The most memorable part of our trip was bonding with my friend and her family. Watching her boys enjoy jumping on the trampoline and making life-long friends with other passengers. The crew was hilarious and engaging. The prices on the catamaran were more than fair and they provide everything you need for an amazing experience. I highly recommend this whether you live in Florida or are just here visiting. Well, well, well worth the price!

Megan_M, Mar 2024

We had an amazing day. The crewmates were awesome with my two little boys and it was one of the most relaxing excursions we did while in Fort Lauderdale.

Amazing Catamaran boat trip

DMia_W, Mar 2024

It was a great catamaran trip. The crew and Captain were so nice and accommodating. They gave us a tour of the celebrity home and yacht owners and when we arrived to the swim site they put out a trampoline and giant float. The boat even had a slide. It was about to storm so the captain had us sail at full speed due to the high winds then cut around and got us to clear skies. This is our 3rd time. We love it so much fun.

Very fun Catamaran trip

DMia_W, Sep 2023

We had an amazing time!! They made sure we had a great time! The big float is amazing. They provide snorkel equipment and are very knowledgeable about the homes and yachts on the water. We loved sailing in the Catamaran.

Great Adventure!!

Scott_R, Jul 2023

A beautiful day for sailing. We loved the ocean play and swim. Crew was fun and informative!! Would definitely do this adventure again.

Too $$$ not worth the experience

Patricia_I, Jun 2023

Everyone on the boat was super friendly. The boat ride was nice. When I was booking this activity it said 2 1/2 hours so I was thinking 30 minutes to get there about an hour of play in the water and 30 min back, but no it was just like 20 minutes in the water. It was not worth $400 with parking bc you have to pay to park for my family of six. I have done this before and it was a lot cheaper with 2 different stops that you really get to enjoy. I wouldn’t do it again.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

We are sorry to hear that you do not feel you received the value of what you spent. Here at Tropical sailing we take our guest's experience seriously. It appears as though you are reviewing the the Sail Splash. This 3 1/2 hour tour (not 2 1/2) consists of a 30-45 minute cruise along the waterfront mansions and amazing yachts out to the ocean. Once in the ocean we raise the sails and turn off the motors as we sail to our designated anchorage. We usually send an hour to an hour and a half anchored a playing on the various water toys before we make our way back to the marina. I don't know where you parked but the lot here only charges $7 a day. We ask you to contact the office and share your experience with management. If they crew is not following protocol then management will make necessary adjustments.

From start to finish everything about the day was beautifully executed! The crew was professional, safe, fun, and above all super nice! We really enjoyed ourselves and the other people on the boat! We went with our 3 kids and one of our daughter's friends and all of them loved the included Trampoline and floating water pad during the free swim time.
