THE ROUTE

Sail South Bay for a Private Four-Hour Loop

This private charter runs for roughly four hours and keeps the focus on relaxed sailing across South Bay—ample time to move under sail, find a calm spot to anchor, and take a dip without the rush of a longer excursion.

THE EXPERIENCE

Anchor, Swim, Repeat

The itinerary includes anchoring for swimming off the boat, making the charter part cruise and part shoreline-free beach day—bring a swimsuit to take advantage of the waterstop.

THE OCCASION

Private and Personal—Great for Gatherings

Framed as a private charter, this outing is suited to special occasions and team outings where privacy and a shared, relaxed experience matter; light snacks and refreshments are part of the offering.

What the day feels like

What the Half-Day Feels Like

Expect a compact, unhurried rhythm: board and head out into South Bay, settle under sail, choose a sheltered spot to drop anchor and swim, then enjoy snacks and refreshments as the boat drifts. Four hours is long enough for a proper sail and a leisurely swim without committing to a full-day outing.
