, which has beautiful ocean views. The adults-only Beach Grill serves casual fare such as fish tacos and burgers, and the cocktails are top-notch.

The marina has its own amenities and special features as well. If you're lucky enough to have your own fresh catch, the chef at the marina's Tom's Harbor House Restaurant will cook it up for you to order. And when planning your trip, keep an eye out for one of the marina's most popular programs, Rock the Docks. Bands play right on the docks, bringing the live music directly to you.

Hawks Cay offers a wealth of amenities and recreational opportunities. It is a popular stop for groups and families, and the marina will happily help customize activities for individual groups. The Hawks Cay experience is truly exceptional and is sure to leave you planning for your next visit.
