Bach Party Sailing Daffy - We booked this for a bachelorette party (5) and had a blast—even with choppy water out at sea and one of us getting seasick. Captain Charlie was a unique character but knew how to operate the sailboat with ease. He took amazing photos of our group in the canal and of the bride driving the boat, which became the perfect memory saver for the excursion. If you are sensitive to bolder personalities and don’t have a wide sense of humor, I would recommend a different experience.

Great afternoon of Sailing! - We had a fabulous time sailing with Captain Charlie! We felt safe at all times. Appreciated that we could bring our own snacks and drinks. This will be a "must do" the next time we are in the Fort Lauderdale area.

1st time on a sailboat in the ocean! - Captain Charlie was not only a hoot but a very skilled and professional captain of Daffy his sailboat. The trip both ways through downtown Ft Lauderdale was scenic and also very challenging with the other vessels going through and the drawbridges to go under. So cool to be out in the ocean sailing around. Charlie also had us help put up and take down the sails which was very interesting to learn. I even sat in the captain chair and steered a little bit.

Had a great time sailing for the first time! - I had a really fun and entertaining time sailing with Captain Charlie! He is very experienced which I really appreciated. He was also flexible with us when weather didn’t cooperate and recommended rescheduling in order for my family to have a safe and enjoyable experience on the water. Sailing on Daffy was wonderful. My family had a great time and would go again next time! Thank you so much to Captain Charlie who allowed us to have a an incredible family memory of sailing for the first time!

A Sail of a Lifetime! - Captain Charlie ROCKS! He was hysterically funny in a sailor kind of way. We learned a lot about sailing and he gave us lessons. Got to steer the boat too! When out in the ocean, the sails went up. What a beautiful sight! The whole experience was wonderful. Thank you Captain Charlie for making such a memory for us all!
