Great Family Outing

Sean_G, Mar 2024

This was a great family outing. Everyone really enjoyed this day sail. I have taken a few sailing classes and Captain Dan took the time to show me a couple of skills and let me man the helm for a bit. We had an excellent day on the water and I highly recommend this trip for families. We really enjoyed seeing the houses and different boats along the route. Family friendly adventure.

Amazing Sunset Sail!

Kelly_H, Mar 2024

We had a wonderful time! Captain Dan and his wife were so attentive and the boat was beautiful and had a great space up front to sit and soak up the sun while also having a nice shaded spot near the back. Would highly recommend this sailing trip!

Captain Dan fantastic sail

Samuel_W, Feb 2024

The best morning sail in Florida: River houses, boats, restaurants, luxury condos, opening bridges. Ocean sail was great with 20 mph winds. Learned to tack and control boats in windy conditions. Captain Dan is great teacher and host.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you Sam,glad you enjoyed the breeze

A trip to remember

Madison_M, Nov 2023

Captain Dan & First Mate Tracey went above and beyond to make our trip special! They are incredibly kind, accommodating, and welcoming into their slice of paradise. My boyfriend proposed to me on this trip and I can’t imagine a better place or setup for that amazing experience, which we will both remember forever! We will definitely be returning customers next time we’re in town!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Madison, Congrats on your engagement. We hope to see you & Tom on your first anniversary. Fair winds. Dan & Tracey

Excellent experience

MIchelle_W, Oct 2023

This trip with Captain Dan was excellent! Unfortunately due to mother nature we couldn't head out to sea but Captain Dan is a true pro when it comes to sailing and we were very well looked after, and he took us all through the waterways of fort lauderdale and as near to the sea as possible. We saw many great sites and had a really chilled 4 hours on the boat. Would highly recommend this tour amd if we come back to fort lauderdale, we would definitely do this trip again in the hope we could get out to sea!🌊 thanks Captain Dan for a memorable trip.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

It’s is rare that we do not visit the ocean but the sea’s were angry on this day. We are pleased you enjoyed the day. Fair Winds, Captain Dan

Delightful, relaxing afternoon!

Kristen_L, Oct 2023

What a delightful afternoon! We four absolutely enjoyed ourselves with Captain Dan as we sailed the Atlantic! We enjoyed Capt'n Dan's stories and his confidence with the sailboat as we navigated the canals to the ocean. Once on the ocean, he unfurled the sails, cut the engine, and we thrilled as we skimmed along the water. Highly recommend this outing if you're in the Fort Lauderdale area. Great directions to the location, easy parking, and clear instructions prior to our boarding the vessel. Thanks for a wonderful afternoon, Captain Dan!

Sailing in ease.

Trudy_M, Oct 2023

A hidden Gem in Fort Lauderdale

Captain Dan is knowledgeable about local history of the water and real estate. The best investment of time for our week. You could not have a better host and hostess.

The Ultimate Sailing Experience - A MUST DO IF YOU ARE IN MIAMI/FORT LAUDERDALE AREA.

Anthony_B, Sep 2023

When experimenting a nice vacation activity, many factors come to play to make the moment and the activity memorable. Among these factors is the guide or the individual leading the activity. In an activity such as sailing, the captain, whom in a sense is your host, is crucial to your experience. Captain Dan and his boat are the ultimate experience to an afternoon or a morning sailing through the beautiful canals and coast of Fort Lauderdale. A gentleman, with discrete manner, whom make you feel that for the time he is catering to you, his boat and his attention is at your service. WE have such a great time and the captain played some great music which kept my girlfriend and I entertained. These four hours spent on the boat is a lifetime memories. Thanks Captain Dan WHAT A GREAT EXPERIENCE … A MUST DO IF YOU ARE IN MIAMI/FORT LAUDERDALE AREA.

Great time

Timothy_V, Sep 2023

We had a great time on our trip we were in a family of four adults and had the boat all to ourselves. Cpt Dan even opened up the sails for us so we got to do some sailing along with swimming in the water. Overall it was a great time. Highly recommend this trip to everyone.

Relaxing and Refreshing

Dominic_T, Jul 2023

We have been trying to sail with Captain Dan for a while and it was everything we wanted. The scenic view of the sites along the intercostal and sailing on the cool breeze of the FL coastline.

Response from Host, Jul 2023
