I’m a passionate local guide who truly loves meeting people from all walks of life. Nothing brings me more joy than sharing beautiful waterways, hidden gems and unforgettable experiences with travellers who are excited to explore. Guests often tell me they immediately feel comfortable and welcomed because I treat everyone like a friend right from the start. I believe in kindness, inclusivity, and creating moments that make people smile long after the journey is over. My path as a guide grew from a lifelong love of being on the water, connecting with others, and showing people an amazing time. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of guiding countless travellers, families and adventurers, and what I love most is the energy each new group brings. I’m known for being upbeat, fun, adaptable and genuinely caring. Whether someone wants a relaxing ride, a lively outing or a meaningful conversation, I’m all in — I love creating experiences that feel personal and unforgettable. I know these waterways and surrounding areas inside and out, from the lively intercoastal channels to the peaceful hidden spots that most visitors never get to see. I enjoy sharing local stories, wildlife encounters, great photo opportunities and the small details that make this region truly special. Travellers often say that exploring with me feels like discovering the area with a trusted local friend who knows exactly where the magic is. I warmly invite you to join me for a memorable experience you’ll be talking about long after it’s over. I take pride in welcoming everyone — no matter who you are or where you come from — and making sure you have an amazing time from start to finish. I can’t wait to meet you, share some laughter, and help you create lifelong memories on the water.

If you love the golden hour light and enjoy sparkling city views, this late-afternoon-to-evening water tour is for you. We'll be heading east from Dania Beach, sailing through impressive mega-yacht marinas and boatyards, where the size of the vessels is truly jaw-dropping. But our main destination will be your prerogative. You could decide to venture north through Port Everglades and head towards downtown Fort Lauderdale and the New River, as to wind through the “Venice of America” across mansions and luxury yachts. Alternatively, you could instead opt to head south towards picturesque Hollywood, with the option to stop at a waterfront bar or restaurant before continuing past the mega homes of Golden Beach and the Golden Isles. If time allowed, we could even venture to Haulover Inlet or Raccoon Island! All my tours are customizable, so rest assured I'd be glad to help you create your perfect sunset-to-evening escape.
-After meeting at my private dock in Dania Beach as the afternoon light softens, I’ll welcome you aboard, help with any bags or accessories you might be carrying. -I'll then share a brief safety talk & outline your preferred route to sail. -As the sun sinks towards the horizon, we'll cruise through Dania Beach’s mega-yacht marinas & boat yards as we glide east passing by impressive vessels & working yards. -Following this, you'll decide where to sail next: either go north through Port Everglades into downtown Fort Lauderdale & the New River, or turn south along Hollywood’s waterfront, with the option to stop at places like Margaritaville, Le Tub, Taverna Opa, or Billy’s Stone Crab. If you chose this route (and time allowed for further exploration) we could even reach Golden Beach & see the Golden Isles. -At last, we'd ease back to my private dock at Dania Beach, soaking in city-light reflections under the evening sky while I share local stories or play music of your choice.

The Prosperity, my 2021 Harris Cruiser 23—a comfortable, stable pontoon boat set up for relaxed private charters. She has plush seating, a bimini shade top, Bluetooth sound system, and space for up to 6 guests to spread out. It offers easy boarding, plenty of room for bags and coolers and a smooth ride that’s perfect for sightseeing, photos and sandbar stops.

I will be at my private dock to greet you and personally escort your group aboard the ship. This is a residential waterfront home with dedicated guest parking, although the boat is not visible from the parking area. I also offer free transportation from (and back to) Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL) & Port Everglades, with luggage storage, if you’d like to go on the water right when you arrive or just before you leave.
