SAILING CHARTERS & ADVENTURES
Our crews love hosting guests on charters and will be happy to share their sailing experience, local and environmental knowledge, and even teach a few sailing terms and skills.
Create Your Sailing Charter Adventure…
Booking a Sailing Charter doesn’t need to be overwhelming. We break it down to a few easy steps. Our team is always available to guide you with advice to make the memories of a lifetime.
Choose from sleek monohull sailboats or comfortable sailing catamarans to enjoy the comfort of up to 4 cabins, generous bathrooms, and full galleys. Our boats are perfectly matched to the beauty and serenity of sailing, with plenty of space for both relaxing and exciting experiences.
Paddleboards and other ocean toys offer entertainment for everyone on board. When at anchor, the 11' tender will easily get you to shore for exploration. Once off the dock, the possibilities are endless. You’ll soon discover that live slows to a slower pace aboard a sailing vessel. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the simple life.
Where would you like to go? Check out the destinations featured on our website. But keep in mind that we can sail anywhere reachable by water from Key West to Miami.
Now the fun part begins, and the options are endless! What will YOUR sailing charter adventure look like? A sunset toast under full sail? Snorkeling in the crystal waters of the reef line? Exploring uninhabited islands? Or how about a culinary adventure at sea?
