Overview

This tour is an intimate experience, our groups are 3-5 people per boat maximum. We have two boats. We have been sailing the Biscayne Bay for over 15 years, just for the fun of it. We started this eco-tour in 2018 to share the amazing experience of wind travel with others. Or as we like to say, share the magic.

You will meet the founders/guides David or JP, we are originally from Argentina and Venezuela and have been living in Miami for more than 20 years. We share a passion for protecting Biscayne Bay and its wildlife, as well as creating beautiful memories for our guests.

Our float of Hobie Catamarans were designed with surfing in mind, you'll glide over the water and be in contact with your surroundings. Thanks to their convenient maneuverability and size, they'll allow you to experience every corner of Biscayne Bay like no other boat can. These boats are extremely safe and comfortable for people of all ages.

Itinerary

This is a social impact experience, operated by Florida Ocean Clean-up Society, a nonprofit 501(c)(3).
@SaltyMiami is the only boat tour in Miami that's 100% powered by wind, that's right! no engines, real sailing. You will be treated like family.
We are less like a touristy tour and more like having a local friend taking you out sailing. We explore Biscayne Bay and its diverse wildlife, visit sandbars, swim, snorkel (optional), walk through mangroves and islets, and sometimes we visit Miami's landmarks. We are licensed and insured.

We'll appreciate a unique ecosystem, all while having fun and creating once-in-a-lifetime memories.

We'll be watching for possible sightings of dolphins, manatees, starfish, or amazing sunsets.
We'll spend about 3.5 hours on the Bay. We have some healthy snacks, fruits, and water. You can also bring your drinks and snacks BYOB

We had the most incredible experience with David at Sail Ahead Miami. We have been on speed boats and sailboats before, but nothing was as relaxing and thrilling. David was awesome at explaining how everything works, this was not just like another commercial boating experience this was rather an educational learning experience. David was so family friendly with personal attention. He really went above and beyond to make this as a memorable fun experience as possible. Now we all want to learn how to sail on our own. This is definitely going to be our new adventure every time we visit Miami. A++++++++++ I would give it more than 5 stars if there would be such an option. Highly recommended. Keep up your great work and wishing you all the best. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.

We had a wonderful experience. I was a bit worried at first because it was a windy day and the trip was almost canceled. Also, we had different ages so getting on the sailboat took some time to get everyone comfortable. But as we started to sail off all my worries disappeared. I had always wanted to ride on a sailboat since I was a kid, so this was kinda a bucket list item for me. JP was an awesome tour guide! He did an amazing job of taking so many pictures and videos for us! He was very informative and knew the area well. JP was very friendly and kept the conversation flowing. I appreciated that he made a point to remember all our names and get to know everyone. He was a great tour guide. We learned about the winds and sailing. JP had some of us try to sail and steer and it was a lot of fun! My daughter and I got to hang from the side with a harness which was a very unique experience. We saw a dolphin, sting ray, and puffer fish. We stopped at some mangroves in search of manatees, but no luck (We did see a Karen though😉). JP brought us by an island that he and others had spent the cleaning up and posting signs to clean up trash. I really appreciate their conscious effort to protect the environment. JP brought snacks and waters for the group and we enjoyed just hanging out in the water. We had a great experience and I would definitely book again if I’m ever back in the area.

We had such an amazing time with JP! Can't recommend this experience enough. It's a great thing to do with family or friends when they're visiting Miami and a totally unique experience!

David is fun and easy-going and ready to make the trip whatever it needs to be for you. He's an experienced sailing instructor and meets each person where they are at. He loves the bay and wants to do whatever it takes for you to fall in love with it too. I really felt like I was out on bay with an old friend. The little boat is cozy and casual. It's low to the water creating a very intimate experience with the ocean. I was traveling alone for work and was paired up with a family of four with two young kids. I was astonished as the kids transformed from wildly timid to bold and playful under David's instruction. He is gifted. I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

We had a wonderful time sailing with Captain David. He is so kind and informative. Our 9 year old son said it felt like we were in a movie and I couldn’t agree more! We had a blast! Highly recommend!
