The Wind In My Hair! - Sailing the Miami Biscayne Bay was absolutely amazing!! The sun, the breeze, it was a perfect day. David is an amazing sailor, and knowing he teaches sailing school for kids we felt safe and in good hands. He sailed us to a small area where we found manatees and then while down the coast we happened to come across a pod of dolphins! The little sailboat is FUN and it gets to zipping in the big gusts. The best part was the peace in the quiet of no engines - just the wind, the bay, and the view. David took pictures and videos and then sent them to us so no one had to worry about losing their phones as they were stowed in a dry-safe bag. He brought snacks and drinks for guests and kept the vibe chill. 10/10 would do it again and plan to recommend to any friends visiting the Miami area!

Nice and Relaxing - What a great way to get out on the water and enjoy the blissfulness of sailing in Biscayne Bay. Captain David is an all-around great guy to talk to and you can tell he has a passion for being on the water and giving you a great experience. We spent some time by some mangroves enjoying the sites and wildlife then went on to sand bar where we could get out and walk around in the middle of the bay.

Unique experience that was unforgettable - Captain David's tour of the Biscayne Bay on his sailboat was one of the most memorable and thrilling adventures I've ever had. He's a great teller of stories and a skilled navigator of the boat (watching him "parallel park" his catamaran like an action movie is something seen to be believed). We had a great time and would definitely repeat.

A Perfect Adventure! - Sailing across Biscayne Bay on a beautiful day would’ve been perfect enough, but we also were lucky to have great winds that flew us across the bay. The views were incredible and we also saw the lighthouse, national park and anchored to enjoy snorkeling a small reef and snack break. David was an amazing guide, teacher and storyteller. We’ll definitely will be back again!

Great day on the water - Very nice day, David and Daniel took my husband and myself out for a sail. The catamaran is small but was the perfect size for the four of us. It is fun sitting on the edge and just floating across the water (with a few splashes of the warm ocean water). Thanks for a great afternoon.

Missed the boat... Bummer. - Arrived at 230 for 300 pm tour. Couldn't find tour group. Unable to contact operator, difficult to contact Viator (only easy option was chat-bot). Finally talked to Viator, but they couldn't contact operator either. Viator rep was courteous and helpful otherwise. She promised a refund, but not sure how to resolve.
