Private Chef in Marathon
The heart of the Florida Keys — Mile Marker 47 to 60. Where Chef Frank has called home for over 25 years.
Marathon isn't just where we work — it's where we live. Chef Frank has been visiting and cooking in Marathon for more than 25 years, and there's no corner of this island he doesn't know. That means the freshest fish from the docks, the best local produce, and zero travel surcharges. When you book a private chef in Marathon, you're getting a true local.
Whether you're staying in a waterfront vacation rental on Sombrero Beach Road, celebrating a birthday at your canal-front home, or looking for someone to cook your catch after a day offshore — we're already here, and we're ready.
The Heart of the Keys
Seven Mile Bridge
One of the most iconic landmarks in the Keys. Marathon sits at the foot of this engineering marvel — the gateway between the Middle and Lower Keys.
Turtle Hospital
Marathon's beloved sea turtle rescue and rehabilitation center draws visitors from around the world. A must-visit during any Keys vacation.
Sombrero Beach
One of the best public beaches in the Florida Keys. Warm shallow water, palm trees, and stunning views — the perfect day before a private dinner.
World-Class Fishing
Deep-sea charters leave from Marathon daily. Catch mahi, yellowtail, or lobster — then let us cook it for you that evening.

Marathon's Vacation Rental Scene
Marathon is one of the most popular vacation rental destinations in the Florida Keys. Large waterfront homes, canal-front properties with private docks, and beachside cottages fill up year-round with families, fishing groups, and couples.
Most of these rentals come with full kitchens — but who wants to cook on vacation? That's where we come in. A private chef turns your rental into a waterfront restaurant, without the reservations, the wait, or the drive.
Vacation Rental Chef Service
We've been coming to Marathon for years and always struggled with dinner — too many people, too few reservations. Having Chef Frank cook at our rental changed everything. Now it's the highlight of every trip.
