2-Hour Getaway Sail

Relaxed, Scenic, and Great for Beginners

This shorter trip is perfect for couples, families with kids, or anyone who just wants to get out on the water for a bit. Depending on sea conditions, we’ll sail through Perdido Pass and out into the Gulf of America, or stay in the calmer, protected bay area if winds are high.

You’ll see the Perdido Pass Bridge, the jetties, and a view of the beach from the Gulf side. It's a beautiful, peaceful way to enjoy the water without committing your whole day.

4-Hour Adventure Sail

Set the Sails and Watch the Coast Drift By

If you’re looking to stretch out, this trip offers more sailing time, more dolphin spotting, and more relaxation. We’ll sail past Orange Beach and possibly toward Gulf Shores or the Florida line, depending on the wind and your preferences.

We’ll set full sail, get the snacks out, and enjoy tunes from the onboard entertainment system. The captain is always happy to let kids (or curious adults) take the helm, explain how sailing works, or simply keep things laid back while you enjoy the ride.

Want to swim mid-Gulf? Just say the word.

All-Day Charter Sailing

Unplug and Sail from Sunrise to Sunset

For the ultimate experience, book a full-day private charter. Departing at 9:00 AM, this trip gives you a chance to explore Sand Island, cruise the Intracoastal Waterway, and enjoy a private beach lunch with views you can’t get from land.

We’ll pass behind Ono Island, past the iconic Flora-Bama, and into Pensacola Pass, where dolphins often play in the shallows. After swimming, shelling, or napping on deck, we’ll sail back as the sun begins to set, wrapping the day with your own private sunset on the water.

This is the trip for those who want to disconnect and savor every hour.

What to Bring

We keep things simple. You’re welcome to bring:

  • Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat

  • Towel and bathing suit (especially for longer sails)

  • Your favorite playlist (Bluetooth and aux input available)

  • Special drinks or snacks

  • Soft-sided cooler only

  • Camera for the views (and dolphins!)

We’ll provide bottled water, Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, peanuts, chips, and other light snacks — but you’re welcome to bring your favorites. For longer sails, we can also arrange lunch or breakfast on board by request.

Sunset Charter

Unwind with the Most Peaceful Trip on the Water

There’s nothing quite like a sunset sail along the Alabama Gulf Coast. Our private 2.5-hour Sunset Sailing Charter is the perfect way to end your day — gliding across the water with the wind in your hair, a cool drink in hand, and the sky lit up in stunning shades of orange and pink.

Whether you’re planning a romantic evening, celebrating an anniversary, or simply looking to unwind, our sunset cruises are the ideal way to enjoy the beauty of Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, Fort Morgan, or Perdido Key from a whole new perspective.

A Private Sailing Experience to Remember

Each charter is private and completely yours — no crowds, no interruptions, just your group of up to 6 guests, the open water, and the setting sun. Let our experienced captain handle the sailing while you relax, reconnect, and take in the breathtaking views.

You’ll cruise in comfort aboard one of our luxurious sailing yachts, designed for smooth gliding and panoramic visibility. Sunset sailing has long been one of the most beloved activities on the Gulf of America — and it’s easy to see why.
