Private New Orleans 2-Hour Sail Aboard a Luxury Yacht

Private New Orleans 2-Hour Sail Aboard a Luxury Yacht

Overview

Escape the ordinary, just 8 miles from the French Quarter! Relax and leave your cares behind while you explore the lake side of New Orleans on a private 2 hour sail. Hop aboard a 47' luxury Beneteau sailboat called "Roux Stir", named for our love of a heartwarming New Orleans gumbo. Maximum 6 guests please.

Once onboard, all guests receive complimentary white wine, local craft beer, and light snacks. Listen to the boat glide through the water or enjoy your favorite tunes via Spotify.

Enjoy a 2 hour invigorating sail on the Southshore of historic & expansive Lake Pontchartrain, where you may spot a brown pelican flying overhead, and see the longest bridge in the world over water, the Causeway.

Captain Doug, a local New Orleanian with a passion for sailing, will ensure your safety. All proper safety equipment, life vests, and clean restrooms onboard.

My wife and I decided to try out the New Orleans Yacht Experience for a date night. I can't say enough good things about this attraction. Captain Doug was happy to answer my endless questions about the sailboat and Rena went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and having a good time. The sunset was absolutely amazing on historic lake Pontchartrain! We would highly recommend the 2 hour sunset sail to anyone looking for a relaxing trip that will provide some excellent camera opportunities and bring you closer to your loved ones.

We were lucky enough to reserve a 2 hour private sunset sail aboard the lovely Roux Stir with Captain Doug and his Cruise Director, Rena, the most charming couple you ever wanted to meet (truly!). Neither one of us had ever been on a yacht or sailboat before, so to see our beloved New Orleans from historic Lake Pontchartrain, while noshing on delicious snacks and celebrating with a nice glass of wine...I am not sure if there are eloquent enough words to say what a relaxing all the while still thrilling adventure it was!! If you are visiting the French Quarter (they will pick you up and bring you back!) or have lived here all of your life and just want to see New Orleans in a whole new way, do yourselves a favor and take a sailing tour...New Orleans Yacht Experience is where it's at, y'all! We did sunset sail but I am so ready for a day sail with our whole family!
