Sailing Pensacola

Brightly colored sails dot the horizon and catamarans skim effortlessly across the rippling waters on Perdido Bay, Santa Rosa Sound, and Pensacola Bay.

You want to be part of that. We get it. Swaying back and forth, wind swirling around your head, powered by your own hands navigating that breeze. What's not to love?

You don’t have to join a yacht club or even own a boat to enjoy the salty life. Sailing excursions, sunset charters, and even sailboat and catamaran lessons and rentals give you a chance to connect yourself with nature.
