An Insider’s Viewpoint

“This is our second charter with Waypoints and we could not be more satisfied. Availability and pricing were clear, communication was prompt, and the staff was knowledgeable and nice. The Vinoy Marina is very convenient to a couple of airports so the crew had no problem coming in from all over the country. We think Waypoints is the best charter company available and already have another trip booked for January in St. Thomas!” Jim K.

“The entire team from the Waypoint dock manager, office staff, and dock hands as well as mechanics went above and beyond to make us have a great experience. Sailing Sereia changed me… it was such an incredible trip . With tears in my eyes, I left the boat and I have been counting the days until I can go back and sail her again. We loved all the crew we came in contact with – thank you again!” Constance M.

“We had a great experience with Waypoints Florida Yacht Charters! We spent four days in Florida on Leap of Faith and had a great time. It was our first sailing adventure. We explored Tampa Bay, Anna Maria, Egmont, Bradenton and Palma Sola. It was a great escape! “ Mark L.

3 days. If you cancel within 3 days of departure, 100% of your booking price will be charged. If the captain must cancel due to weather, there is no charge to you.

We do this full time and this is our livelihood year round. Many other operators are seasonal, retired, or owners just trying to pay for their personal expenses of owning a boat. Our vessel is documented and registered under our business’s LLC and used solely for business operation. Many have paid Captains who do not have the same expectations of quality that us as owner/operators have. We take your satisfaction personally.

Only during extremely cold weather are boat shoes acceptable. I’ll email the day of if shoes are ok. Otherwise, we require bare feet. We don’t wear shoes in our home and we don’t wear shoes on our yacht. You won’t find a cleaner charter vessel in all of Tampa Bay. (We’re neat freaks!) Lick the bottom of your shoes in front of me and I’ll allow them aboard.

Yes. Soft-sided coolers only. Red wine or other staining beverages are NOT allowed. If your cooler is large and has wheels and handlebars, it’s too big and NOT allowed. Glass bottles are OK. Glass stemware (wine glasses) NOT OK. Drinking is encouraged, but getting sloppy drunk is not.

Yes, but please… no items that are greasy, drippy, or saucy. Remember, this is a sailboat and there is wind. Light weight items (lids, plastic, paper) will want to fly out of your hands. Finger foods rule. Leave the refrigerator at home. We recommend beverages only. For a no-fuss snack onboard, add our “Luxury Picnic Package” at checkout and let us handle it for you.

No. Our vessel is not equipped to handle the needs of a non human aboard. A monkey bit me once during a sail

The half day, 1/4 day, and sunset cruises sail in Tampa Bay, mostly near downtown St. Petersburg  and in the waters between Tampa and the Skyway Bridge. We are usually never farther than a few miles from shore at any time.

If it is raining or the winds are sustained over 25 mph, we will cancel the cruise and try to reschedule if possible. If during our cruise we have to come back early due to weather, we will prorate the charge. Please trust the Captain’s decision when it comes to weather or conditions. Safety of our guests and the vessel are top priority.

No. 6 Maximum as per Coast Guard regulations. Even if we had a 60′ vessel, still regulated to 6 passengers unless vessel is purposely built for commercial use and is issued a C.O.I. (Certificate of Inspection). Yes.. a small child or infant has a soul (most of the time) and counts as a person.

We see dolphins 90% of the time but cannot guarantee it. Barking like a dog or monkey sounds do attract dolphins. Pelican sightings are guaranteed.

Weather in St. Pete

Always keep in mind the weather when planning your yacht rental experience. St. Petersburg is an ideal location for a yacht charter, either while on vacation or “staycation” because of the wonderful weather patterns.

While it may rain frequently in St. Pete, the storms are almost always scattered and very short in duration, oftentimes only lasting a few minutes and then the sun is shining again. If you're traveling to St. Pete in the cooler months of the year, be sure to pack some layers to wear while on your yachting trip, especially if you plan to go yachting in the evening. If you're traveling during the summer months, remember to stay hydrated and take some extra precautions when it comes to sun care.

When planning to rent a yacht in St. Pete, your Captain will keep an eye on the weather patterns. The Captain will warn you of any weather that could cause your yacht charter to be canceled, rescheduled, or departure time pushed back. Safety is always our top priority.

Looking for an adventure, try our egmont key excursion.

More Info...

As we depart the marina, It’s a short motor out of Bayboro Harbor and into Tampa Bay. We will hoist the sails and set off toward the famous Sunshine Skyway Bridge. It’s about a 2-hour sail until we pass under the monstrous 430-foot high bridge, continuing on for another hour before we reach Egmont Key. At any time, a dolphin, manatee, turtle, ray, or shark can make an appearance.

Upon arrival, your captain will drop anchor and prepare the dinghy for the short shuttle ride to the beach. Once on shore, you’ll find this enchanted island paradise is packed with surprises. Tortoises, Ruins, a Lighthouse, and the most beautiful beach you’ll ever see! This excursion will make you feel like you’re sailing to a remote Bahamas island.

After 2 hours of exploring, the captain will pick you up and bring you back to the yacht. We will then begin to make our way back, once again sailing under the Sunshine Skyway bridge.

If you have chosen to return in the evening, you will be greeted with the most amazing view of the setting sun as we approach St. Petersburg. Your captain will set the boat up for the perfect sunset photo before it disappears over the horizon. We will then drop the sails and motor back into the marina, just in time for you and your party to grab a late dinner in one of the many downtown St. Petersburg restaurants.

This is a full day of Sailing and Exploring. The natural beauty of Florida will be on full display and it will surely be a day your family will never forget.

Owner Nick and Captain Chris were the perfect team to help my aging father take a last sail on a Morgan yacht. My father had lived and sailed the Atlantic onboard a Morgan 41 for several years in the late 80's. As a hospice patient now approaching 90, he needed special accommodations and this 2h cruise hit all the important marks - and very safely. My father took a wonderful trip down memory lane, remarking upon the newer technology and Chris' skill and willingness to "run with jib", just like my dad loves it. Cannot list enough accolades and highly, highly recommend!

My husband and I have chartered a few sails with the Sailing Satori crew - each one better than the last! Captain Nick is easy-going, fun and incredibly knowledgeable if you're interested in learning a few things along the way. Kelly is very sweet and thoughtful, and goes out of her way to make sure everything is just perfect for the guest. Together they make a great team and are simply a joy to sail with. We would highly recommend chartering with Sailing Satori!

Sailing Satori

We had our wedding on Satori yesterday. It was the most beautiful day! Capt. Nick is extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and absolutely skilled in what he does! I recommend a charter with "Sailing Satori" for everyone! The boat is beautiful, spotless, and very comfortable as well. Thanks Capt. Nick for a wonderful experience and perfect setting for our special wedding day!!!!

We went on a full day trip on the Satori to celebrate my friend's birthday. It was wonderful. The boat was very comfortable for 6 passengers and Captain Nick was a very nice host. It was smooth sailing all day. You can stay in the shade or be out in the sun. We would definitely like to go again.

Because we love the ocean

Sailing is a great way to experience nature. So we like to remind everyone that keeping nature as beautiful as possible involves a little effort from all of us. Some of our tips for responsible boating include:

• Don’t litter or throw waste overboard - take rubbish home and dispose of it responsibly
• Eco-friendly sunblock can help prevent damage to marine life
• buy local and sustainable food products

However long you’re sailing for, a little goes a long way. Read more about responsible boating.
