What To Expect

Clearwater Beach
Meet at Clearwater Beach Municipal Marina. Mandatory 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! We stay out for the sunset surprise, which is a different display every evening. As the Schooner Clearwater heads back in to the Marina, darkness is slowly upon us drenched in fantastic memories.
Cancellation Policy
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

This was overall a great and fun experience. for the rate I / we had expected at least libations, of the Florida tradition. A simple cocktail to endless rum runners. We have been on other cruises that offered such. The sailing experience was great and I would do this again, however as a sunset cruse I would prefer one with adult refreshments especially for the rate per person compared to what we experienced in Dunedin. The Captain was informative and fun to intermingle with, the sailing experience was fantastic, however it was out and back with narration of sailing, buy little involvement with the entire guest aboard and lastly it's a sunset cruise, lets treat the guest to something as simple as an adult libation weather that person wishes to partake or not.

Thank you for taking the time to review your visit with us on Tripadvisor. So happy you had an overall great experience. Since we market ourselves as a "TRUE SAILING EXPERIENCE" our objective is sailing and sailing well. ;))) If you are looking for a booze cruise we are not that sort of activity. Our guests are treated to a seasoned USCG certified Master of Oceans Captain at the helm of a custom built Schooner to enjoy the fine art of sailing on the Gulf Coast. We do not have a set script for our Captain and crew to read. They love getting to know their passengers and enjoy discussing everything from sailing to marine life and local restaurants. First and foremost they are using the the wind and currents to sail a 23 ton yacht safely. So everytime we leave the dock it is a new and fresh sailing adventure! "You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don't make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can't take their eyes off of you." - Maya Angelou

The sunset cruise was amazing. Captain Mark and Mate Kyle were super-skilled and very friendly. Even though the boat was fully booked, it did not feel at all crowded. Once under sail, it was so quiet and relaxing, with beautiful views. I would recommend this to anyone as a fun way to experience the local waters. The online booking was easy as was check-in.
