This was our second year sailing with Smile N Wave Sailing Adventures, and it was every bit as…read moreamazing as we remembered! We came back because we had such a fantastic experience last year, and Captain Pam and Madison exceeded our expectations. They were incredibly welcoming, fun, and family-friendly. Our kids had an absolute blast--not only did they get to help hoist the sails, but Madison even spent time making bracelets with our daughter, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the trip extra special for her. The sailing itself was beautiful and relaxing. Mom and Dad were able to sit back, enjoy the scenery, and truly unwind and the kids stayed engaged and loved the boat. The snorkeling was also a huge hit and gave us some wonderful family memories. If you're looking for a fun, relaxing, and family-friendly adventure on the water, we highly recommend Smile N Wave Sailing Adventures. We can't wait to sail with them again!

We recently did a sailboat excursion in Destin and overall felt the experience did not match the…read morecost. We were hoping for a true sailing experience, but the boat primarily used the motor and we were not warned ahead of time that weather conditions would likely prevent sailing. That was disappointing since it was a main reason we booked. We also chose to do the snorkel stop, but there was very little to see--no shells or marine life--and there wasn't much guidance or help provided for snorkeling. It felt more like being dropped off than a guided experience. The crew was polite, but overall the experience felt underwhelming for the price, especially with the strong expectation of a 20% tip. I would recommend asking detailed questions about sailing conditions and what to expect from the snorkel stop before booking

I am rather impressed that they just opened the business recently. They even turned tasteful music on our last half of the cruise and everyone truly enjoyed it. We saw a good number of dolphins. The members listened to our spotting and allowed the boat to turn a bit for better viewing to allow us to take pictures/video them. This establishment is highly recommended to anyone.

This boat and crew were great to us. My mother (72) and I did a six hour fishing trip. The deck…read morehands were super helpful and courteous to us. The captain did a great job getting us on the fish and knowing when it was time to move to another spot. For reference, the youngest kids on the boat seemed to be around eight or nine and didn't seem to have a problem fishing with a little help from their parents. Someone else on Yelp recommended bringing a rag to wipe their hands. This was clutch. I'd also recommend bringing some wet wipes. But, at the end of the day, it's fishing, you're going to get a little messy. Highly recommend!

I personally wasn't a fan of the crew feeding the seagulls funyuns which brought them all near the boat consistently.

We were told by the original captain that we were allowed to take photos on the boat with friends who would be anchored nearby so long as the boat was not in motion. When we simply checked in to verify this was still the case, you assumed we were reckless and would just damage your boat because we were celebrating a birthday. I'm sorry but the industry you work in is hospitality and you serve everything opposite of hospitality.

Our captains were so accommodating and made us all feel so safe and made it so much fun! The boat is large enough that you can spend time lounging on both the front and back and then go into the cabin if it's raining or too hot. I would definitely recommend booking this boat for your group gatherings or even a special 1-1 event!

He maintained…read moreconstant communication from the time we booked a month in advance, up to the minute we stepped on the boat. He made sure I knew the cancellation policy on weather conditions and I have to say, they are FAR more generous than any other company I've dealt with. He wasn't afraid to zig zag through the crowd to get us right in the middle of all the fun, which is exactly where we wanted to be. He provided a big floating mat, a beer pong game that was a huge hit with our group, a big Bluetooth speaker, as well as his photo services. He had no problems taking pics of our group for us while we had our fun. He got in the water and played football with the husbands and retrieved drinks and Jell-O shots for the ladies. We could not have asked for anything more! He will be our go-to from now on, no doubt about it!
