On my bucket list - This sailboat trip was truly one of the highlights of my vacation — and something I had on my bucket list for years. From the moment we stepped aboard, everything felt special. The atmosphere was peaceful, the views were breathtaking, and the entire experience was both relaxing and unforgettable. There’s something magical about being out on the water with the wind in the sails and the sun all around you. It gave me a sense of freedom and calm that’s hard to put into words. The crew made the trip even more enjoyable — welcoming, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. This is a memory I will always cherish. If you’re considering it, don’t hesitate. It’s more than just a boat ride — it’s an experience that stays with you long after your vacation ends.

Thanks Captain Charlie! - Great time! This is not your typical tourist trip. Captain Charlie is a local personality who made the day a lot of fun! If your looking for champagne and strawberries, move on. If you are looking for an authentic, super fun sailing experience, this is for you!

Let’s go Sailing! - We had wind, rain and COLD! But Captain Charlie was an exceptional Captain who navigated the seas perfectly avoiding nearly all the rain! We had a great time with all of the history and stories Cpt. Charlie shared with us. Will definitely be doing this again!

BEST Sailing Charter in Fort Lauderdale - We had the absolute best experience sailing on Sailing Daffy with Captain Charlie! We booked the sail to celebrate my husband’s birthday and had a dear friend in town joining us with our 2 sons—and as sailors ourselves, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. Leaving the dock at 9:30 AM was ideal and let us beat most of the downtown river traffic, making for a smooth and relaxed start. Once out on the ocean, the conditions were fantastic, and Captain Charlie was wonderful—knowledgeable, welcoming, and generous about letting all of us take the helm and sail for a bit, which made the experience even more special. Add in Jimmy Buffett playing, sunshine, great company, and a beautiful sail, and it truly doesn’t get better than that. From start to finish, it was a memorable, fun, and authentic sailing experience. Highly recommend Sailing Daffy and Captain Charlie for any celebration—or just an incredible day on the water!

Very windy sailing! - We went out sailing on a very windy day. It wasn’t the best conditions but we tried it anyway. Caption was hilarious and I seriously could just listen to him talk all day. Was a good sport with us Nebraskans! He knew a lot of history and seemed to know every single person on every boat we passed by. They all waved and talked to us as we drove by.
