A Day on the Water, Fort Lauderdale FL

We had a great time sailing with Captain Dan. It was so much fun. We will for sure be doing it again with him when we return to Ft. Lauderdale.

We started our adventure in a canal, traveled down the New River thru drawbridges, past beautiful homes, mansions, boats, and yachts, on the way to the ocean. South Florida is stunning, and we were able to see that up close on this ride. Expectation exceeded. Thank you, Captain Dan and Tracey!

I have been on a few boating charters before but this was my first sailing charter. My wife and I booked a 4-hour semi-private charter for two. We were joined by one other gentleman and of course Captain Dan.

Based on the previous Trip Advisor reviews for this charter I was pretty sure we were going to have a great experience, and I wasn't wrong. It was immediately evident that Captain Dan was a personable, competent and experienced sailor as he navigated the tight rivers, the intracoastal waterways and draw bridges and then finally the Atlantic.

We did stop for a swim in the Atlantic and Dan offered us snorkeling equipment but we opted out on the snorkeling as we wanted to continue sailing the waves.

The 4-hour experience went by far to fast but isn't that always the case when you are enjoying yourselves.

This sailing charter gets my 100% recommendation and we felt the price point for this charter was extremely reasonable for the experience offered. He books up fast and we were lucky to find an open date so book early if you can.

Excellent afternoon on the water with an experience and knowledgeable captain. Would definitely recommend Captain Dan.

We really enjoyed our sailing experience with Captain Dan and First Mate Tracey. The canals are beautiful and a nice way to experience the city. Captain Dan was a great tour guide and sailing instructor. Great communication and so welcoming. I would highly recommend a day on the water with him.

A day sail on the Wind Pirate, with Captain Dan, is the perfect way to enjoy our area. Sun on your face, wind in your hair, the beautiful blue Atlantic slapping against the bow, a full sail whisking you through the sea.heavenly! There is fun and frolic, too. With lots of sightseeing along the New River and Intracoastal.
The sailboat is beautiful, clean and well maintained. Captain Dan is a skilled sailor and perfect host. Tracy is the hostess with the mostest.she prepares you for your trip and takes a group photo to send everyone as a souvenir.
A day well spent and one that you will never regret or forget!

Wonderful experience! Captain Dan was knowledgeable, friendly, and very accommodating for our group. He catered our trip specifically to what we wanted. There is not a better way to see Fort Lauderdale.

Dan is a pro captain and truly hospitable host. The cruise is a great way to see all the landmarks along the river. The sailing on the open ocean was a breeze!

We had an amazing afternoon sailing with Captain Dan! He went above, and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of, and had a great time!

Captain Dan was awesome! We felt safe and enjoyed the entire day! Highly recommend seeing Fort Lauderdale this way!

Had a great experience sailing with Captain Dan. Fun motoring out to the ocean via the canals. Went under several draw bridges and right past the downtown river front then passed two cruse ships then finally out to sea. Nice toilet and comfortable cabin below deck. Plenty of bottle water. And champagne was offered as well. Great bean bags to sit on at the front of the boat. Fun “Jimmy Buffett” type music playing. We brought food to eat. The sunset was beautiful.

We were a group of three and enjoyed a perfect day on the water with Captain Dan on board of his comfortable 40 ft "Wind Pirate". On this private charter you can bring your own food and drinks and then just relax, let the views of the waterways, the inter-coastal and later the open ocean sink in, while Captain Dan takes care of everything in a professional, calm and friendly way. If you visit Miami, I highly recommend booking a tour and get this view of the city - it's just a great memory! Thanks Captain Dan and First Mate Trace!

A wonderful day on the water. We enjoyed the excitement and relaxation of sailing with extremely competent & fun Captain Dan who is very knowledgeable about the entire Ft. Lauderdale area.

I had an amazing day with Captain Dan and First Mate Tracey; ocean and wind were both wild and adventure outside was great and safe!

Captain Dan & First Mate Tracey were super fun, kind, and accommodating of our last minute request and grumpy, hot kids. We had a really wonderful afternoon on the water and loved seeing Fort Lauderdale from a new angle. Captain Dan pointed out fun sights for the adults and kids. Everyone was in great spirits by the end of the ride. Highly recommend!

This sailing day was the highlight of our vacation! What an amazing experience! Captain Dan is THE BEST! The trip down to the Atlantic was full of beautiful homes and impressive yachts. Sailing along the coast and swimming off the boat was so much fun. Captain Dan shared some Fort Lauderdale history and even a few restaurant suggestions with us. If you are visiting Fort Lauderdale, book this charter. Best day ever!

This was by far the best thing we did in Ft. Lauderdale. Captain Dan is a ton of fun! Swimming in the deep Atlantic was amazing. Do yourself a favor and see Ft. Lauderdale in a new and exciting way.

My wife has never been so relaxed on the water in 30 years of marriage. We learned a little history about the mansions, monster yachts and their owners inland to learning some basic sailing on the open ocean. If you want to escape reality for 4 hours, Captain Dan is TOPS!
Worth every penny.

Thanks Captain Dan! We had a great time! Thanks for a relaxing and comfortable sailboat tour around Fort Lauderdale and the coast! Look forward to another charter soon!

What an amazing experience! Captain Dan and his wife were fantastic, the boat was clean, well
maintained and Captain Dan made everyone feel comfortable from the time we arrived. I highly recommend A Day on the Water for a south Florida sailing charter. Will definitely book with Captain Dan again!
