  • Our boats SMELL NICE  - because  we make sure air is always well ventilated plus a few more tricks - you  will not experience typical BOAT SMELL .
  • All yachts are taken care of - kept in conveniently located MARINAS - not at anchor/ mooring. Please see our docking slips - as each yacht has different  LOCATION .
  • We have premium options from  Coconut Grove 25-30 mins away by car from SoBe.
  • Our vessels are sailing yachts and due to size they also have motor. However we make sure   SAILS are OPEN  as fast as we can. Our crew is energetic and young enough to provide you with full sailing experience  UNDER SAIL  - not motor only.
  • We are professional operation - fully dedicated to offer you customized service and attention to details. Pls see -  our REVIEWS  - of hundreds of guests that entrusted us to provide them with the BEST EXPERIENCE in MIAMI
  • Miami Sailing staff is devoted to providing you with  an ultimate service  aboard our yachts.
  • We are a   family run operation   specializing in QUALITY  recreational type PRIVATE day sails  on  Biscayne Bay  or  Atlantic Ocean ,  romantic  sunset  cruises or  private dinner aboard sailing yachts.    
  • Miami Sailing operates private sailboat charters in Miami - Florida since 2001 . 
  • Initially, we started sailing as a side activity from our regular jobs on "Como Tu” - our beloved mothership Lancer 40 - and slowly developed it to full time career - as only this way we could be fully dedicated to providing our guests with reliability of service,  individual approach , dedication to  details  and  ultimate  service.
  • Since one boat in fleet is neither reliable nor covers expenses of costly repairs/maintenance nor crew living expenses - we decided to take risks and expand  -  Beneteau 461 "Wind Runner” joined us in 2013 - and started working with other luxury vessels owned by responsible owners that take care of their vessels, Beneteau 42 ‘Vogue” joined in June 2019
  • All our vessels are beautiful, always clean and very well kept - each of them offers different features due to vessel size and design.   
  • Please let us know what you are looking for and we will deliver.
  • All our captains are professionals -  licensed by USA Coast Guard ,  selectively chosen from the best - for their experience, professionalism, high personal etiquette and   full understanding of   quality service.     
  • They are middle aged individuals (for your safety not too old) - for whom sailing is a career and love of their life -  and beside extensive sailing experience - they are strong and physically capable of single handling vessels under sail (not motor only). 
  • Safety is a major concern of ours - and each charter group is thoroughly informed before accepting any booking. 
  • We are the only company in Miami that offers reliable and professional services - by most professional, young and experienced captains and full attention to details .
  • Our premium location in Miami Coconut Grove   is without doubts - one of the best location in Miami, offering easy access to calm  Biscayne Bay.  Departing from Coconut Grove  offers unique views of  whole  Downtown Miami while sailing into Biscayne Bay or the OCEAN .  
  • Sailors know that even a  full day is not enough to experience true sailing- but most of our visitors due to time - choose a half day - which we recommend for non sailors. 
  • Pls don’t expect quality sailing experience if an older couple suggests you a 2 h ride - as on a sailboat it means leaving marina under motor - motoring the channel - one round under motor -  and return to slip. It may be the cheapest - but for sure NOT THE BEST VALUE you deserve. It is like seeing Paris from the airport terminal during flight transfer :-)
  • We specialize in   SPECIAL OCCASIONS aboard our yachts - we have hosted many memorable  engagements , weddings / anniversaries, birthdays , and business meetings. 
  • We are also happy to organize corporate events , including CORPORATE  business receptions (max 12 guests) and team building regattas (6 participants/per boat).
  • We can spoil you on the most luxury sailing yachts in Miami  - luxury BENETEAU Oceanis 461  (47ft  Wind Runner - see above ) and  comfortable center cockpit 42 feet Beneteau Oceanis ( Vogue) 

Miami Sailing  offers more for your money than most other charter companies in South Florida. Our priority is an ultimate service and great time with a very friendly crew . . Our coast guard licensed captains and crew are the best in the business and they‘ll ensure your safety and entertainment on the water. Our cooler is always full with cold beverages, already included in the price. Our prices already include fuel and crew fees. And we’re pet friendly so you’re welcome to bring your little puppy on board, too. You can also bring your Ipod Iphone and enjoy smooth sailing with your favorite tunes. 

