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.

For our 25th wedding anniversary, we wanted something special, and our two-day sailing adventure with Rodrigo was the perfect choice. My wife and I both had experience sailing on lakes, but ocean sailing was a whole new level for us, and it exceeded our expectations. Rodrigo was a fantastic host—easy to talk to and constantly engaging. By the end of the first four hours, it felt more like he was a friend. He encouraged us to be as involved in the sailing as we wanted, whether it was steering the boat or handling the ropes. For those who have never sailed, you might be surprised by how sailing can be both exhilarating and relaxing simultaneously. And let's not forget the meals! Rodrigo is an excellent cook, and dining on the ocean was a unique experience. Dinner was especially nice, watching the sunset and Rodrigo grilling steaks at the back of the boat. All of the meals were unforgettable moments. Whether you're an experienced sailor or a newbie, I believe you will thoroughly enjoy sailing, especially with Rodrigo as your host.

I was proposing to my girlfriend, and Rodrigo was absolutely awesome and made sure everything was perfect. He helped me pick the perfect time, took pictures, and helped me plan. As well as, his communication was perfect on how, when, and what we would do. Took all of the stress off of me. And if you get the opportunity to his food was delicious. This was an amazing and relaxing experience, and was the best one I could’ve chosen. The sailing was perfect, and he even gave an awesome little history lesson on the area which I loved as well!
