We really enjoyed the sailing trip on the catamaran from Tropical Sailing! Captain John and first mate, Justin, made the trip very enjoyable. We took the sunset cruise through the harbor out into the Atlantic. The weather was ideal and we took advantage of the relaxing cruise for photos. We highly recommend Tropical sailing!

Adam and Bobby were wonderful sailboat guides. I cannot emphasize enough how much they enhanced our experience. Their professionalism, great conversations, and general knowledge really settled us during the ride.Parking is easy, they give a discount QR code before you leave so you do not need to pay $30 for parking (w/ discount $10). Water, small snacks, and bottled sodas are $1. Alcoholic drinks are $5+ but still cheap.The ride itself was WONDERFUL!! Very choppy water but the guides were sure to warn us before we even left the dock. The views are to die for and there are so many places to stand/ lay/ sit to watch the sun set. Will 100% go again when we come back.