WHAT KIND of EXPERIENCE  YOU are LOOKING for?

While researching sailing operators - keep always in mind - that in order to make BEST decision - the price tag shall not be your main indicator - as the saying says -  “you get what you paid for” in the end . 

Make sure you are not fooled with PERFECT catalogue pictures and shiny marketing materials - as they may be further from reality than you could imagine.  Ask for real images ;-)

All pictures on our website are real - without editing tricks.

Don’t be fooled that advertising the NEWEST boat (was it the newest when the website was made, when ? ) is  therefore BEST - as the age of the sailing vessel and your charter  experience, has nothing to do with you final satisfaction. 

You can have the best time of your life on a classic boat from 1940s - as long as the vessel is taken care of and CLEAN - by devoted and passionate owner. 

Some classic yachts  are like WINE especially if cared by a devoted owner  - and offer luxury experience on a comfortable   ELEGANT classy  vessel. Quality of most stadarized new “modern” vessels is far below the vessels that were made before 90s (in most cases - excluding of course world famous million dollar + yachts e.g. Oester etc). Why ? Cost effectiveness ….to cater to  middle class. And most owners know it - therefore they keep good boats - see % of value depreciation of new “modern” vessels to well known classics from 90s :-) - there is a reason why they keep the value and don’t loose 50% in first 5 yrs :)

Before,  the yachts of 40 feet plus were built with quality for the people who could afford it - and expecting highest quality - without cutting corners. Today casual market tempts with lower prices - compromising quality tremendously.

However in any service, and especially charter  - the most important factor is a   HUMAN factor  - as in the end you will remember  WHO you sailed with  . 

Was the captain/crew professional? courteous? entertaining? or your skipper was a “ driver" that wanted to have it done asap …and you had nothing to talk about …. Is he “young” and strong enough to fully perform and open sails ( yes - it is very much physically demanding job and need full attention) … . Did he open sails or was under motor only for his convenience ?

Miami has it all - just make your research and be careful with “product - placement’ articles, literally advertising one particular boat / location for the convenience of the author = that boat owner :-)

  Our priority is to  put smile on your face  and have a good time. We want to  exceed your expectations  and never under deliver. Quite opposite indeed -we’d rather surprise you in a positive way rather than promise you things and "under deliver".

We have started our family operation so we can offer services and treat our guests as we would like to be treated as guests:  with respect, professional, reliable, fun. 

Unlike others we don’t promise things we do not deliver. We do not lure with fake extras and later make excuses. All reservations are in writing and you know what you get. There is no fake fotos, no photoshop “beautifications” of our boats nor the crew.

Bring your camera  and crew member will take pictures for you or we can use our gear. Please do not be fooled by ads of free professional photography is included - as of what we know - nobody will offer you truly professional services for free ( if they are really good) as such services require 2 assistants to hold reflectors and modifiers (screens) to create/control light, more sophisitcated equipment ( not just DSLR/s NIKON or CANON that almost every body has nowadays) That does not make you a professional …. There is much more to that. We love photography but we don’t call ourselves pros just because we have a DSLR Nikon or Canon (nowadays everybody calls themselves pro :-)

For truly professional services - you may hire photographer and invite him aboard. Research well, as most “prof” in Miami may be a person with DSLR and silly skills behind 

Good Photography is an ART for which you need a good eye and tech skills (science) as well.

Timing - Most sailors know that even a full day is not enough to enjoy true sailing trip - but due to time - half day ( 4 hrs ) is our most popular charter .

We don’t recommend anything shorter than 4 hrs - as honestly 2 h ride ( offered by many older retired captains) means  leaving marina - motor and back in slip. 

