Overview

This tour is an intimate experience, our groups are 3-5 people per boat maximum. We have two boats. We have been sailing the Biscayne Bay for over 15 years, just for the fun of it. We started this eco-tour in 2018 to share the amazing experience of wind travel with others. Or as we like to say, share the magic.

You will meet the founders/guides David or JP, we are originally from Argentina and Venezuela and have been living in Miami for more than 20 years. We share a passion for protecting Biscayne Bay and its wildlife, as well as creating beautiful memories for our guests.

Our float of Hobie Catamarans were designed with surfing in mind, you'll glide over the water and be in contact with your surroundings. Thanks to their convenient maneuverability and size, they'll allow you to experience every corner of Biscayne Bay like no other boat can. These boats are extremely safe and comfortable for people of all ages.

What To Expect

This is a social impact experience, operated by Florida Ocean Clean-up Society, a nonprofit 501(c)(3).
It is the only boat tour in Miami that's 100% powered by wind, that's right! no engines, real sailing. 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, 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 drinks and snacks BYOB

Please text us a day before the experience to get a weather update, weather can be unpredictable, and 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.
