We had such a great sailing trip with Captain David and Missy celebrating my sister in laws birthday! My husband and I have never been sailing before and it was so much fun! Great conversation, beautiful views and so relaxing! They both truly LOVE what they do and it shows! Cannot recommend this experience enough. Looking forward to booking another trip soon!

Let me just start with WOW! What an amazingly well maintained vessel! Captain Daniel and his wife Missy were so welcoming and very informative about the boat. This sailing trip was the highlight of our vacation! We will be doing this again. Thanks Captain Daniel! ⛵️

Captain Daniel was awesome and a very experienced captain! We did a sunset cruise with my mom and some of my friends for my birthday. This is my birthday tradition every year and I always look forward to it. Even being a local he made the experience so fun and special. We got to relax and sail past one of my favorite spots, Shell Island. He even played our favorites- Jimmy Buffet- all evening long. We talked the night away, got some really cool pictures, and had such a perfect time. Would definitely recommend and will be back!

My boyfriend wanted me to get some experience sailing and we went with Captain Daniel in February. It was such an awesome experience from talking to him on the phone before we sailed to after we were done. Daniel makes you feel comfortable and takes time to answer any questions you might have. I was a little concerned getting seasick and I did great enjoying the wind and waves while listening to the sound of the sails. I definitely would go out with him again. Being a local here makes this a dream come true to be able to sail right at home. Highly recommend!!!!

Our experience with Captain Daniel was a highlight of my wife's and my honeymoon! It's hard to find a friendlier, more personable guy to spend a sailing trip with. Captain Daniel was extremely hospitable and informative. We were fascinated by his lessons on sailing, the history of his boat, and the many life stories he shared with us.

Captain Daniel allowed each of us to take time sailing the boat, which was a blast, and found us the perfect spots for dolphin watching (we saw a group of 10+ dolphins!) and sunset views. We can't say enough good things about our experience. We will absolutely be back! Thank you Captain Daniel.

Captain Daniel always provides exceptional experiences on his excursions. We have used Emerald Coast Sailing Excursions on multiple occasions while vacationing from Texas and have always had a great time. Captain Daniel and his wife, Melissa, are incredibly kind and attentive to their guests. We highly recommend them to all our family and friends who visit Panama City Beach, Florida.

My husband and I had never been sailing before and were very excited about going out with Daniel & Missy Snapp and needless to say we were not disappointed! They created such an amazing time for us! The music, views, dolphins and conversation with them was amazing to say the least and now we can’t wait to do it again!

We had a wonderful time on Daniel and Missy’s beautiful sailboat. The attention to every little detail on their boat truly makes it a work of art. Daniel’s stories of his sailing experiences made us feel a part of the rich boating history of the area—and getting to captain the boat was an extra treat. The sunset was breathtaking! From the moment we stepped on board until we returned, the trip was amazing and unforgettable. It was definitely time well spent with fabulous friends and hosts. Missy and Daniel—thanks for sharing your sailboat with us. We can’t wait to go again! If you are in PC, this experience is a must!