Each marina (in Miami) = no exceptions , have access channel that can be 10-20 -30 min long - before you can open sail, based on wind direction of course  - so calculating entry and docking part - you know your answer what 2 hrs on sailboat is a ride from any location.

For some captains - due to their age - it is more convenient - as it is the easiest trip and does not even require opening sails …. just motoring … and for them least effort and most money earned by doing 2-4 a day short riders under motor.

For sure this is not BEST value you were hoping for ...

The decision is yours !  

Come and see for yourself ! 

  It' s your boat for the day, YOU are in charge !

Come sailing with Miami Sailing  and we‘ll make sure you‘ll have a pleasant experience on your visit to Miami. We want to make you feel relaxed so when back in port, you’ll feel like a new born person.

Strict enforcement credited for smooth sailing during Miami Beach Spring Break 2024

By Anna McAllister

Updated on: March 15, 2024 / 3:48 PM EDT / CBS Miami

MIAMI BEACH — It's been smooth sailing in South Beach for spring breakers , thanks to the city's strict enforcement this year.

"The laws y'all put up and stuff, you scared everybody away ain't gonna lie to you," said King Cid.

The City of Miami Beach, beefing up its police presence and implementing parking and towing rules, along with DUI checkpoints.

This comes after two people were shot and killed in South Beach last year during spring break.

"It was chaotic, it was complete disorder," said Miami Beach City Commissioner David Suarez.

Commissioner Suarez says last year's spring break tarnished the city's reputation and says city leaders are working to change how the city is perceived.

"It's just these two weeks in March that unfortunately have tarnished our brand," said Suarez.

The city's now-viral breaking up with the spring break campaign appears to be effective — so far.

But, we still have to get through what's expected to be the busiest weekend so far.

"It is a big test, it's a bit of an unknown but based on the last couple of weeks, things have been quieter. I think we're going to be okay. We have robust measures in place but we're ready, we have law enforcement out there and I think we're going to have a good weekend," said Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner.

Despite the new rules and enhanced security this year, a lot of visitors say they're still loving their time in beautiful South Beach.

"It's not as rowdy but we're still having fun, we're having a blast and I pretty much see the same thing for everybody else," said Jazhaia Watkins.

MIAMI – Authorities identified a man whose body was found in the Miami River near the Brickell Avenue bridge over the weekend.

“Several (people) jumped into the water from various vessels and locations in an attempt to rescue the victim, but were unsuccessful,” an FWC report states.

Officials said Miami Fire Rescue personnel recovered Johnson’s body from the bottom of the river.

“They subsequently provided CPR, but were unable to revive him,” the report states. “He was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center.”

Johnson was with five other friends visiting South Florida from the Magnolia State, according to FWC. Authorities believe his fall was accidental.

The report states that it’s unclear whether alcohol was a factor.

Palm Beach International Boat Show returns to West Palm Beach waterfront

sailboat in miami

The Palm Beach International Boat Show returns this week with more nearly 1,000 vessels on display, including super yachts from around the world.

Tickets are on sale now for the show that runs March 21-24 along the West Palm Beach waterfront.

The show, which started in 1982, has grown to a major economic engine for the community, with last year's impact estimated at $1.05 billion statewide — nearly as much as the $1.3 billion Miami International Boat Show, said Alyssa Freeman, executive director of the Marine Industries Association of Palm Beach County, which owns the boat show.

"Palm Beach is really not that far behind Miami, and Miami is the biggest in the world," Freeman said. "That was really exciting."

This year's boat show features an expanded Super Yacht Show at Palm Harbor Marina, showcasing yachts that typically stretch longer than 80 feet and have a variety of luxurious amenities that include hot tubs, crew quarters, dance floors and sun decks.

"We have more super yachts there than we ever have before, and they're even bigger," Freeman said, noting that at 236 feet, the vessel Casino Royale takes the title of largest yacht at this year's show. The title of "most expensive yacht" goes to Come Together, a 196-foot vessel priced at $59.95 million.

