Recent reviews in florida.

Camilla communication was very clear , fast & prompt ! She was also a sweetheart when we met at the marina ! The captain (HE WAS THE BEST) his customer service was outstanding “Captain Daniel” to be precise ! Please book with them YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! Booked for my 31st with my girls & we all had a great time & thank Captain Daniel almost the entire ride . Thanks Camilla & Captain Daniel publicly .

Our evening sail for my sister’s 40th birthday with a group of 11 women was phenomenal! Carmel’s exceptional service and warm personality made the experience unforgettable, and Captain ensured a smooth, enjoyable ride. Even with a bit of rain, everything came together perfectly. Highly recommend for an incredible time on the water!

I had the most amazing time on this boat! From start to finish, the host went above and beyond to make my experience unforgettable. Originally I had a different boat booked but that did not work out. However, Juan came in and saved the day. His responsiveness and willingness to help stood out in the best way possible. The captain was equally incredible—quick to respond, professional, and ensured everything ran smoothly. It was such a stark contrast to my previous experience with another host who never even responded and left us stranded. This host was the ultimate saving grace and turned what could have been a disaster into an incredible day on the water. If you're thinking about booking, do it—you won’t regret it!

I recently had the pleasure of chartering the Azimut yacht in Miami Beach, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The yacht itself is an absolute masterpiece—sleek, luxurious, and perfectly equipped for both relaxation and entertainment. The interior is spacious and beautifully designed, with every detail thoughtfully curated for comfort and style. Captain Juan was a true professional and an absolute highlight of the trip. His expertise on the water was evident as he navigated the yacht through Miami's stunning coastline with ease and precision. He also took the time to point out landmarks and share interesting tidbits about the area, making the journey not just relaxing but also informative. You could tell he genuinely cares about giving guests the best experience possible, and his calm and friendly demeanor added so much to the trip. Sasha, our stewardess, was equally exceptional. Her attentiveness and warm hospitality made us feel completely pampered the entire time. Whether it was preparing delicious cocktails or ensuring we had everything we needed for a day of lounging in the sun, she anticipated our every need. Sasha's service was impeccable, and she made sure we had a seamless and stress-free time on the water. From the stunning views to the exceptional crew, every aspect of our day aboard the Azimut exceeded expectations. I highly recommend this yacht, Captain Juan, and Stewardess Sasha for anyone looking to experience the best of Miami Beach from the water. A truly five-star experience!

Enjoy Miami In Sundancer 44ft Motor Yacht!!!

Cruising guests

Chartering a sailboat in Florida is the ideal way to explore the various islands and beaches that surround the Emerald Coast close to the Gulf of Mexico, the Florida Keys in the south, and the Bahamas to the east. As a southeastern region of the United States and home to hundreds of national parks and landmarks right by the shore or sea, there is no better place to escape the hassle of everyday life than from the deck of your sailboat. Florida is a top fishing destination worldwide and has an abundance of ports, harbors, and marinas for you to find the best sailboat for your group. You can directly contact the owners for the ideal sailboat or simply allow a BednBlue travel expert to guide you with some suggestions.

You can book and hire a sailboat with a skipper, or without if you have a license, and enjoy a one-day cruise in Miami. You also have the opportunity to rent a sailboat to cruise along the coast stretching from West Palm Beach to Key Biscayne. Finally, you can hire a luxury sailboat for a week or more and visit the Florida Keys or the Bahamas for the most adventurous experiences.

Sailboats in florida.

