Every trip is different.  Wind, wave, weather, and marine life offer a wonderful variety throughout the year. We typically sail through Santa Rosa Sound, past the undeveloped shores of the Gulf Island National Seashore, and out into Pensacola Bay.  While we can't guarantee that things are always like this, generally speaking you are most likely to find the following characteristics depending on the time of day:

PUBLIC TRIPS

1:00 PM Fun sail:  The sea breeze has started to pick up for the day.  The sun is at the best angle for catching some rays.  If you want a nice mix of sunshine and pleasant sailing, this is a good choice.

3:30 PM Fun sail:  The afternoon sea breeze will normally be at its maximum on this trip.  You'll have just the right amount of wind for some good sailing but the water will still be flat because of the protection that Santa Rosa Island offers.  This is a good choice for avid sailors or those looking to see what sailing is all about. 


Sunset cruise - 6:00 PM (in season):  The sea breeze slows down as the sun gets low in the sky.  Temperatures are a little cooler, and of course the sunsets can be spectacular.  This is the cruise to take if you want a nice relaxing way to end the day. 
In the off season (roughly October through April) the departure time for the sunset trip varies with the time of sunset.  Please contact us for details.

 



PRIVATE CHARTERS

If you charter the whole boat (six passenger maximum), we can tailor the itinerary to whatever you want (wind and weather permitting).  However, here are some standard trips that we have found work well:

1/2 Day afternoon charter (typically 1:00 PM until 5:00 PM):  A longer sail out towards Fort Pickens is possible on a normal day with a good sea breeze.  We coast along the undeveloped shore of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, sailing past the pristine sand beaches of Santa Rosa Island.

Full day charter (9:00 AM until 5:00 PM):  Bring a picnic lunch and make a day of it.  The morning starts with a sail to Perdido Key, where we anchor for lunch.  Adventurers can swim ashore and explore the ruins of Fort McRae.  The sail back is usually a nice relaxing broad reach.