"Everybody, when they think about super yachts, they think about Monaco and Miami, but Palm Beach is a real player in these boat shows and the yachting world," Freeman said.

Exhibitors continue to be drawn to the Palm Beach International Boat Show by the opportunity for high sales year after year when compared with other South Florida boat shows, she said.

"I've heard from several of them, this is their favorite show to attend," Freeman said, "And that's why, because their sales are higher at Palm Beach."

The show continues to make headway in improving its sustainability efforts, she said. After reducing single-use plastics, a major change this year is the addition of water bottle refilling stations throughout the show, Freeman said.

"I think that's exciting because everybody's talking about sustainability and how we can be more sustainable," she said. "Every year, we take little steps to be more sustainable."

Freeman said she is excited for this year's AquaZone presented by Nautical Ventures. The attraction showcases some of the "yacht toys" that are new or popular on the market.

"It's so cool, because there are people actually in the water demoing yacht toys, and it's usually the latest and greatest," she said. "There's always something new every year that we've never seen before."

The Palm Beach International Boat Show also features a range of seminars, demonstrations and discussions throughout the weekend, including mental health in yachting, tips to boat to the Bahamas, safe boating to protect sea turtles and how to address active threats and piracy.

Freeman, who has children, said she loves the Kids Fishing Clinics scheduled for noon and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday with captain Don Dingman.

"Captain Don has been doing this for years, and he does a fantastic job," Freeman said. "The kids actually get to go home with a free rod and reel once the clinic is over."

The association produces the Palm Beach International Boat Show with Informa Markets' U.S. Boat Shows division.

"As we gear up for the 2024 Palm Beach International Boat Show, we are excited for our return to Downtown West Palm Beach to celebrate the rich history of this esteemed event," Andrew Doole, president of U.S. Boat Shows at Informa Markets, said in a news release. "Each year, we’re grateful for the warm welcome and support from the community, which truly makes this event a highlight on the calendar for both residents and visitors alike."

Informa also produces the Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary art show happening March 21-24, at the Palm Beach County Convention Center. A Windward VIP ticket to the boat show includes admission to the art show as well.

In addition to serving as a cornerstone festival of spring in West Palm Beach, the boat show launched the Palm Beach International Boat Show Gives Back program to provide hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions to local nonprofits, Freeman said.

The grant program had a soft launch last year and formalized the boat show's four-decade practice of giving back to the community, Freeman said.

"We're really excited about it," said Freeman, who added that the boat show team is working with the Community Foundation to manage the grant program, which they hope to grow. "That's something that's a super high priority for us."

Money raised through a portion of the boat show's ticket sales, optional add-ons and some related activities goes toward the fund.

The boat show in February announced that the first round of grants totaling $500,000 would go to 25 nonprofits that have marine-related programs or projects, including Florida Fishing Academy, Loggerhead Marinelife Center, Florida Atlantic University, Inlet Grove High School, Palm Beach State College, Sea Turtle Adventures and Friends of Manatee Lagoon.

"We're hoping one day we'll be able to say that it's a million dollars," she said. "So fingers crossed. It relies on the success of the boat show and the support of the community. With that, we will continue to grow."

What: Palm Beach International Boat Show.

When: Noon to 7 p.m. March 21, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. March 22 and 23, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. March 24.

Where: West Palm Beach waterfront.

Cost: General admission is free for ages 6 and younger with purchase of an adult ticket, $17 for a one-day ticket for ages 6-15, $33 for a one-day ticket for ages 16 and older, and $60 for a two-day adult ticket. VIP experiences start at $390 for a Windward single-day ticket.

Video from only in dade shows rescue crews pulling the person out of the water on sunday, by ari odzer and nbc6 • published march 18, 2024 • updated 3 hours ago.

Editor's note: Friends told NBC6 days later that the victim went by he/him/his pronouns. Miami Police initially reported that the victim was a woman.

