Highlights
  • 2400 S Bayshore Dr - @SaltyMiami is the only boat tour in Miami that’s 100% powered by wind, that’s right! no engines, real sailing. It’s owner-operated, which means you will be treated like family.
    We are less like a touristy tour and more like having a local friend taking you out sailing. We explore Biscayne Bay and its diverse wildlife, we visit sandbars, swim, snorkel (optional), walk through mangroves and islets, and sometimes we visit Miami’s landmarks. We are licensed and insured.

We’ll appreciate a unique ecosystem, all while having fun and creating once-in-a-lifetime memories.

We’ll be watching for possible sightings of dolphins, manatees, starfish, or amazing sunsets.
We’ll spend about 3.5 hours on the Bay. We have some healthy snacks, fruits, and water. You can also bring your own drinks and snacks BYOB

Please text us a day before the experience to get a weather update, weather can be unpredictable, in some cases, we may need to reschedule for a later/earlier time or day.
We’ll provide life-vests and dry bags for personal items.
This is a social impact experience, operated by Florida Ocean Clean-up Society, a nonprofit 501(c)(3).

Additional Information

Join us for a personalized tour, taking only 3-5 guests per boat with our two-boat fleet. We’ve been passionately sailing the Biscayne Bay for more than 15 years for sheer enjoyment, and in 2018, we inaugurated this eco-tour to share the unique joy of wind-driven travel, or in our words, the sense of enchantment.

You’ll be greeted by the founders and guides, David and JP, natives of Argentina and Venezuela. Having resided in Miami for over 20 years, we are deeply committed to preserving the Biscayne Bay and its diverse ecosystem while providing unforgettable experiences for our visitors.

Our Hobie Catamarans fleet, engineered with a surfing perspective, offer a seamless sail across the water, keeping you close and connected with the environment. Their impressive maneuverability and compact size let you explore every nook and cranny of Biscayne Bay in ways no other boats can. They offer maximum safety and comfort for guests of all ages.

  • Travelers must text us a day before the sailing session to get a weather update. In some cases, we need to reschedule to an earlier or later time, these changes are to make sure you have the best experience out sailing.
  • This activity can accommodate only 5 travelers per boat, if you have a group of 8-10 travelers, the group will be split into 2 boats, we’ll still stop together as one group

Great sailing experience - Amzing! Awesome trip! JP was very helpful, friendly and patient. He took us to a shallow spot in the middle of the sea! It was the first time I saw such a scene, so I ate some snacks in the water and took photos. The weather was very kind, and we saw dolphins on the way back. If you are interested, you can contact him! Miami is not only a beach, but also a lot of fun experiences!

Not touristy. Honest, authentic and fun! - David is fun and easy-going and ready to make the trip whatever it needs to be for you. He's an experienced sailing instructor and meets each person where they are at. He loves the bay and wants to do whatever it takes for you to fall in love with it too. I really felt like I was out on bay with an old friend. The little boat is cozy and casual. It's low to the water creating a very intimate experience with the ocean. I was traveling alone for work and was paired up with a family of four with two young kids. I was astonished as the kids transformed from wildly timid to bold and playful under David's instruction. He is gifted. I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

Sailing Biscayne Bay - We had a wonderful time sailing with Captain David. He is so kind and informative. Our 9 year old son said it felt like we were in a movie and I couldn’t agree more! We had a blast! Highly recommend!

Unique Adventure, Spectacular! - We had a wonderful time on this trip with Captain David. This trip is very immersive. The views of the Bay and the Miami skyline were amazing. The kids liked the adventurous nature of this trip, sitting out over the water as we cruised along. The hour at the sandbar was beautiful with lots of time for swimming around and chilling out. I suspect each trip is different and depends on the weather, the time of year, and the tide, but overall a spectacular adventure. Highly recommend!

Best Decision Ever - This is the kind of experience that warrants a review.. a truly fantastic experience that deserves more than the five stars I am able to rate it! We went on a sailing excursion with Captain JP, on a particularly windy day. This accentuated his sailing expertise and allowed us to experience a truly unique trip. Not once did I feel like JP was not 100% confident and competent. His kids that came along were also so sweet and kind and made you feel like part of the salty sailing family. JP had awesome healthy snacks and even cracked open a coconut for the crew on the little island for all of us to try some. He also took fabulous pictures all throughout the whole expedition so that you didn’t have to worry about capturing the moment yourself. Be sure to book your sailing adventure with JP!
