Summerwind Sailing Experience

From 2 hour excursions, to extended overnight travel, summerwind offers something for all adventurers

Whether you wish to sail around St. Augustine, Florida or seasonally when we operate from the Virgin Islands…we can accommodate your sailing needs! If you are looking for the adventure of a lifetime, an extended sailing adventure with overnight stay might be for you.

We recommend booking as far in advance as possible, as the Summerwind is extremely busy in the summer, with many weekends booked months in advance. We can accommodate up to six guests on these trips, and the captain and crew can stay ashore for the night (if required, additional expense may apply).

ONE DAY SAILING ADVENTURE

Overnight adventures can simply involve sailing in the historic St. Thomas (U.S. Virgin Islands) or St. Augustine (Florida) area and anchoring or mooring off of downtown or along lovely sandy beaches or in secluded coves. Longer adventures can take between 5-10 hours of ocean sailing each way, so plan on spending a good part of the day sailing off-shore when traveling to other destinations. We can also do a breathtaking overnight sail on the ocean when returning to St. Thomas or St. Augustine for a once in a lifetime experience. On Summerwind you are in command of the schedule, and with meal options ranging from Home-Style Southern cooking to oysters, caviar and Champagne, we have endless customized experiences available for you and your guests. We usually arrive in Fernandina or Cumberland just as the sun sets and in time for dinner at one of the great restaurants.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US

Sailing with Marty was my first experience as an adult sailing off the coast. We had a wonderful trip starting in St Augustine. First, we were given some basic information about the boat and safety, the other crew members and our destination. Then we were off. We sailed up to Amelia Island for most of the day and then docked at Fernandina Beach marina. We had a short walk into downtown and had a wonderful meal. It was also a great way to really get to know the other members of the crew. The next morning we set off and sailed north to Cumberland Island. Once on the island, we explored the ruins, had a nice hike and enjoyed dinner on the boat. The next step was amazing. We headed off into the sunset on the boat and sailed all night. It was truly exhilarating sailing through the night. At all times, I felt safe but the excitement got me hooked on sailing. Marty is honest, helpful, and always cheerful; exactly what you want in a captain.

BRENT T / CUMMING, GA

This past summer my husband and I had an awesome time on Summerwind. The weather was warm so it was a great time sailing to downtown St Augustine and simply grabbing a mooring ball eating a yummy lunch with our family and diving off the back for a refreshing dip. The following day we took the boat several miles out in the ocean with all the sails up, music on in the cabin; a complete escape from work etc. At day’s end we sailed right up to Caps On The Water restaurant for my birthday where we enjoyed a seafood dinner and drinks. We can’t wait to plan another visit aboard Summerwind, It was a complete vacation over only a single weekend. Many thanks.

ELLEN M / DUNWOODY, GA

Sailing with Marty is truly a treat... He and his trusty Yacht are one with the mighty ocean. Years at sea and behind the helm show, and pay off in high seas or calm. But don't get too comfortable because he is always game to teach you the ropes and be sure you are part of the adventure. There is nothing more peaceful and fulfilling than a day at sea with Marty. Thanks for the memories!

Hugh B / MARIETTA, GA

We had such a peaceful experience taking in the joys of the sea while sailing with Marty. He was willing to let us take on roles to help sail the boat (and willing to let us fail, too!) We brought along our two little children (2.5 years and 10 months) and they enjoyed playing below deck and seeing the beautiful scenery sailing by. We were grateful for Marty’s expertise, generosity and passion for sailing!

Claire L / DAPHNE, AL

I've sailed with Captain Marty several times and it was a joy. One of the trips was a longer sail from Puerto Rico to Saint Augustine, Florida in May, 2013. We had a great time and I felt totally comfortable with Marty as our Captain. His sailing and navigating experience made me feel very at ease while on the water - he is a safety conscious sailor. I would give the trip 5 stars!

Jim D / ATLANTA, GA

Being a novice on boats, this was a very exciting time for me. Marty and the crew made me feel very comfortable aboard the Yacht. We sailed down the Cooper River, under the incredible Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge and into Charleston Harbor. I enjoyed seeing the USS Yorktown and the submarines. The view of the city of Charleston and the historic homes was amazing! Marty is very knowledgeable about historic sites. Seeing Fort Sumter from the water was also a memorable experience. I would rate this sail as 5 stars

ALLISAN M / DULUTH, GA

My family and I have sailed many times over the last ten years with Marty and his crews including wonderful afternoons off the coast of St. Augustine. We have had many fabulous overnight trips to places like Fernandina Beach and Cumberland Island. Summerwind is a beautiful Yacht and she sails like a dream. Some our family’s greatest moments have been sailing on Summerwind with the sails up on a beautiful day with gentle breezes moving along the ocean effortlessly. We strive to create lifelong memories with our family by having experiences together and a day on Summerwind is an unforgettable experience. We give Summerwind and the amazing crew 5 stars and can’t wait for our next sailing Adventure.
