- Clearwater Beach - Once you book your tickets, check your email for instructions to ensure a carefree visit with us. Meet at Clearwater Beach Municipal Marina. Check in 45 minutes prior to your scheduled departure at our ticket booth to receive your boarding pass(s). We pre board all passengers for a safety talk and then throw the lines off exactly at departure time! As we motor out of the Marina our First Mate will work on raising our sails. We then navigate Clearwater Pass between the barrier islands of Sand Key and Clearwater Beach to head offshore :) Once outside of the Clearwater Pass the Captain will shut down the engine and we will be completely under sail power. It is a unique and beautiful perspective of Clearwater Beach offshore. You may even catch a glimpse of Bottlenose Dolphins feeding or at play in the wake of our Schooner!

This was a day to remember!! - The sailing trip on the Schooner was very wonderful. It was so relaxing. The captain and first mate were such nice gentlemen. I took a bottle of wine and several bottles of water. When my Sweetheart and I checked in they said I should give them my wine and water and they would put it into an ice bucket reserved just for us. I thought that was a great gesture. While onboard the music and beautiful view was perfect. We saw several Dolphins as well. I would love to do the cruise again. I live in Clearwater and this cruise reminded me that I live in Paradise.

Proposal on a real Sailboat ⛵️ - The check-in was easy and the service was exceptional. We were surprised to find a gorgeous sailboat, not some plastic tourist vessel. It was equipped with standard, padded boat seating and beanbag style bags on the deck under the sails that, duh… we chose. Perfect for tanning and lounging with flexible BYOB policies. Upon check-in, your beverages are checked and iced where they are waiting for you wonderfully on board.
The staff was incredible. Captain Tim was fun, entertaining and knowledgeable, while his first mate not only looked like a runway model from France, but had the professionalism and poise of someone who had worked on a yacht.
We came on board as Tampa locals for a proposal. We had been on multiple dinner cruises, catamarans and others, and found this activity to be posh and relaxing. They graciously accommodated our quick proposal and we brought chilled Rosè and champagne flutes for the guests.
The vessel sailed throughout the Clearwater channels and briefly out into the golf along the Clearwater Beach Shoreline. It was a perfect way to view not only the golf, including Clearwater Beach and Sand Key with the Treasure Island shoreline filled with dolphins and sometimes manatees, but to get firsthand views of multimillion dollar homes including of Tom Brady, Hulk, Hogan, Tom Cruise and others. Sunset sailings at an even more magical touch to this already luxurious sailboat cruise.
We’d highly recommend this to any tourist or Florida local. The views from the boat are exceptional and the amount of time is just right.

Wonderful - We had the absolute best time. Ended up that our original booking time was cancelled and they offered us a spot on their sunset sail later in the day. We enjoyed every bit of it. It was relaxing, the sunset was gorgeous, and everything was just perfect.

Smooth sailing - This was pretty great… our beach rental check out time was 10 and our flight was scheduled for in the evening… we shopped and had some lunch and chose to sail last… such a perfect ending to a wonderful vacation. Captain Steve and First Mate Christian make sure you’re comfortable and teach a little bit about sailing. Loved it and would like to do it again someday!
