Yes, you can bring your dog. 🐶🤍

One question we get asked is:

“Can our dog come sailing with us?”

Most of the time, the answer is yes. Please do!

We love welcoming four-legged family members aboard. 😍

Just let us know before booking your charter so we can confirm it’s the right fit for your four-legged family member.

Because adventures are even better with wagging tails. 🐾⛵️

These mean a lot to us. 🫶🏼

We don’t talk about reviews much, but they are one of the most valuable things our guests can do for us, a real look at what a day on the water with us actually feels like, in their own words.

We love getting to know every guest who steps aboard, and moments like these are why, thank you!

If you haven’t sailed with us yet, you can find more on Google, Facebook, TripAdvisor, and Yelp. And if you have, we’d love to hear from you too.

Sunshine, mimosas, your favorite people, and nowhere to be but on the water. 🥂☀️💍

This sweet bachelorette group from Texas joined us for a Half-Day Charter to celebrate the bride, and it was everything a summer day should be! Laughing, swimming at anchor, lounging on the water hammock, soaking up the sunshine, and making the perfect girlfriend memories! Oh and we saw dolphins! 🐬

Our Half-Day Charter includes four hours on the water, a complimentary charcuterie board, and mimosas to start the celebration.

Here’s to the bride, lifelong friendships, and more days like this. ✨
