A nature sail on our catamaran charter in Jacksonville
Our catamaran charter in Jacksonville is a slow, peaceful sail along the Intracoastal Waterway. The 35-foot sailing catamaran takes up to 6 guests, so it suits families, couples and small groups of friends. Meanwhile, your USCG-licensed captain handles the sails, the route and the docking.
We call it our Nature Sailing Package, because the waterway is full of wildlife. Keep watch for dolphins, manatees, brown pelicans, ospreys, roseate spoonbills and, now and then, a bald eagle. Two hulls also keep the boat level, so the ride stays calm even for first-time sailors.
You can add a destination stop as well. Dock at a popular local restaurant for lunch, or drop anchor in a quiet spot and take in the marsh at your own pace. Every sail leaves from Palm Cove Marina just off Beach Boulevard. For more ideas nearby, see our Jacksonville Beach page.
