• Ahoy Mates! Allow me to introduce myself: I am Captain Gerard Robinson, and my passion is sailing! When I set sail, I take my sailboat the Island Rose out for great adventures, and for a while now, I’ve been wanting to share my experiences with others.

    That’s how Island Adventures came to be, and today, nothing about my dreams have changed. I wake up every day with one goal: to bring a smile on your face and make you reconnect with that long lost dream of sailing on smooth water while sunbathing in the warm Florida sun. So follow me as I take you on the trip you’ve always dreamed of.

Island Adventures (Island Rose Charters)

Welcome to Florida. They don’t call us the Sunshine State for nothing, and here, in Fort Lauderdale, life is spent on the water, cruising past luxury homes, yachts and soaking up the warm sun under clear blue skies. What better environment than this to spend your vacation in what we lovingly refer to as the “Little Venice” of America?

I launched Island Adventures because I had a passion: showing off Florida and nearby islands to those passionate about sailing. I run a very relaxed ship with a crew of six. In fact, it's like a dream vacation--- sailing the crystal blue waters of the Bahamas with its white sandy beaches, or exploring the parks of the Florida Keys. Can you think of a better way to spend time, especially when you’re out on vacation?

We sail out of Ft. Lauderdale and we have access to some of the most beautiful cruising grounds in the world, including Biscayne Bay, the Florida Keys known for fishing and snorkeling, and finally, the Bahamas islands, namely Bimini, Berry Islands and Freeport, where our travelers can stop to shop, test their luck at the casino, try out the resorts and entertainment.

Life on the Island Rose is fantastic!  You can spend lazy days sipping cool Pina Coladas while sunbathing in a hammock on the foredeck, and you can sail, windsurf, snorkel and explore deserted islands. You can also spend your evenings at a marina to enjoy the island nightlife or try your luck at the casinos. Plus, the romantic in you will want to anchor out in the ocean under the stars with no one around you but the cool sea breeze, the moon and the fish swimming silently by.
