What an adventure!

Wow, this is a beautiful 50 ft sailboat equipped with all the latest marine technology. You'll be greeted by the most personable Captain Mike. A sailor who has a lifetime of experience circumnavigating the globe. This is a once in a lifetime experience. After all how often do you get to go sailing on a 50 ft sailboat? Treat yourself 😄.

Captain Mike is awesome

This was a great experience. Captain Mike is amazing. His expertise, knowledge and stories were worth the price of admission alone. He even let us steer the ship. Since the limit is six passengers at a time, it doesn’t feel crowded and more exclusive. A definite adventure to experience while in Marathon.

Mike’s Amazing Sailboat.

Thank you, Mike, for an amazing experience aboard your 50’ sailboat. We especially appreciate that you took us out on the tour even though we were the only couple to sign up that morning. That meant a lot to us. We loved hearing about your extensive sailing adventures all over the world. And thank you especially for the sailing lessons, and for allowing us to assume the “Captainship” of the vessel. It was a perfect morning, Mike. Thank you so much! Alan and Samantha, visiting from Colorado. See you again, Mike!

Amazing Sailing Experience

Mike took us out on his Amazing Sailboat. It was a perfect day for Sailing. We enjoyed our sailing time and also really enjoyed Mike. I highly recommend making time to go sailing with Mike.

The best day

We had a great time. Fabulous day, great ride, dolphins and a very knowledgeable captain. We could not have asked for more!

Wonderful, laid back, comfortable sail

This was a wonderful, laid back sail with a maximum of 6 passengers on a large, comfortable sailboat. Captain Mike was knowledgeable and interesting, with great stories from his years sailing. He also knew a lot about the area in which we sailed. I spent most of my time soaking up sun and sea air near the bow, whereas my husband spent more time in the cockpit, conversing with the captain. We saw lots of dolphins, pelicans, and a sea turtle. We both highly recommend this cruise.
