Great Family Outing - 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.

Wonderful experience, you should book this!! - 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!

Excellent sailing trip that everyone should do - Excellent! This was a fun part of our bachelor weekend trip. Captain Dan was the best, got us out to the ocean and poked around for a bit. We had sandwiches and beer (need to bring those) and a really relaxing time. Can't recommend it enough if you're in the area. Also - when you come back to dock they have a super comfy swinging chair.

Captain Dan fantastic sail - 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.

Best Sailing with Captain Dan/ the very best you can imagine and more - I finally followed through, I went sailing with Captain Dan. it was the best thing i ever did. The sailboat was beautiful, clean and sea worthy. Captain Dan is a wonderful person, he is personable, knowledgeable and mindful of his passengers. and all that and a fun time. Captain is a perfect host, for a safe and great time. I can hardly wait to return to Florida to going sailing again with Captain Dan. Dan's first mate Tracey, is lovely. they made sailing a truly beautiful experience for me. Thank you.!
