Sail Biscayne Bay: An Intimate Eco-Adventure with Snorkeling
Overview
This tour is an intimate experience, our groups are 3-5 people per boat maximum. We have two boats. We have been sailing the Biscayne Bay for over 15 years, just for the fun of it. We started this eco-tour 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 founders/guides David or JP, we are originally from Argentina and Venezuela and have been living in Miami for more than 20 years. We share a passion for protecting Biscayne Bay and its wildlife, as well as creating beautiful memories for our guests.
Our float of Hobie Catamarans were designed with surfing in mind, you'll glide over the water and be in contact with your surroundings. Thanks to their convenient maneuverability and size, they'll 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.

@SaltyMiami is the only boat tour in Miami that's 100% powered by wind, that's right! no engines, real sailing. You will be treated like family.
We are less like a touristy tour and more like having a local friend taking you out sailing. We explore Biscayne Bay and its diverse wildlife, visit sandbars, swim, snorkel (optional), walk through mangroves and islets, and sometimes we visit Miami's landmarks. We are licensed and insured.
We'll appreciate a 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.

The answers provided below were previously given in response to questions from Top10Adventures® customers.
Filter by:
Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All Top10Adventures® snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on Top10Adventures® tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use. However, if you feel more comfortable using your own snorkeling equipment, feel free to bring it on the tour. Please note, there is no discount for providing your own equipment and we can’t be responsible for any lost or damaged items.
May 2023First-time snorkelers can be assured of one-on-one instruction and assistance. We find introducing folks to our world very rewarding!
Oct 2021There are no legal age limits for snorkeling. We have found that age 5 or 6 is a good age to learn the basics of snorkeling, however, it’s entirely up to individuals to make the best choice for their family.
Sep 2021If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
