Sailing with a great guy on a great boat makes for a great afternoon! - This was a wonderful afternoon sailing with Captain Daffy! He is a character and just a great guy! He clearly knows boats and sailing! We were all at ease and had a fantastic afternoon! His boat is beautiful and comfortable with shade and sun! There's plenty of seating and a cabin downstairs with a bathroom. We took our 2 and half year old and he had a blast! Captain Daffy let a few others try to steer the boat and gave quick steering lessons to a few of the young adults on board. Made some great memories! Reasonably priced, and he even allowed us to bring a few extra people on board last minute. Just a wonderful overall experience and will be booking again next time we're in town! Wishing you the best Captain Daffy! Thanks!

Amazing excursion - We loved this excursion! We went with our two kids (8 and 10) and they had a blast on the boat. Captain Charlie is knowledgable, funny and engaging, and he let us all take turns driving the boat and helping with the sail. He has a promotion system that kept our kids eager to help. The ride took us through the river where we could see beautiful homes and yachts, and then out to the ocean for a few hours. Unfortunately we didn’t see any manatees or dolphins but the trip was incredible and we would highly recommend this excursion with Captain Charlie.

Sailing lesson and a new friendship :) - My cruise on the daffy was more than fun. Super educational. And an all around good time. The whole purpose of this was to see if I get sea sick, but about half way through I realized that not only did captain Charlie share his passion of sailing with me, he also started a new passion of sailing in me. I loved the open water, wind, seeing sea turtles and flying fish. Captain Charlie was awesome. He taught me how to steer the daffy, he was funny, informative, and honestly just a blast to hang out with. It was just the two of us, and we had an amazing time. I will definitely be chartering with him again when my brother comes to visit. And I would recommend him to anyone looking for a laid back good time. Of course you need to follow rules, they are there for your safety. But he’s definitely someone who gets the point across very quickly leaving more time to enjoy the ride. It’s not about how fast we go, it’s the journey!!!! Thank you captain charlie. Hope to see you again soon :)

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.
