A two-hour outing on S/V Lemonade— a Catalina 25—offers an intimate way to experience the waters around Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island. Designed for just 1–4 people, the sail lets you lean back and watch the wind do the work or to step in and help trim sails; either approach fits this short, social cruise.

THE BOAT

Catalina 25: Small, Responsive, Personal

Lemonade is a Catalina 25 tailored for small groups; its compact size makes for an immediate connection to the boat and the water, ideal for shared time with friends or a partner.

THE FORMAT

Two Hours — Relax or Participate

The sail is intentionally short and flexible: you can sit back and relax or take an active role in sailing. The format suits people who want a taste of hands-on sailing without a full-day commitment.

THE SCALE

Intimate Group Size

With sails limited to groups of 1–4 people, this outing is built around small-party dynamics—good for couples, close friends, or anyone seeking a quieter time on the water.

What the Two-Hour Sail Feels Like

From boarding to return, the outing is compact and focused: a brief check-in, a short passage on a Catalina 25, then a return—an easily digestible sail that balances leisure and the chance to handle lines. The small crew size keeps the experience personal; whether you choose to be hands-off or help with trimming sails, the format accommodates both.
