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!

Super enjoyed the experience and appreciated the communication about the day rescheduled - We were three sisters and their husbands from land locked Minnesota and Manitoba. We were to sail on the Thursday but it was the sketchiest weather of the week. We were up in the air about whether we should reschedule til Friday. We received a very thorough and friendly email saying that they advised to reschedule to Friday if we could as the weather would be too bad on the Thursday to get out into the Bay. That is what we did and we had a fabulous time. Both the captain and mate were very friendly, knowledgeable and patient with our questions. We would totally recommend the experience to others. It was a blast, reasonably priced and the communication was stellar.

Amazing Sailing Trip - So much fun! The best thing we did during our Clearwater vacation. Highly recommend. We will be booking this again next trip. Calm, relaxing, and peaceful. The boat had plenty of space. It wasn’t crowded, you could move around freely. I brought a bottle of wine and enjoyed it during the sail. Perfect!!

wonderful few hours on the water. - Captain Tim was cool, calm and collected despite having a "near miss" with another tour boat coming directly at us in the channel starting our trip. Captain Tim remained calm and "hit the gas" to get his vessel and passengers out of harms way. The remainder of the trip was uneventful and a very pleasurable sail. Would highly recommend this vessel.

Even better the second time around! - We returned to the Schooner Clearwater after having a great time last year. We were not disappointed. Captain Mark, Cory & Tim provided a phenomenal sailing experience for an extremely reasonable price.
We departed just before 5:00, hoisted the sails 15 minutes later & sailed into the sunset for the next two hours
The wind was perfect & the crew provided us with sparkling water & ice for our wine. They were so accommodating; even took lots of pictures for us. I highly recommend this tour!❤️⛵️
