5.00Great trip. Capt Dan was tremendous. I sail a bit and he definitely knows what he is doing. We had a minor issue. One of the draw bridges along the canal malfunctioned (not uncommon in Ft Lauderdale) trapping us away from our dock. Capt Dan called a freind to ask if he could drop us at his dock. Then his wife picked us up and transported us to our car. Great service. This trip will be my go to whenever I have out of town guests.
Perfect Day Sailing

5.00What an amazing experience and a highlight of our trip to Ft Lauderdale! After navigating through the beautiful city we raised the sails and sailed out in the sky-blue ocean. Captain Dan’s calm and knowledgeable demeanor made this a perfect outing and Tracey made us feel like we were old acquaintances visiting from out of town. Couldn’t ask for a more perfect outing!
We’ll run operation

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don't know where to start... Captain Dan and Tracy are incredibly kind and soulful people! From the very first minute on board, it feels like a movie: light wind, stunning views and an atmosphere of total happiness. You can see that they really love what they do — and you can feel it in every detail. We bathed in crystal clear waters, jumped on waves, enjoyed the wind and the sea – all like a beautiful dream. The boat is chic, but the whole setting is very cozy and relaxing. Honestly, it all looked like an expensive treat... although it's actually very affordable. You can book a boat for a private tour for up to 6 people, or you can join others as you like. Just call or text 954-868-7151 and make arrangements. It's simple and very friendly. Whether you live in Florida or just came to Fort Lauderdale, I highly recommend this adventure. You will laugh, swim, rest your soul and body. And you'll probably want to come back again. Honestly? I'm even a little bit sorry I'm putting 5 stars on – I'm afraid they'll have everything booked for a long time now 😅 But they really deserve it. Thank you for one of the best days of your life, Captain Dan and Tracy. See you soon - I'll be back!
A Fabulous Time Aboard the Wind Pirate Sailboat! GetSome!!

5.00Come aboard the Wind Pirate and enjoy an open water adventure you will not forget! Capt Dan is beyond knowledgable and is in complete control. Bring your drinks and snacks and enjoy the ride. The Wind Pirate is a 40' sailing vessel kept in pristine condition with all the creature features needed. A definite must to put on your "to-do" list. GetSome!!
