Tropical Sailing delivers consistently excellent experiences on the water, with their crew earning particular praise across the board. Captains like Jim, John, Adam, and Alex work alongside first mates Maria, Marcos, Joe, Jon, and Ivy to create a welcoming, family-like atmosphere that keeps guests coming back year after year. The staff strikes that perfect balance of being attentive without hovering, keeping drinks flowing and ensuring everyone stays safe, even when unexpected thunderstorms roll in. The sailing trips themselves offer nice variety, from sunset cruises to snorkeling adventures when conditions allow. When the water's calm enough, they bring out fun water toys and provide plenty of snorkel gear for everyone. Guests mention feeling genuinely cared for rather than just processed through a tour, with crew members going the extra mile to make special occasions like bachelorette parties memorable. The laid-back vibe and reasonable prices for drinks and snacks add to the appeal, making this a solid choice for groups of all ages looking for time on the water in Fort Lauderdale.
Had an AMAZING experience on the sunset cruise. Captain Terry, Maria, and Luther were so friendly, kind, and made the experience extremely enjoyable. We were running late and the captain very very kindly extended the departure time to accommodate us so that we could attend the trip and celebrate our friend’s birthday. 10/10 would recommend!!!
