LaToya_J, Jan 2024

Awesome experience from start to finish. Even the text to clarify where to go was helpful. Dan was funny and made our sailing experience personal. It was like hanging with an old friend. Definitely plan to do a sunset cruise with him next time we're in Orlando!!

A delightful 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 :)

Dan is the man!
