The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable! The sunset was beautiful! They don’t serve alcohol on the boat but you can bring your own. I wish I knew that. Lol

Response from Host, Oct 2025

So happy you had a great time and enjoyed the crew and the sunset! As far the BYOB, totally understandable, that note sometimes gets lost in all the cool pics on our website. Thanks for sailing with us.

Laura_A, Aug 2025
Had a great time. The crew was very professional and made us feel very comfortable and safe, They especially took very good care of the small children on board. It was very relaxing. We got to see lots of birds, manatees, and dolphins.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

We are so happy you and your family saw dolphins, manatees, and birds. We love having the kids onboard so they can experience the water. Thank!

Worth it.

Kelly_M, Aug 2025
I did the sunset cruise and it was beautiful. We saw some manatees, dolphins, turtles and lots of various birds. The captain, Don, was lovely and insightful, teaching us about our surroundings as we went. 10/10 would recommend.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dolphins, manatees, turtles, and a beautiful sunset on a catamaran.....sounds like an awesome time. Glad you enjoyed it.

Kaptain Kris and Captain Andrew Gave us a BEAUTIFUL SUNSET ADVENTURE

Takara_U, Jul 2025
The ocean breeze felt amazing as we sailed along the coast. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, with crystal-clear water all around. We watched the waves crash against the shore, and the sun reflecting off the water. It was a truly memorable experience, creating lasting memories. We cannot wait to go on another adventure like this. They took pictures and provided them to us! Captain Kris and Andrew were fantastic. They even let me drive the boat. 10/10 would return.

Perfect evening

kristymnieves, Jul 2025
Kris with a K and Andrew with an A were very personable and memorable. I enjoyed the stories and I learned what sundogs were! It was a great experience, loved watching the sails go up. The magic hour was fabulous with a strong wind. Sodas and water were included free. Wear a hat & sunglasses as the sun is in your face for the first half of the journey! They let some people sit behind the steering wheel and play captain. Throughly enjoyed our ride!

Fun evening

Linda_S, Jul 2025
It was a good trip, but for us it was overcast and windy so no sunset, they said the night before it was gorgeous. Kris and Andrew were great. When we briefly saw dolphins or manatees, I wish we could have slowed down to see them. I realize we r on a schedule but I would have liked it.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Glad you had a good time. Florida weather this time of year can be fickle. Our captains are great at spotting wildlife even though sometimes they are shy and don't want to follow our schedule. Glad you had a great crew. Thanks!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Catamaran Experience!!

We got to see some incredible wildlife, and there were tons of great photo opportunities. The boat was comfortable, the views were unreal, and the whole experience was one to remember. Highly recommend this trip if you’re in the area.

We really enjoyed this catamaran trip on the Banana River! Our sailing hosts, Andrew and Don were knowledgeable, funny, And skilled. They shared stories about the ecology of the area and the beautiful plant life. The pelican Island was fascinating! We also saw many dolphins during the trip.

Winding down evening with a beautiful sunset cruise

Philip_B, Apr 2023
How fast we traveled just using the sails and how the wind was blowing through our hair. The sails were so tall barely going under the bridge pass. The crew was very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely use them again if in the area.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

It is so awesome when there is a good wind in those sails! Thank you for sharing!
