What To Expect

Key Biscayne

A glamorous Island off the coast of Miami, Key Biscayne has some landmarks like President Nixon vacation home, the Bill Baggs Lighthouse and No Name Harbor. Anchoring and swimming are a good option in this area.

Stiltsville

Off the South of Key Biscayne is this unique sight of Stilt vacation homes built in different times in the 1900s. Reminiscent of the Prohibition and post WWII eras of the intricate history of Miami.

Miami

Miami has developed into a big, modern city and its ever changing sophisticated skyline is wonderful by day or night. We will pass under the Rickenbacker Bridge that connects Virginia Key and Key Biscayne to Miami and approach Brickell, the Miami River and Downtown, with vistas of Miami's waterfront, the Port and Fisher Island.

Historic Virginia Key Beach Park

On either side of the Rickenbacker bridge there are good anchorage areas where you can go for a swim, paddleboard or just relax and enjoy the amazing vistas of the city from the bay. In the meantime, we will barbecue some mean skirt steaks*, or teach you some paddle boarding techniques*. A 4 hour charter will allow for this.

Biscayne National Park

Want to snorkel on a Reef near Miami? a 5 and up hours, good weather conditions and departure at or before 10AM will allow us to include this fascinating experience in your Private Charter.

Elliott Key

Elliott Key, in Biscayne National Park, Florida is the largest key in the park and is the northernmost of the true Florida Keys. It's located east of Homestead, Florida. Elliott Key is popular for boating adventures. The Elliott Key Sandbar, or Sands cut, is one of Miami's most popular boating attractions, but is big enough to let us stay away from crowds and loud unpleasant music. It is a great area for swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding and sunbathing on deck. Please note that Elliott Key is 18 Nautical Miles South of our departure at Coconut Grove, so allow for an 8 hour experience to include this option.

We spent an amazing afternoon sailing with Rodrigo in Biscayne Bay on New Year's Eve. Communication and meeting up was very easy and we ended up asking to extend our afternoon sail for additional time. The boat was immaculate and in great condition. Rodrigo was a great tour guide of the area. Our teenagers loved the afternoon and using the swing off the side of the boat. We highly recommend Destino Charters and plan to return and spend another day sailing with Rodrigo.

Melissa, Thank you so much for taking the time and writing such nice review for us! It means the world. Every review contributes to shed a light to this wonderful, poetic experience which is sailing, and to associate Miami with it, which unfortunately many people don't know about. As you experienced, the calm waters, the warm temperatures of air and water, the steady winds and the wonderful vistas are the perfect combination for a fun exciting yet relaxing and comfortable sail day. We look forward to having you and your family back onboard anytime! Warm regards, Capt. Rod

Amazing experience - just a couple of days ago we went on a 3-hour cruise, under the sail, there is nothing more serene than being in the ocean with just a wind, quiet gliding through the ocean with beautiful views of Miami and legendary Stitsville - a forgotten city in the middle of the ocean. Captain Rod is experienced, warm, inclusive, interesting, and engaged, feels he fits into any company well. We are going to make many of these trips with Captain Rod and highly recommend his services!
