THE YACHT

A Classic 42‑Foot Sailing Yacht

Althea is a classic 42-foot sailing yacht designed by Robert Perry, offering the kind of stable, graceful platform that makes sunset-watching comfortable and scenic.

THE VIEW

Downtown St. Pete as the Sun Slips Away

The cruise places the downtown skyline front and center as daylight fades—an extended golden hour during which city lights begin to glitter against the evening sky.

THE SERVICE

Private, Relaxed, and Attentive Crew

A U.S. Coast Guard–licensed captain and mate run the two-hour private charter, keeping the experience relaxed and focused on comfort while providing complimentary soft drinks, bottled water, and light hors d’oeuvres.

What It Feels Like

Departing from Demens Landing, this easygoing evening sail is built around the slow arc of sunset: boarding at the downtown ramp, a relaxed cruise with a licensed captain and mate, and two hours aboard a private yacht with refreshments and hors d’oeuvres as downtown transforms into an evening skyline.
