About Tropical Sailing
Tropical Sailing operates a fleet of large sailing catamarans across Fort Lauderdale and Miami, with its Fort Lauderdale departures running from the Bahia Mar Yachting Center on Seabreeze Boulevard. The flagship for local trips is the Spirit of Lauderdale, a spacious catamaran built for stable, comfortable cruising along the Gold Coast shoreline.
Public sailings include daytime coastal cruises past the beachfront skyline and the mansions of Millionaires Row, and evening sunset sails timed so guests watch the sky change color from the trampoline nets over the water. Because catamarans barely heel, the trips suit guests who have never sailed, families with kids, and anyone prone to seasickness on smaller monohulls. Private charters take over the whole boat for birthdays, corporate events, engagements, and small weddings, with crew handling everything from the sail plan to the music.
The company's scale is its advantage: with multiple vessels across two cities, it runs a dependable published schedule rather than the sporadic availability typical of single-boat charter operations. For visitors who want to actually sail — engine off, wind working — rather than just ride a tour boat, Tropical Sailing is the established name on this stretch of coast.
