A great experience
Sherry_B
, May 2022
Captain Dan was great! Helpful but not intrusive. We had a great time. I plan on doing this again. The snorkeling was the best part for me. He knows just where to go.
Best bucket list experience
Graciela_A
, May 2022
So first of all Captain Dan was unbelievably friendly he took pictures of our group he explained everything he was very pleasant we really enjoyed!!! he gave us comfortable bean bag seating if you wanted to sit center board which made such a difference on our backsides. It was a four hour trip and to sit on a hard deck would not have been the best for us. But it was overall one of the best experience on my bucket list thanks Captain Dan
AMAZING!!

This trip turned out to be the high point of my visit to Fort Lauderdale! Dan and Tracy are gracious hosts and the trip was so fun and relaxing. The sea was a little rough and it was very windy, but captain Dan is clearly a very skilled sailor. You should definitely take this trip!

Pinnacle of our Vacation
Jason_B
, Apr 2022
This was the Pinnacle of my wife and I 20th anniversary! Captain Dan is not only a brilliant captain but an amazing educator on the places around us as well as teaching us about sailing. Weather was horrible the day we had booked so he asked if we could go the next day rather than give us a refund. That only goes to show what kind of integrity he has! You I would totally book this adventure again and again! Thank you so much Captain Dan for an amazing day on the water, we will never forget it!

Best experience ever!

This is one of my favorite things I’ve ever done on vacation. Captain Dan gave a great tour up the New River. We saw tons of mega yachts, mega mansions, and some pretty cool local wildlife! Sailing in the Atlantic was amazing, and he let us swim around and snorkel right off the boat. I felt like this experience is a great price with a ton of value. These memories are going to last a lifetime!

The sail was great! We didn’t know if we were going to be able to make it out because of the weather. But, Captain Dan stood by and we were able to make it out for a great day! Highly recommend! It was a great relaxing day on the water. We will definitely be back again!!

Really fine co-hosts and a beautiful sail!
Tamar_W
, Jan 2022
What a great experience! From the first moment, Captain Dan and his wife/landward co-host made us feel comfortable and welcome. As we wove our way through a network of canals enroute to the ocean, Captain Dan had a friendly greeting for every drawbridge operator and lots of interesting observations about Ft. Lauderdale's history and development over the past century. Once we reached the ocean, the sailing part of the journey included great views of the Lauderdale coast and a close-up look at freighters waiting their turn to pull into Port Everglades. It was a perfect way to spend a safe, relaxing, informative afternoon.

Great tour of Fort Lauderdale!

We chartered with Dan on Viator for a 4 hour charter sailing expedition. Dan called us the night before and was very upfront with us that we may have to postpone the next day due to inclement weather. He was very open with communication which was great. Me and my wife had an excellent time day of and he texted us early morning that the day will be nice and beautiful which it was. Dan was so easy going and really just enjoys every minute, and we had a great time! This is our go-to from now on for sailing charters! Great job and see ya soon Dan!

This was a fantastic evening! Sitting on the front of the boat in the beanbag chairs going through the river was so amazing and it was smooth sailing the whole time!

top captain and tour, viator sucks
Oliver_B
, May 2021
5 stars for the trip and the captain, 1 star for viator...do yourself a favor and book with the captain directly...viator is selling spots which are not available in reality and then inform you 1 day before the event that you have to re-schedule...next available option about 1 month out...that might be ok if you live there, but not so much if you are on vacation..
the trip itself was very pleasant...captain is nice and laid back...you can chat and get a lot of information from him, but you he lets you also just sit back and enjoy...bean bags on the foredeck are fantastic...he lets your kids drive the boat and very patiently explains everything to them they might ask...

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
