Do it! You won't regret it. - David and Aly were great. By far one of the best experiences I've ever had. It was pretty much a private chartered boat for me and my 3 friends.

Great sailing adventure! - This activity was very unique and distinct from other sailing experiences offered. It is in fact not only an eco-tour of Biscayne Bay, but also a sailing opportunity for participants. Our captain gave my son a sailing lesson and allowed him to sail most of the 4 hours that our experience lasted. It was truly a unique experience for both of us, and one we will not forget!

Great experience - This was such a fun experience. My husband and two teenaged boys took this sailing trip in July. The weather was sunny and the wind was perfect for sailing. Captain David had dry bags for our phones, wallets and towels. He was very knowledgeable about the bay and sailing and taught the kids how to steer the boat. We went into the national park, got to snorkel, David brought snacks and drinks and had great stories to keep us entertained. We visited a sandbar and got to swim and then sailed back to the marina. This whole trip was excellent and we were fortunate to have David as our captain. I recommend this to anyone visiting the Miami area as it was a great experience.

Great way to see Biscayne Bay - This was our first time sailing on a Hobie Catamaran and my husband sometimes gets seasick so we were a little nervous, but Captain JP easily won our confidence. He is very knowledgeable about sailing and despite the choppy waters leaving the marina, there was no seasickness. JP made us feel comfortable and safe the entire trip. He taught us about the various birds we encountered, about Biscayne Bay and the surrounding area, and of course about sailing. Although we did not see dolphins, this was a wonderful, relaxing trip. Would highly recommend!

Not Your Typical Tourist Trap! - Wonderful experience! My husband and I booked this trip, and there was a father and daughter who were on the Hobie Cat with us. The tour guide was very personable and explained everything about the sailboat and the area in great detail. Not your typical tourist trap tour, and I highly recommend this half-day experience!

Sailing Biscayne Bay - Our host, JP was very personable and showed us a wonderful time. We loved the small-group intimacy of this tour. Biscayne Bay is a wonderful place and what better way to see it than on a sail boat!

An Unforgettable Sailing Experience in Miami! - We recently had the most amazing private sailboat experience in Miami with JD, and I can't recommend it enough! JD is an incredibly humble, polite, and friendly host who made our entire trip feel safe, relaxed, and full of joy. The boat ride itself was peaceful and beautifully scenic, offering us a unique perspective of Miami from the water. JD went above and beyond by capturing stunning photos and videos of our family, creating memories we’ll always cherish. One of the highlights of the experience was trying the "Trapeze" on the boat, it was such a thrill! If you’ve never tried it before, this is a "Must Do". JD patiently guided us through it and even managed to take some epic action shots while we were in the air! It was a very private and personalized experience just what we needed. Thank you, JD, for such an unforgettable adventure. We’ll definitely be coming back!
