Sailing is What We’re All About!
If you’re an experienced sailor, we invite you to use one of our sailboats included in your cottage rental at no additional charge. There’s no better way to relax and enjoy the Keys.
Plus we have an onsite American Sailing Academy (ASA) Sailing School to advance your sailing, or you can just get a taste of sailing with our 2 hour Intro to Sailing.
Our sloop-rigged 22’ Catalina sailboats are perfect for cruising the calm waters of Florida Bay. Just grab your cooler, walk to our dock, and point the bow at the horizon.
We offer approximately 30 square miles of bay side water surface to sail, which includes no less than 3 specific destinations with straight runs of up to 6 nautical miles – one way. All of our sailing area is within the confines of the pristine Florida bay, Everglades National Park and parts of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary protects 2,900 square nautical miles of waters surrounding the Florida Keys, from south of Miami westward to encompass the Dry Tortugas.
A thorough brief and chart orientation is given the morning after your arrival, followed by a walk-through familiarization with the boat you will be using. You must be able to confidently handle the vessel; if you have any doubt as to your ability, please contact Cap’n G to discuss your maritime experience. We offer a variety of instruction options that can be tailored to meet your specific needs.
