Some friends are coming into town for the first weeks of May and are looking to charter a captained sailboat for a day sail during their stay. Please advise any recommendations or offers to take a couple and a small party of friends out into the Atlantic for some fun in the sun, cruising, snorkeling, eating, and of course consuming cocktails!
why dont you take a short drive to miami and do a charter on the bay instead? smoother water, more places to stop for a swim, etc... what size boat are you looking for? here is one... I know the broker, very reliable Miami yacht charters, Miami party yachts, Island Packet 46 Sailboat if you're looking for something bigger, i'm sure he can find it.
Hi, Here is another on that operates just a few slips away from Pascals own boat. Charter Yacht KNIGHTS AT SEA | Crewed Yacht Charters Sailing Vacations Bahamas and Florida Keys | Paradise Connections Yacht Charters The boat and operator have a good reputation.
I can't believe I didn't mention Conrad's boat! Indeed he runs a very nice operation, pretty busy too which is always a good sign.
Thanks for the great suggestions! I found one place in Lauderdale very close to home Fun In The Sun Yachts – Florida Bareboat Sailing Charters I will contact them all to see who makes the best sense for a day sail. Going to Miami will definately give us more options to choose from!
That's the right call; if the weather isn't perfect, you won't want to go on the outside, and in Lauderdamdale, that means no option except motor crusing on the ICW - which is an enjoyable experience in itself, but not on a chartered blow-bote. Biscayne Bay will almost always be avaialble even if it's "sporting" on the outside.
