Great hands on family experience

Great experience with captain Israel. We had a little sailing experience so he had us jump in and help right away. We had a perfect weather day so we able to snorkel near Stiltsville. Israel was very personable and related well with the family and shared a lot of history and local knowledge. This was a great hands on experience, expect to get wet and move around, it is not a sit back and ride type of trip - exactly what we were looking for.

What a serene adventure! This was the highlight of our Miami trip! Make sure you enjoy the trapeze sling over the water(nick named the shark snack bungie ride) El Capitan Dave was super knowledgeable about Biscayne Bay and its history. Even if you’re only in Miami for 1 day this adventure is a must! Thank you soo much Captain Dave. Richard, Miriam, and Mollie from Mpls.

The captain took great care of us, memorable day!

David was an amazing Captain and took such great care of us. He is energetic and enthusiastic. We sailed out of the bay to Stiltsville, we were a little worried about sharks so we sailed to No Name Bay for a swim and picnic. The end of the day we stopped at a small island in the bay near the dock and explored. We were surprised by a storm and absolutely drenched with rain. David set us up in a friends boat house to try to stay dry but in the end he braved the weather with us to get to the dock. We didn’t snorkel or use the trapeze. Overall couldn’t ask for more. Its is a very on the water experience and you will get wet!

Sailing Adventure in Miami with Captain David!

My wife and I, along with two friends, visited Miami for the first time in March 2024. We wanted to experience something unique, so we decided on a sailboat tour of the bay. We found this tour on Viator and were happy with our choice. The tour was fantastic! We had a great time, and Captain David was excellent company. He was knowledgeable and friendly, making the trip even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour to groups of friends or families with children, especially those with 4-6 kids.

A Must Do!

We had such a wonderful time with JP! We loved that it was just our family, and JP did an excellent job sharing his vast knowledge about the Bay Area and sailing. Time at the sandbar, seeing dolphins very close to our boat, and heading back as we watched the sunset made for a beautiful day! We highly recommend!

Best sailing tour on the bay!

What an amazing trip, thanks Captain David! We really felt like we were sailing with a friend instead of doing a paid tour. Loved hearing all about Bay and the sailing adventures the boats been on. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a unique adventure and not your run of the mill boat tour.

Operator response

Thank you for capturing the essence of the experience, we are a unique outfit in Miami. It was a pleasure to host you !

Small business offering personalized sailing experiences

The schedule on Viator (10A-3P) does not match the company's boat launch options (10A & 4P). Unbeknownst to all, access to the public boat ramp was unexpectedly restricted by a construction fence, which left us searching for a way to meet the boat. After overcoming these logistical challenges, we really enjoyed the sailing experience. David wonderfully adapts to his passenger preferences and the opportunities that different sailing conditions offer. He is approachable, knowledgeable, and easily engages both young children and adults.

Operator response

Thank You Matt, for your review. We have have fixed the discrepancy in Viator and now have two well defined start times 10 am and 4 pm. As for the public boat ramp we use to operate out of, we have no control over the city's decision to renovate it. It will be closed for several months and we will have to use an alternative dock. Thank You for your understanding. Happy to hear you enjoyed the time we spent navigating Biscayne Bay !
