- 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!

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!

Soothing activity - So relaxing, just what I needed. It was a beautiful day, the group was small and Captain Tim and Christopher were great hosts. Would recommend if you want a quiet soothing activity.

Great Experience on Real Sailboat!! - Captain Tim and his trusty mates gave us a great time! The water was somewhat rocky so we didn’t go into the gulf but Cpn Tim sailed around the bay. We saw dolphins even though it is not their running season. It was so neat watching Christian, a journeyman sailor, handle all the sails himself with Cpn Tims’s directions.
Don’t pass this up!!
This a small operation that is very attentive to their guests.
If you don’t want an overcrowded party boat then this is the sailboat for you!
5 star experience!!

Relaxing and enjoyable way to spend an evening in Clearwater Beach - Thanks to Captain Tim and First Mate Christian, this sunset cruise was a truly memorable experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable way to spend an evening in Clearwater Beach.
The boat was clean and comfortable, offering plenty of space to relax and enjoy the stunning views. Captain Tim navigated smoothly, finding the perfect spot for us to witness the sunset.

Magical Sunset Experience - We booked the sunset sail on Sunday 26th January. It was a beautiful evening and Tim and Christian were excellent hosts. The schooner is beautiful and it is a magical experience. We monitored out the harbour and then Captain Tim and Christian set all 4 sails and you drift along at 5 or 6 knots in the evening breeze.
Wine and beer and snacks can be brought on board. Tim was happy to share his knowledge of sailing and his experience on Captaining large vessels will leave all sailors feeling very secure.
The sailing last just over 2 hours, we saw the sun set and blankets provided by the team to keep all warm once the sun was down. the dolp[hins even joined us as we sailed back to the marina
If you wish to see a sunset from Clearwater then I suggest you look no further that the Schooner. Just magical