Bordered to the west by the Gulf of Mexico and to the east by the Atlantic Ocean lies Florida. The large state spans an area wider than multiple European countries, some of which include Greece, Portugal, and Croatia.  Florida is known as the sunshine state of America as it averages out slightly higher than other states throughout the year. Florida has multiple beaches and amusement parks making it fantastic for family-based fun. From the golden age of Piracy, the various inlets, bays, and rivers were a significant source for ships that needed water. It also offered them ample opportunities to hide treasure. Today, Florida has a very large sailing fleet and hosts multiple boat shows including those in Tampa Bay and Fort Lauderdale. There are some great attractions you can visit by the coast during your private sailing trip in Florida. Do not miss the Everglades National Park, the Blowing Rocks Preserve on Jupiter Island and the Disney Springs near Orlando. The Bayside Marketplace of downtown Miami is packed with shops, restaurants, and live performances. Whether you want to bond with your family or arrange the perfect outing for you and your loved ones, Florida is the right place. A Florida sailing charter may even be arranged on St. Patrick’s Day, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Halloween, or New Year’s Eve. Once you have selected your favorite sailboat, expect a once-in-a-lifetime experience on board. Whether it's a theme cruise on a national holiday, a weekend getaway, or a simple cruise, guests have a handful of options they can pick from.

Miami sailing rides can last from half a day to a full day and will allow you to visit multiple natural locations around Biscayne Bay. As you take in the views of the Miami skyline, you will sail past the historical landmark of Stiltsville. This is a neighborhood of homes that sits in the middle of the bay. Seven miles off key Biscayne you can easily reach Miami Beach. You can spend time swimming, shopping in any of the districts, or even head to the clubs of South Beach before you settle on board. Depending on the yacht’s draft you can even head to the national park of Biscayne Bay which has shallow but crystal clear waters. Heading to Eliott Key or Boca Chita Key around the national park you will get to dock in several marinas and enjoy a great swim. Little Havana is filled with busy restaurants and art galleries and can make a great start to your day cruise in Miami. Coconut Grove is also a great alternative with a beautiful waterfront where you can dock your boat. Your itinerary can be customized to your liking. You can have the ultimate sailing experience in Miami and even organize trips to the Bahamas or Key Largo. If you have decided to rent a sailboat in West Palm Beach on the east coast of Florida, you can head to Fort Lauderdale. A stop at Boca Raton is also an option. The whole coast has safe passages and crystal clear waters. Alternatively, you can visit Jupiter Island and the St. Lucie inlet, a popular destination for relaxing that can only be accessed by boat. Peanut Island is also a great stop for snorkeling and a great anchorage for many sailboats.  St. Augustine is near Jacksonville, with many hidden treasures and landmarks. The Castillo de San Marcos National Monument and the St. Augustine lighthouse near the coast are sights to behold. From Jacksonville to the east of Orlando you will explore many coves and lakes. The quality saltwater and freshwater also make it great for fishing, especially in Stuart where the biggest snook in Florida is found. The Indian River Lagoon on this side of Florida offers a great chance for those who are considering pontoon rentals for a day with their group.

Connected with the city of St.Petersburg, Tampa Bay offers a fantastic place to boat, whether it's for a day cruise or a perfect weekend getaway. The beaches of Caladesi Island, Egmont Key, and the private beaches of Beer Can Island are some great choices. They are often included in Tampa Bay sailing tours. The Gasparilla Pirate Festival is a huge annual event in the area of Tampa Bay. You can dress as a pirate and join hundreds of boats dating back to the days of Jose Gaspar during the invasion of Tampa City. South of Tampa Bay, you also have the opportunity to enjoy the numerous sandbars and calm waters of Sarasota. This way you can explore Siesta Key, Longboat Key, and even head to Fort Myers just a few nautical miles off the renowned uninhabited Sanibel island. 

A 3-day sailing trip in the Florida Keys offers phenomenal experiences for various ages. You can enjoy a week's itinerary as you head out from Miami or Key Largo and make your way to Key West. Key Largo and Islamorada have some of the best diving areas due to the range of underwater sights and natural reefs. From Key West, you can head to the Dry Tortugas National Park which is composed of 7 islands. It is also known for its abundance of loggerhead sea turtles. Alternatively, you can visit Boca Grande where you can explore multiple beaches and enjoy the sunset in the middle of the ocean. The Marquesas are a chain of islands 25 NM from Key West which you can add to your multi-day cruising program. A sailing trip from Florida to the Bahamas will also create lifetime memories for the most adventurous travelers. Just 55 miles away from Florida you will explore the countless islands that exist within the Lucayan Archipelago. Popular sites include the Bimini, Freeport, the Grand Bahamas, Nassau, and the Exumas Islands.
