- 228lillyh0 contributions3 hour ocean sailDid a 3 hour ocean sail with 6 friends. We all had a great time! The captain was great! It was really special to get out into the ocean and see the city from the coast. This is my fourth sail with St. Augustine Sail and each time has been wonderful! Highly recommend!Written 11 February 2025
- LauMar840 contributionsSee the Lights at Night on a SailboatThe view at night from the water is breath-taking! So worth it! A must do! We were on Wind Dancer which was a lovely 40' Cat sailboat. Loved it!Written 30 December 2024
- michaelmUS60 contributionsSt. Augustine Sailing is the best!Rose Ann and the Captain did a wonderful job making this a memorable experience for our family. We highly recommend St. Augustine Sailing!Written 29 December 2024
- Maps533800 contributionsBest view for nights of lights without the crowdAmazing staff and a very nice evening cruise to see the nights of lights without all the crowds. Lisa and Kevin were knowledgeable about the area and helpful about tips and tricks of what to do and see. Our teenage son enjoyed the interior cabin while we enjoyed the outdoor seating. It was a nice small group and enjoyable to experience an evening cruise in St. Augustine.Written 28 December 2024
- edwardwK8631PQ0 contributionsGreat experienceThe view of the lights was terrific Dale and Dan were great. I would do it again and highly recommend it. Certainly glad that we had the experience.Written 28 December 2024
- LauMar840 contributionsDon’t Miss Taking a Night SailWe had an exceptional time seeing the lights at night on the beautiful 40’ Wind Dancer! The lights were gorgeous and our Captain and Crew did a super job moving between the many boats in the harbor so we could get some fantastic photos! This is a must do if you are in the area during the Nights of Lights!Written 25 December 2024
- tyd7170 contributionsA night we will always remember!Saint Augustine Sailing made an already special night even more unforgettable. I had planned a Nights of Lights cruise to propose to my girlfriend (now fiancée), and their team went above and beyond to help make everything seamless and stress-free. From the start, the staff was incredibly helpful and patient. When I called to book, Isla answered all of my (many) questions and helped me arrange champagne, cocktails, and treats for the cruise. She even took the time earlier in the day to show me the 35-foot sailboat I’d booked so I could plan out where and how I wanted to propose. The boat was spotless, well-maintained, and perfect for the evening ahead. As the day went on, the winds started to pick up, and I got a call from Isla letting me know the conditions might prevent us from sailing. She laid out all of my options and was so reassuring, which made a stressful situation feel manageable. I decided to hope for the best, and she kept in touch with updates. Just a couple of hours before we were set to leave, I got a text from her asking me to call her. Naturally, I panicked, thinking the worst—but when I called, she had great news. Not only had the winds started to calm, but the team decided to upgrade us to their 40-foot double catamaran at no extra cost to make sure we’d have the best experience possible. I was blown away by their generosity and how much they cared about making the night special. The crew onboard was amazing. The captain and first mate were welcoming and attentive without being intrusive, striking the perfect balance. It was a chilly evening, and they brought us blankets to stay warm. They even offered to take photos during the proposal, which turned out beautifully and captured the moment perfectly. This was a night we’ll always remember, thanks to the team at Saint Augustine Sailing. They truly went the extra mile to make everything feel effortless and special. If you’re considering a sailing experience, I can’t recommend them enough.Written 23 December 2024
- 513willf0 contributionsAmazing adventure!My Girlfriend and I had an amazing time. It was the two of us and my service dog. They took incredible care of us and were more than accommodating. We originally booked one tour, but they called back to let us know there would be more space on the last cruise of the night. It just so happens it was just the two of us. We will definitely do it again.Written 17 December 2024
- Richard U D H0 contributionsPerfect eveningVery nice experience for a perfect weekend. We felt everything was well planned and organized. Never felt rushed when it came to looking at the lights.Written 15 December 2024
- sgt0 contributionsPerfect Night of Light aboard "Sunset Sail" of St AugustineNot as expected - Better than!!. The reception area was ready and the Capt. Chris and mate Joe were more than just tour boat operators, Just 5 of us were guided to a clean, spacious Catamaran with very nice seating arrangements. We purchased very economical Wine and Beer. We had the run of the boat by ourselves. The tour of the Lights was just amazing. The Capt. made multiple passes, we stood at the rails, and were treated as VIP members. Bathroom (Head), Decks, forward areas were just perfect. Perfect Excursion on a perfect evening in St. Augustine. Yes!!! I WOULD Do It AGAIN. Merry ChristmasWritten 13 December 2024

It was fantastic. The Chef was delightful...his food even better. The Captain and her first Mate were also terrific. We really had a first class evening with this group. We will do it again and we would recommend this to anyone. Above and beyond expectations!!!!Written 1 December 2024

We had the most amazing brunch sail with Chuck and RoseAnn just a few days ago. And where do I start?! From the moment you step on the boat to the time you get off, you are treated like royalty. RoseAnn greeted us with champagne or mimosas and there was a full spread of pastries, fruits (with banana dolphins!), yogurts, juices, etc all waiting for us when we boarded. Chuck and RoseAnn explained everything very thoroughly and then we were off on the water! The boat is a dream! It’s complete luxury! Everything is very comfortable, there’s plenty of room to accommodate many people, and we never felt unsafe. Chuck was a brilliant captain, pointing out various sights and spotting playful dolphins for us to enjoy. My husband and son enjoyed learning about sailing from him and Chuck let one of our sons steer for a bit. RoseAnn was so busy making a delicious brunch and taking care of all of us. There was SO MUCH food! Eggs Benedict, delicious potatoes, literally an overflowing tray of bacon! We were stuffed and food just kept coming. Truly, you cannot go wrong booking with St. Augustine Sailing. They go well above the bar to make your experience incredible! Please don’t hesitate to book any type of sail with these lovely people.

We were celebrating our 50th anniversary and our family booked a brunch cruise with St. Augustine Sailing. We were greeted by our chef as we boarded with champagne and mimosas and a beautiful display of fruit, yogurt and other goodies. The Captain said we could just relax or we could help sail the vessel if we would like. Our next course was Eggs Benedict which was delicious with bacon and the best grilled potatoes wedges. A beautiful part of the cruise was watching a family of Dolphins including the babies swim around the boat and they did something we had never seen in the wild before, they jumped completely out of the water and did back flips. The Catamaran was beautiful and had all the amenities to make for a comfortable cruise. We enjoyed the trip so much that we want to schedule another cruise as soon as we can. Thanks to the entire staff at at St. Augustine Sailing for our wonderful experience.

Hi we are looking to do something like this for a friends bachelorette trip. I was wondering if we would be allowed to bring drink or if they are prohibited.
