Sailing Charter On 39' Catalina Sailboat In Fort Lauderdale, Florida
A glorious day at sea! Do yourself a favor and book this experience! You won’t regret it! Feeling at ease on the water and really enjoying the element was what were were striving for! As a local realtor, I make sure to enjoy what this beautiful place has to offer and this is one of them!

Sailing Charter On 39' Catalina Sailboat In Fort Lauderdale, Florida
This was a charter to remember. Charles makes the trip, with humor, attention to detail and professionalism. While he has conducted over 1100 charters, he still makes you feel valued and at ease. We had a delightful time on a perfect day and were even lucky enough to see dolphins. A rare treat. I have chartered many boats and cannot recommend him highly enough.

Sailing Charter On 39' Catalina Sailboat In Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Wonderful sail excursion on a perfect sunny day! Captain Charlie is friendly, knowledgeable and practices safe sailing in our 4 hour cruise. 1 hr in and out of Ft Lauderdale River and canals, 2 hour sail on Th open seas. Clean bathroom and plenty of room for our personal belongings, snacks and beverages.

Sailing Charter On 39' Catalina Sailboat In Fort Lauderdale, Florida
This will be the best experience you ever had! It was my first time on a sailboat and Captain Charles gave me and my husband all the information we needed to ensure a pleasurable experience! The weather was beautiful, his boat Daffy was clean and lovely, and Captain Charles was ready to go! I smiled the entire 4 hours and I'll never forget this experience. We WILL be back!!🌹🤗🌻

It was a pleasure to have Charlie navigate us through our special day. We really were fortunate to have found him. Captain, MC, and Notary - a Wedding on the boat is a one-stop-shop and a unique way to tie the knot. My Wife is from Austria and I came from Hawaii, which is to say that a Wedding at Sea has widespread appeal. Charlie somehow added even more magic to our special day! - Paul & Sabine. July 16, 2021

Sailing Charter On 39' Catalina Sailboat In Fort Lauderdale, Florida
This was not my first time sailing and of course will not be the last one specially with the Captain Charles. It was the first experience for my family and he made it unforgettable, they felt safe and enjoy all the time with a really good sense of humor, very polite environment and of course having fun. Excellent experience and perfect plan to enjoy the city from other point of view and to see the beautiful sunset in the ocean.
