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.

My wife and I had a wonderful evening sail on the Schooner Clearwater! Because it was a fairly windy day, we were under sail as soon as we got on the open water and reached a speed of almost 8 knots. We also had the added bonus of seeing dolphins. Captain Mark and Zach provided us with an amazing experience. We'll be back!

Hi joewoj1964, You chose an amazing evening to sail with us..., it was an active sailing adventure, (especially for First Mate Zach)! Seeing the pod of dolphins right along side our vessel is always a treat. We are so grateful to you for providing a 5 star review on Tripadvisor! Fairwinds..., until we meet again ;)

Went out for a birthday sail and it exceeded our expectations. The crew was so personable and we had the perfect sailing conditions. Mark even recommended a great restaurant for after the sail (The Bait House) that we found as a wonderful end to our night. Note! You can bring your own snacks and alcohol on board too!

We scheduled a full 20 person birthday charter a month out and paid the $1500. We were going back and forth via email to finalize the menu, seemed to be going well, we had a lot of questions. A week out, they asked for the payment on the menu and final head count. We said we would be using the full 20, but were not sure of the adult/child mix as individual schedules were still being confirmed. We gave tentative numbers. They wanted payment of the final food invoice ($500) which went to my junk mail, so paid it a day later... They cancelled saying that they didn't feel comfortable with the children (yet we discussed from the beginning, and their site says kids), that we didn't pay, and that the phone number we provided was invalid (with emails almost daily, they never mentioned that they tried to call)... Their coordinator would never be able to make it it any other industry with such poor customer service, lack of patience, and the inability to address their customer's questions and changes as plans are being finalized. I still haven't gotten my money back, but assume it just takes a little time. We scheduled with another charter that was much easier to work with.

We understand..., it was an unintended outcome for all. We take great pride in providing a comfortable and safe special event atmosphere while sailing on board our sailboat the Schooner Clearwater. A number of details come in to play from both the individual wishing to hold their event on our vessel and from our end. To ensure all particulars have been met in a timely manner prior to departure according to USCG Federal regulations we work diligently to meet deadlines. Unfortunately there were 3 different persons handling your event on and off throughout the planning stages, which created an inconsistent dialogue of change for over 4 weeks. As we approached your event 2 weeks out then 10 days out your requests continued to be inconsistent with one another. It became clear that we were not going to ever be exactly sure of your needs and who would be attending your event etc. It was decided after receiving an email that the original person handling the event wished to cancel, it was in everyones best interest to move forward with the cancellation. After spending much time and providing our professional input, it was not a decision that we were pleased with but sadly knew it was the right decision in this one instance.
