An extremely pleasant two hour day sail. Once the engine goes off and the boat is cruising in the wind, you are really having fun! Captain Mark and his mate Kyle both have the friendly, laid back style that makes Florida so fun to visit. They go out of their way to take care of their passengers. Thank you.

The most memorable part of this experience was being turned away for having a dog with me and being refused the $75 refund that the tour operator basically said I would get back.

So sorry you assumed you could bring along a 60 lb. dog on a "limited capacity" sold out sailing yacht with 19 other passengers. All space is carefully reserved for a 5 star experience for all. Why would you have not called ahead to dialogue about bringing your large animal along? Others on board may have had an aversion/allergic reaction to your large pet. We have to keep this experience top notch for ALL passengers. We must say it was indeed a memorable day for us too..., after serving over 15,000 passengers we have NEVER had anyone try to bring their dog onboard without first communicating with us. As far as your refund goes..., you must take that up with VIATOR as you purchased your ticket through them.
