Where is the departure point?

Sailing Center (Key Biscayne)

Paddle along the beach as you admire the breathtaking skyline of Miami. Our Sailing Center does not have much exploring to do compare to our marina location, however, you will appreciate the crystal-clear bay water of Key Biscayne. It is very common to see tropical fish and eagle rays swim right by your side as you calmly paddle and if you look well enough, you may even notice wild dolphins playing on the horizon! This location is great if you are looking to jump in the water and enjoy a nice swim as well. After your session, get some beach chairs from us and enjoy a nice tan.

Highlights
Paddle out without a guide
Explore tropical wildlife
3years+ to participate
Easy and Safe for all ages
Free hour rental for every large bag of trash collected during the trip

Paddle Sports Equipment Offered

Single or Tandem Kayak

Kayaking is the most common paddle activity. No matter if you choose the single or double kayak, this is our most sturdy paddle activity due to the riders being in a seated position at all time. 

Stand up Paddle-Board (SUP)

Paddle-boarding is similar to surfing except that you do not need a wave to keep you riding. Our soft deck boards are very large, making them extremely stable for anyone to paddle on. You may choose to start on your knees before trying to stand up on the board if that can help you build confidence.

Eclipse Pedal-Board

Offered only at our Sailing Center, this new activity called Hobie Mirage Eclipse is a combination of paddle-boarding and elliptical machine, giving riders the ultimate leg work out as they enjoy a breathtaking view! No experience needed, extremely simple and sturdy for anyone to try.