A person who fell from a boat and into the Miami River on Sunday afternoon has died, authorities said Monday.

Miami Police Marine Patrol responded to the scene around 4 p.m. after receiving reports of a woman falling overboard.

Crews were later able to locate him and video from Only in Dade shows them pulling him out of the water. He was then rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Miami Police confirmed on Monday morning that he did not survive. His identity hasn't been released.

Witness Fernando Veliz spoke with NBC6 on Monday and said he was on a personal watercraft with his girlfriend in the Miami River when he saw people on a boat screaming and pointing at the water. At first he thought it was a dog that ended up in the water.

"When we get around the boat, we see that it's actually a person," Veliz said. "I realize and I was like, she's actually drowning. and I took my vest off and I tried to jump in there to get her."

Veliz said he couldn't reach the woman.

"By the time I was jumping in, she was pretty much, like she couldn't fight any more, and she was starting to sink a bit and that's when I jumped in. I realized she really needed help, she was going to drown for real," he said. "By the time I got to her, she was too deep and I tried to dive under as far as I could but you couldn't see anything under there, all I could see was green."

Veliz said he learned Monday that the person died.

"I know that I did what I could but I wish of course I could have been a little bit faster and maybe we would be having a different type of discussion right now," he said.

What led to him falling overboard and the amount of time he spent in the river remains unclear. Miami Police are investigating.

Miami Beach real estate investor under investigation for firing shotgun from waterfront home

MIAMI (WSVN) - An investigation is underway after a man was seen on video firing his shotgun off a boat at his Miami Beach home.

It was a real blast on Thursday at the high-end Lakeview section on Miami Beach.

Video obtained exclusively by 7News showed the man, identified as Patrick Carroll, firing his shotgun causally on the boat while wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat.

Carroll is real estate investor who lives in a $16.5 million waterfront mansion.

The 44-year-old, according to law enforcement sources, was firing those shots from a boat that was docked at his home.

In a second video, a second long-gun was also seen. The footage was initially posted on Carroll’s Instagram account, which is now being used in an investigation by the Miami Beach Police Department, who learned about the Bayside shooting session by concerned neighbors.

Police told 7News that officers arrived at Carroll’s home Thursday before being told by him that he was only firing blanks. They also said that a second call was made about Carroll over the weekend, but police have not provided those details.

7News went to Carroll’s home Monday afternoon to get his side of the story, but those at his home didn’t say if he was home or if he would comment on the incident.

When crews returned to his home Monday night, two dogs, a doberman and a Belgian Malinois, were released and roamed the neighborhood without any leashes.

Police were called to the scene.

Carroll eventually came out of his home and said that he was firing blanks from the shotgun and that he was making a gun safety demonstration video.

“I was doing a demonstration. I was doing a demonstration on gun safety,” Carroll said. “Using blanks.”

When confronted about the constant police presence at his home, Carroll claimed he has not done anything wrong and left the scene.

On his Instagram account over the weekend, Carroll seemed to address the gun-play.

“I will slow down the posts,” he said. “Most of the negative things out there about me, and, I think, you know, people, you know think badly about me. They just get the wrong impression.”

Carroll has a significant online presence with over a million Instagram followers.

“I’m a loud guy, I’m 6’4, 220 [pounds]. I’m a big guy, right?” Carroll said in an Instagram post. “The mistake I made on Instagram, you know, if you call it a mistake, is just posting too much content. I’m hyper, I’m ADD. It’s just because, my life is [expletive] awesome.”

Carroll has been in trouble with the law in the past. He is being sued for allegedly spitting at a Wynwood restaurant manager’s face.

He also has open criminal cases for battery, which includes a 2022 arrest at Gold Rush gentleman’s club in Miami. 7News obtained surveillance video from the club during that incident. According to police and victims, Carroll was screaming profanities and racial slurs.

Neighbors at the Lakeview community said that they’ve been calling police for several days.

Police told 7News that their investigating remains active.

No arrests have been made and no charges have been filed.
