An Unforgettable Family Sailing Experience

Asher_V, Jan 2026

Fantastic trip! This was my family's first time going out on the bay in a sailboat and it certainly will not be the last. We had an amazing sailing excursion with our family, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. I especially want to give a huge shoutout to the captain, who made the entire experience unforgettable. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, and he went out of his way to make sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does, and his easygoing personality made the day even more enjoyable. It felt less like a tour and more like spending the day sailing with a friend. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and memorable day on the water. Next time we're in town, we will definitely book again!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Asher, Thank you so much for the kind words. I am so glad you and your family enjoyed sailing as much as I do! Miami is special in many ways, and sailing it's coasts is certainly one of those. Where can you sail year round in comfortable, calm waters, that never go below 72ºF/22ºC, and next to a large city like Miami? Definitely one of its best kept secrets. Looking forward to having you back soon! Captain Rod

Perfect Sunset/Proposal Sailing

Coleman_G, Aug 2024

I was proposing to my girlfriend, and Rodrigo was absolutely awesome and made sure everything was perfect. He helped me pick the perfect time, took pictures, and helped me plan. As well as, his communication was perfect on how, when, and what we would do. Took all of the stress off of me. And if you get the opportunity to his food was delicious. This was an amazing and relaxing experience, and was the best one I could’ve chosen. The sailing was perfect, and he even gave an awesome little history lesson on the area which I loved as well!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Coleman. It was so nice to have you and Miriam onboard. Thank you so much for your kind words! It was an absolute pleasure helping you plan your proposal and making sure everything was just right. I’m thrilled that the timing, the pictures, and even the little history lesson added to your experience. It’s always my goal to take the stress off our guests' shoulders so you can focus on the moment, and I’m glad I could do that for you. And I’m delighted you enjoyed the food so much too! Congratulations on your engagement—We are honored to have been part of such a special day. Wishing you both all the best on this new journey together!

Amazing

shanice5, Jul 2024

We had an amazing time watching the sunset and fireworks for July 4th. We saw dolphins. Everything was top tier. I would highly recommend.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Hello Shanice and thank you for your kind words. Looking forward to sailing with you again in the future.

Couldn’t ask for a better boat or captains

Jared_J, Apr 2024

Steve and Rodrigo were great captains, great with the kids, and made the sailing an amazing adventure. The skirt steak was amazing and changed our view on skirt steak! If we go back to Miami we would definitely look to charter with them again. The boat was great and they are willing to cater the trip to your liking. Highly recommend, especially with kids.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hello Jared and thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are humbled and inspired by your kind words! And remember, the Outside Skirt Steak is the good one ;-) Looking forward to having you all back aboard next time you visit South Florida!

Sunset sail on the Bay

Julie_B, Feb 2024

We had a terrific time with Captain Steve. He sailed us around the bay and took us to see Stiltsville, the Lighthouse and gave us some history lessons as well. We all enjoyed the beautiful sights and amazing sunset.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you very much for your time writing this review Julie. Very glad you enjoyed your time with Captain Steve and looking forward to having you aboard in the near future.
