We had the best time on our catamaran trip! We got some good wind and saw some dolphins! Our captain was very friendly and engaging and even let the kids steer the boat for a bit! The small size of the boat was wonderful for our group of 5. We will definitely book again on our next vacation!

I highly recommend a cruise with Cocoa Beach Catamaran! This was the best two hours of pure pleasure on an amazing vessel. Our Captain Kris was extremely knowledgeable about the local area and wildlife. He is a very experienced captain and explained everything so there were no surprises. He was very engaging and chill. I got to help raise the main sail and, under close supervision, steer the catamaran in the open water. Once out of the marina we were allowed to relax on the bow netting and climb all over the boat. With uncanny senses, Captain Kris pointed out several manatees, dolphins, and water birds along the way. Just a tremendous experience I plan to repeat in the future.

Captain Kris with a K haha is an amazing tour guide, followed the rules when other didn’t, has an amazing eye for wildlife and this was my first time seeing dolphin in the wild. Kris has on board audio, allows you to suggest any music you want. And has a cooler full of drinks. If you are thinking about doing this tour there is one option. Sail Kris.

We sailed with Kris for a Sunset Cruise. Visiting from NH for a week, we have done several things along the space coast/ Orlando area but Sailing with Kris was easily the highlight of our trip. Kris was accommodating, knowledgeable, and clearly has a passion for Sailing! He made sure we were comfortable and our kids 15, 6 & 3 were well entertained. If your visiting the area, Sailing with Kris is a must!

Our catamaran sailing experience was absolutely flawless from start to finish, and honestly, we never want to go back to Indiana! The captain was incredibly personable, welcoming us like old friends and sharing great local insights that made the trip feel truly special. To top it all off, we were treated to spectacular, up-close views of dolphins playing alongside the boat—a breathtaking moment we will never forget. Between the wonderful, smooth sailing, the gorgeous scenery, and the perfect hospitality, this was easily a five-star highlight of our trip!
