4 hour cruise with instruction $400

We offer an introductory sailing experience with a trained instructor. This is not a comprehensive course with a book and classroom approach. It is a fun, hands on, sailing experience. You are taken out to the protected waters of Sarasota bay and given a chance to take the helm of a sailboat, perform a few basic maneuvers, and just play with the wind. You'll understand the difference between a main and a genoa, a sheet and a halyard, and why it's as important to know the depth of our waters as much as the height of those bridges surrounding our bay. 

Captain Chuck is a licensed USCG master captain with over 40 years of sailing and boating experience. Sailing with Latitude Sailing is a “hands on” learning experience that is lots of fun geared to introduce you to new adventures and help you grow your sea legs and your love of sailing.

Sailing is one of the most challenging yet relaxing sports. Make your desires come true; start now and see if it’s for you! 

A maximum of two students will be allowed per outing for a more focused experience.
