All sailing charters will be aboard "La Bella Vita", a 38' LOA Island Packet Yacht. LBV is equipped with all the required USCG safety equipment in addition to numerous other features and equipment to make for a safe and fun Excursion!
Please remember, the listed Excursions are basically just that, the basic's. We like to think of each of our Excursions as custom and are easily tailored to each group. There is really so many things to see and do, I encourage everyone to call and let me explain in more detail and see how we can customize your perfect day on the water!
Always listen to your Captain! The information he goes over before and during your excursion is important. The safety of our guests is always our primary concern. (Please do not hesitate to ask if you have a question).
Excursions are Cash Only (there may be exceptions, so ask if “Cash Only” presents a problem).
All Excursions are limited to a maximum of 6 guests.
Dock parties (held aboard La Bella Vita) are limited to 12 guests.
Age requirements are 12 years and older for all Excursions.
All guests must be able to move about with a degree of balance, be able to squat/bend at the waist to enter and exit the cockpit area, be able to climb up and down a short ladder/steps into the salon area, and step aboard and off the vessel at the dock. When in doubt please give us a call and we can usually help clarify if there will be concerns with any of your abilities.
For your convenience, deposits are not required. However, I do ask that you respect my time and business by notifying me at least two weeks in advance if you will not be able to keep your reservation. I am a Professional and a Man of My Word and expect the same Qualities from my Clients.
Please do not decide to cancel due to weather until you have talked with me first. The weather is constantly changing, especially in the summer months and what might look bad to someone unfamiliar with our weather could change at any time. (Remember La Bella Vita has a fully shaded cockpit that can also be enclosed to provide dry, warm, and very comfortable conditions in any type of weather).
The 4 hour sailing excursion allows enough time to cruise along the shoreline of St. Andrews Bay, Work our way over to the bayside of Shell Island or punch out through the pass into the gulf to take a look at the beach side of Shell Island or back west to Panama City Beach! Of course on all sailing charters we are looking for the playful dolphins that will ride our bow and swim around the boat allowing for some great pics and video!
An 8 hour Excursion allows for everything the 4 hour can provide with so much more. Basically our range can be extended to see more of Shell Islands remote beauty or cruise down Panama City Beach enjoying the views from the water! Sail around in St. Andrews Bay enjoying the sights, Anchor out and relax in a quiet little cove for lunch, or drop anchor on the bay side or beaches side of Shell Island! In addition, there are restaurants for dockside dining in the bay and when weather permits, the opportunity to anchor off Panama City Beach and dinghy to shore for lunch and drinks is an option! Remember, on our private sailing charters the day is your's to enjoy and basically we can do it all.
Like parties? We do! Want to party with the locals or just have your own small get together away from the crowds, Shell Island is the place! After leaving the marina we set sail to Panama City's little slice of paradise. Taking approximately an hour, you can kickback in the fully shaded cockpit listening to your choice of music or hang out on the deck taking in some rays while sailing along sipping cocktails enjoying the scenery of beautiful St. Andrews Bay. Arriving at Shell Island you will be surrounded by locals and visitors all enjoying the clear water, sandy shoreline, and party atmosphere! Or choose to anchor up away from the crowds for your own private party, the choice is yours. Spending a day at the island aboard La Bella Vita, taking the dinghy to shore to enjoy a walk along the sugary white sands of the beach, or taking a refreshing swim will definitely be the highlight of your visit to Panama City Beach!
Sunset Excursions usually consist of sailing out across St. Andrews Bay, through the pass, and into the Gulf of Mexico watching the sun set over the horizon (depending on sea conditions, excursions may be limited to the bay but the sunsets are still absolutely amazing)! We then make way back after dark enjoying the night sky and peacefulness that being on the water at night provides.
On an evening / party excursion we usually take off into St. Andrews Bay and get in some sailing while making our way to one of two destinations. The first is Uncle Ernies https://uncleerniesbayfrontgrill.com where we can tie up to their dock. The food is fantastic and the view is awesome overlooking the bay. There is usually live music that gets the party going! The next option is Papa Joe's https://www.papajoesbayside.com that is located to the west side of St. Andrews bay where things get a little more laid back. Here we anchor and take the dinghy to shore where they have several food trucks serving up a variety of good eats! In addition, there is a beer and alcohol truck and live music to enjoy. Both venues are great places to watch the sunset over the bay. We set sail after dark making our way back to the marina enjoying the stars and lights of Historical Panama City!
Who doesn't like a party or to just kick back and relax on a boat at a marina looking out over the bay while other boats come and go just enjoying the water. Well, you can do it! La Bella Vita is a great place to hang out and is available for lunches, afternoon get togethers, afterwork drinks with friends & family, or work associates, or just a quiet evening retreat for two. We can accommodate up to 12 guests. Lounge on the deck, kickback in the cockpit while listening to music and sipping a cocktail, or chill down below in an air conditioned / heated salon while being catered to by the Captain and Crew!
(Because we stay extremely busy please call to check availability. Rates will vary depending on time and the number of guests)
