Words From Our Guests
Do not miss out, If you want a truly amazing experience then you can book with confidence by opting to go with Captain Chris and his first mate Matt for a sailing trip that you will never forget. This is what life is all about, the beauty of the Gulf, as you sail, you are surrounded by the majestic views and the sea. Do not opt for a 2 hour sail, it will be over and you will wish you booked more time. We booked 4 hours and were sad to be departing. We could have sailed with Captain Chris and Matt for days... We tried to convincng them into continuing a 5 day sail to Key West... LOL... In all seriousness this was a sailing day we will never forget and when visiting the area again we will do this on every visit because this will never get old. PS: There were four of us and we all agreed this was the best time ever!! So many beautiful photos which should I add? Oh, almost forgot the Space Dancer is a beautiful sailboat. Wish I could add the movies of the dolphins swimming along with us. That was also equally amazing!!! This is a must book and must do...

We went out for a 2 hour sail with Capt. Chris and his mate Zach, and had an incredible time! Capt Chris is energetic, friendly, and very welcoming. Besides being a skilled sailor, he is eager to share his local knowledge and history of the area. He was kind to our two little boys and went out of his way to make sure they had a fun experience. Highly recommended!

Had an excellent time sailing the gulf onboard the Space Dancer with Capt Chris! He was incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable, and easy-going. His vessel has a story all of its own, so be sure to ask. Highly recommend.
