A sailing adventure with... - A sailing adventure with a salty sea captain. Charlie is very experienced and he will show you the ropes. We met his wife, too. A wonderful woman. 4 hours passed quickly. We went out to sea on water about 400 feet deep. If you like sailing, you'll love this.

The best sailboat ever. - Very good experience all around. The captain makes it an even better one. Great guy, very funny. Charlie runs the show when it comes to sailboating in this area so if you’re gonna go sailboating pick this guy he educated us what to do and what not to do and made everything very clear. The vibe was amazing as well, in my opinion you should pick who you sailboat with based off the sailer cause they make the whole experience, and this guy did all of the above.

Unforgettable Day on the Water with Captain Charlie! - From the moment we stepped aboard the beautiful Sailing Daffy, the adventure began. We were honored to be his 1,430th charter, and he made it feel just as special as if it were his very first. Captain Charlie greeted us with a warm smile and an impressive introduction. He’s been sailing for 62 years, and you can tell! His knowledge, passion, and energy set the tone for an unforgettable day on the ocean. The water was a stunning, crystal blue and being out there with my friends (all teens) felt like something straight out of a dream. We got to relax, laugh, and even got help out with the sails, which was such a cool hands-on experience. Watching how the sailboat operates up close was not only fun, but also inspiring. Captain Charlie made it even better with his friendly personality and stories. He’s incredibly easy to talk to, full of knowledge, and genuinely made us feel welcome and safe the whole time. It wasn’t just a boat ride, it was a full-on experience we’ll never forget. If you’re looking for something special in Ft. Lauderdale, something you’ll be talking about for years to come, this is it. Aye aye, Captain Charlie! — Zhen

Had a Great Time aboard the DAFFY! - Be forewarned! Cpt Charlie is a salty character and runs a tight ship. Fear not though, it is all a part of the entertainment factor. Prepare to be promoted and demoted during your cruise. I enjoyed it so much, I went out again a few days later!

Excellent Sailing Experience! - Captain Charlie is a great guy who is a Fort Lauderdale lifer. He is very knowledgeable regarding all aspects of sailing and willing to answer any and all questions. The boat is well maintained and functions great. If you are here on vacation and just want to experience sailing, he's a great guy to hang out with. Will use again! Thanks.

Enjoyable Ride - We enjoyed the experience and are considering more formal sailing lessons another time. We had the benefit of a beautiful day with calm seas and open skies. Navigating to/from the sea was full of impressive sites and an interesting peek into a whole nautical way of life unconsidered by the landbound.
