Sailing on a private boat with Captain Dan was pure bliss! The ride was smooth, the views were stunning, and the atmosphere was peaceful from start to finish. Captain Dan was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel right at home. We lounged on deck, enjoyed the breeze, and ended the day with a breathtaking sunset. It truly felt like our own slice of paradise—an unforgettable experience!

STOP AND READ!! DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK!

lisa_f, Apr 2022
This was something I had read on a website for excursions in Florida as we were on a vacation from Michigan. It was such a unique idea to take my daughters to. It was so much fun to relax and enjoy the sunshine and learn about sailing a bit as well! He was an amazing guide and an absolute blast to chat with. It was truly a great memory I will share with my daughters. Please don’t hesitate I am so glad I was able to secure a spot as they were filling fast!

Memorable Experience

Bethany_S, Mar 2022
This was a truly wonderful experience. We were fortunate to have a perfect day for sailing and the lake is a beautiful setting. Dan is very nice and sailing with him was a blast. It was great to get out on the water for a day, running lines and steering, but you're able to just sit back and relax if you'd prefer that. There's nothing quite like hitting the lake on a sunny day on a sailboat, and this experience was a great one.

Perfect Day

Kellie_B, Mar 2022
Our guide was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed conversation with him and it was just an overall perfect experience. We highly recommend :)
