About Rodrigo
“I am an enthusiastic explorer who has a strong passion for learning and experiencing new things. Sports such as biking, paddleboarding, skiing, hiking, and sailing are some of my favorite activities. Music holds a special place in my heart, and currently, I'm involved in two bands where I enjoy playing the drums, which I like to think of as the engine of the group. Apart from that, I have a keen interest in photography, cooking, and mechanics. Traveling is one of my greatest joys in life. Thankfully, my wife doesn't mind me spending time out on the boat. We are proud parents of two incredible daughters who are now in their 20s. Originally from Chile, I have been living in the USA since 1999. I came to Boston University for an MBA. I then had the opportunity to work in the corporate sector for 13 years. Following that, I took on the responsibility of managing our family businesses in Chile and Peru, all while being fortunate enough to call Miami my home. Oh, and the sailing. I have been sailing since I was 10 years old. I hold a USCG Captain's License. I have sailed the coast of Chile, the Bahamas, the Florida Keys, Dry Tortuga, and from Key West to Isla Mujeres in Mexico. If there's one motto I live by, it would be "Relax, nothing is under control.”

Steven was an outstanding host and excellent grillmaster (protip: get the steak!). He gave our little group plenty of options for our outing and provided enough detail to help us make the best choice - and it really was a perfect outing. I'll 100% use him again, and you should 100% use him now.

We rented the sailboat for our special unique engagement photoshoot and it was super nice. They assisted with getting the right shots and angles with our photographer. They took us to all the best scenery on the ocean! It was very welcoming and nice!

Captain Steve and his beautiful sailboat made for a great day trip for my family with older teens. Steve was an extremely gracious host, kind, flexible, and encouraging, plus he has a way with the grill, too. Highly recommended!

Had an excellent time with Captains Steve and Rodrigo. Sailed around Biscayne Bay for a couple hours under 10-12 knots of wind. Steve and Rodrigo are super laid back, fun to be around, considerate, and safe/professional at the same time.

Steven and Rodrigo were absolutely awesome! Don’t look any further and book with them! They were responsive, made sure we had an amazing time and offered great conversation & hosting throughout the night. They made our anniversary so special and we hope to book them again soon

We had a blast on Steve’s boat! It was my girlfriends birthday so we did a 4 hour sunset cruise - it was perfect. We got to swim, Steve cooked up some amazing steaks, and then sailed around Miami looking at the skyline and sunset. He has a nice galley for making food/drinks when anchored and had comfy chairs to put on the front of the boat for when we set sail. Steve was an awesome captain. We’d highly recommend!

I had a life-changing birthday on the water with Captain Steve. He was so great, kind and generous. If you want to celebrate yourself, this is the way to do it!
- WendellWendell
Great experience all around. Very nice, knowledgeable, and gracious hosts. They clearly love sailing and meeting new people. I’d recommend this adventure to anyone and will likely do it again when we’re back in the area.

Both the boat and Steven are 1st class and I can't recommend both enough. Steven's knowledge of Biscayne Bay enabled us to enjoy the natural beauty of the bay by showing us some of his favorite spots to anchor.

Perfect day. I so appreciate that our captain took extra care to be sure my 94-year-old uncle had a phenomenal day out on the water. They swapped old sailing stories for hours, my uncle took the helm when he could, etc. The boat is in great condition, very comfortable. And our captain was very knowledgeable about the sites we passed, water conditions and more. I truly look forward to another outing on Steven's and Rodrigo's boat.

Steve was the best captain! We had the best time and are already looking to book our next outing! He is accommodating, beyond friendly and fun to hangout with! Also grills a great steak. 😉 His boat is beautiful, well kept and truly a unique experience. Look for further! 🤍

Steven was a fantastic host! He was accommodating and flexible. He not only took us on a great sail but prepared us with a fantastic appetizer spread while we sunned ourselves on the front portion of the boat. The vessel is gorgeous with a spacious cabin underneath. Will definitely be booking again!

Great boat, great captain (Rodrigo) - highly recommend. The swing is a must!
- TedTed
My family and I greatly enjoyed our three-hour sail with Captains Steven and Rodrigo aboard Mystiko on April 1. I appreciated the opportunity to steer the boat through the Stiltsville channel. We also enjoyed a tasty lunch of grilled steak and salmon as well as a refreshing swim off the boat.
- MaxMax
The entire charter was fabulous. James is a great guy and excellent host. The boat was well equipped and impeccably maintained. My guests enjoyed themselves and we expect to charter it again.
- AbrahamAbraham
The sail was great! Rod is a welcoming and easy going captain with a full command of a comfortable boat for 6. He's a fun guy to be with on the water. He caught the vibe of the group and took us to places he knew we would like, including swimming in a neat cove and seeing a picture perfect sunset. Hope to go again soon!
