About
We have been sailing the Biscayne Bay for over 15 years, just for the fun of it. We founded the company 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 owners/guides David or JP, we are originally from Argentina and Venezuela but have been living in Miami for over 20 years.
We share a passion for protecting Biscayne Bay and it's wildlife and creating beautiful memories for our guests.
We also run a STEM Youth Sailing Program and have been lucky to explore many of the Bay wonders over the years. From snorkeling spots to mangrove forests.
Our float of Hobie Catamarans were created with surfing in mind and are designed to let you glide over the water and be in contact with your surroundings. Thanks to their convenient manoeuvrability and size, they will 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.

What to expect
@SaltyMiami is the only boat tour in Miami that's 100% powered by the wind, that's right! no engines. We are owner-operated, which means you will be treated like family.
We are less like a touristy tour and more like having your local friend taking you out sailing. We explore Biscayne Bay and its diverse wildlife, we visit sandbars, swim, snorkel (optional), walk through mangroves and islets and sometimes we also visit the Miami landmark Stiltsville.
We'll appreciate Miami's 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 ready and water, but you can bring your own drinks and snacks too. Bring swimsuit, towel, sunscreen and additional clothing for after the sailing session.
After scheduling your experience, text us to let us know what time you want to come, we are flexible. Call us to confirm the weather too, it can be unpredictable, so in exceptional cases, we may need to reschedule for a later/earlier time or day.
We are licensed and insured, we provide life-vests and dry-bag.

Sailing Experience with JP - May 2021
Just went out on this trip with Captain JP and let me tell you, it’s worth the money. If you are looking for an intimate setting on a sail boat to a beautiful sandbar, this is it. JP was very accommodating, prepared with snacks and sangria, and great company. We really enjoyed our time and would recommend it to any couple. Not so much a family adventure but perfect for couples due to the size of the boat, we had a total of 6 people and then JP and that filled the catamaran sail boat. One of my favorite parts was that JP took plenty of pictures and I didn’t need to worry about capturing the day, he easily air dropped them over at the end of the trip which made it very seamless. He even took video which was so awesome to have and not have to worry about dropping your phone. It definitely felt like we were sailing with a friend, highly recommend to couples looking for a sailing experience.

Highlight of our trip!
May 2021 • Friends
This was hands down on of the most wonderful excursions I’ve ever been on. JP was such a laid back guy but attentive to ensuring our group had fun while teaching us about the beauties of Biscayne Bay. He made sure that he was able to take our group to things that interested us such as wild life and crystal clear waters. Our time on the the sand bar was a little slice of paradise away from everything. Then while at the Mangrove trees it was magical, we were able to see a mother manatee and her calf! On the way back we saw a pod of dolphins playing in the surf along with birds and cool fish. JP took great pictures and really interacted with our group. It was like being out with family. Highly recommend, better than 5 stars!

JP and his Texas Gals
Jan 2021 • Friends
Juan aka JP was the best host ever!!! We booked this trip late at night for a trip the next day at 10am and he responded quickly by telling us the wind wouldnt be great until 1145. I was late at leaving but JP didn’t start without us. He was very cool, knowledgeable, and super fun. He even let me drive the boat! I was in Miami for my birthday and this adventure definitely topped all the adventures I’ve had in my lifetime so far. The weather was beautiful and JP provided snacks and drinks. He had goggles on board which came in handy at the sandbar. It just so happened to be me and my friends and nobody else. I felt like he gave us nothing but a pure and authentic trip on the water. When we went to the sandbar, he took lots of photos and videos of us. It was truly an amazing trip. We just knew black people didn’t do this type of adventure but we did it! JP will forever be our friend. We’re coming back!

Hola! Quisiera saber cómo es el plan ahora wu estamos en em invierno, con relación al tema de hacer snorkeling y demás actividades en el agua
Juan Pablo ElCapi
Miami, FL0 contributions
Hola, el invierno en Miami es bastante caluroso (entre 22 - 27 grados celsius durante el día). Nuestra actividad principal es navegar 100% con la fuerza del viento en un velero. Además, paramos en un banco de arena a comer un pequeño picnic, y también se puede hacer snorkel si nuestros invitados lo desean. Todos los tours son operados por los dueños, pues lo que se siente menos como un tour y más como un amigo en Miami que te pasea por los mejores lugares de la bahía en su velero.
