Right off of the main bridge of the Rickenbacker
Causeway as you are approaching Key Biscayne is Miami Catamarans.
Just like all good sailboat rental spots, it is not real fancy and if you
go by too quickly you might miss it. This is definitely the place
to learn how to sail a catamaran, or if you know how to sail, this is a
great place to rent a boat.
Miami
Catamarans is situated on a stretch of Virginia Key known as ‘Hobie
Beach’. This should give you enough of a hint that this is a great
place to sail.
Area locals get here real early on the
weekends to drop in their boats and spend a relaxing day on the shore.
‘Hobie Beach’ and Miami
Catamarans is located where the water is protected from surf, high
waves (or even moderate chop most of the time), or heavy currents and the
wind is just perfect.
As most sailors know, a steady wind and
calm seas is a dream to sail on, and this is the spot. Sailing
on the leeward side of the island will eventually lead you to be able
to see the Cape
Florida Lighthouse on the southernmost point of Key Biscayne.
Christopher, the owner and chief instructor
at Miami Catamarans is a strong
and capable sailor with an aptitude towards instruction. Not only
that, he is your basic great guy.
Here it is possible to start at the beginning
in a casual environment and develop strong sailing skills. Or, if
you already have such skills and cannot pass up this great spot to sail,
you can select and rent one of the catamarans to enjoy Biscayne Bay.
Experience the perfect sailing conditions
for yourself with Key Biscayne, Coconut Grove, and the City of Miami as
a backdrop.
And just for fun, tell Christopher that Eddie
sent you. You can visit his site directly at www.miamicatamarans.com
