We start our Miami sailing adventure in the best spot of Miami - Downtown - Sea Isle Marina, conveniently located just a 5-10 min drive from South Beach.
From Downtown, following the ICW channel (The Intracoastal Waterway) along AA Arena (home to Miami Heat), Bayside Marketplace, Bayfront Park, Brickell Key with amazing waterfront condos, we enter calm waters of Biscayne Bay with spectacular views on Miami Skyline (voted No 3 Skyline in the USA), Vizcaya Palace & Gardens, Coconut Grove and Key Biscayne. It is up to you if you want to continue sailing towards houses on stilts (Stiltsville) and historical Cape Florida lighthouse in Bill Bagg's State Park or Biscayne National Park.
If you are interested in a true sailing experience - book us for a full day - with snorkeling by Stiltsville or Fowey Rocks Lighthouse or remote Keys of Biscayne National Park. In sailing final itinerary depends on wind conditions.
We are the only sailboat in Miami offering private sailboat cruises from Downtown to Biscayne Bay, and Millionaire's Row of the Venetian Islands . Amazing sail along Downtown and seeing Miami from water and from close is the most memorable part of our charters for most of our guests, especially on the way back by night. We get a lot of requests for pick up in South Beach but overpriced dockage and landing fee of Miami Beach Marina and 1 hour motor-sailing by Port of Miami to the bay discourages most. Furthermore, wind conditions often make ocean sailing not convenient, and boats must go via Miami Port towards Biscayne Bay anyway. So after many years of chartering in Miami, we truly recommend starting the charter in Downtown not only for convenience but mostly for unforgettable views.
While requesting our daily rates please include number of participants and charter duration .
To make the reservation, please e-mail or call us at 786-423-3131 to check availability. Half deposit is required to make the reservation. The other half of the payment shall be paid to the captain before boarding or online minimum one day before the charter. Reservation is valid only if half deposit is paid in advance via our website. (Charter RESERVATION deposit). Booking a Charter with Catering also requires full amount of food as a deposit. Please read our Cancellation Policy
