We got a groupon deal for parasailing with this company. It was my first time parasailing and we loved it. Friendly service.

I went with a friends and it's a really good place to learn windsurf and for intermediate and advance sailors. The staff is very friendly and in less than two hors you will know to windsurf. You can also do SUP or kayaking if you want or if the wind is too low. Don't forgot to bring your sunblock or... More

We had an incredible time on a guided kayak tour. He gave excellent instructions on how to paddle and sit, explained the sites, took us to amazing locations to see from the water and he even had my camera was kind enough to snap photos of us. This was so worth the money. We loved it.

Hi Lisa, We are so glad you enjoyed yourselves--our guide had a great time, too. The manatees made the day perfect! We look forward to your next visit to Miami--perhaps some dolphins will join us on our next tour? More

I live in Miami and own a windsurf board, but when I go windsurfing I prefer to rent from the people at Sailboards Miami. They have a range of models and do a nice job of matching users to equipment. If you don't windsurf, they'll teach you, and if you do, you'll still find them helpful. Their prices are reasonable,... More

Whether you are an experienced sailor or if you just want to give it a try I'll recomend Sailboard Miami Water Sports. The fees are so low that you can spend the entire morning/afternoon here (Vs other places that offer the same service), the owner and his crew are just perfect, they don't talk you into doing something you don't...

Of all places in Miami we chose to drive over an hour to get here because it was the only place that advertised as 'dog friendly stand up paddle board rentals'. We first walked up and were greeted by a great guy asking how he could help us. Although the wind was kickin' and he didn't recommend using the SUP's,... More

Yes, we are one of the only dog friendly beaches around and we LOVE dogs. Feel free to bring small to medium dogs (with clipped nails) on our paddle boards, kayaks, and (for those with experience) windsurfer boards! When the wind picks up from the South, East or West, paddle boarding can be a challenge so some folks prefer a... More

I apologize if staff didn't give you a better overview of where to kayak. Within 20 minutes, you can be viewing Vizcaya (a beautiful Italian Renaissance-style villa), visit the adjacent mangrove estuary, hang out on the Twin Sisters Sand Bar and then paddle under the bridge to Brickell. Last week we took a group of volunteers to the Estuary and... More

We visited with a group of 17 teens and 3 adults. We had a fantastic experience learning to windsurf and paddle board. When we got rained out, SBM could not have been more accommodating. We went for a long lunch and when that was not long enough for the storm to pass, they offered a refund for the unused amount... More

And what a great time we all had--your group was amazing! Water sports and adolescents are a great combination. Teenagers are naturals on the water and get such a sense of success and satisfaction as they learn to maneuver their own water craft. We hope to see you again! More

We brought down a group of teenagers. Everything throughout the entire trip was pleasant. From the emails beforehand, to the fact that they opened specifically for our group on a day they are not normally open, to how they helped the teens learn to sailboard. Thanks so much for a great day, I think we will do it again this... More
