Sail Cygnus - Escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and set sail on a 4 hour, 8 hour, or a beautiful, romantic sunset sail on my 42’ Cutter Ketch Sailboat. I started sailing on Lake Michigan in the 60’s on my father’s 26’ wooden sloop. I had always dreamed of taking people sailing on my very own sailboat, and having them experience the same joy and peacefulness that being on the water brings to me. Well, many seasons have since passed and here I am, doing what I truly enjoy.

I find that the majority of my customers prefer a shorter four hour sail, simply to unwind and let their mind release all of the built-up tensions brought on by the stress of everyday life. However, there are those who prefer to sail for a full eight hours, experiencing total relaxation, letting the wind in the sails guide them through the water, relishing every moment. We also offer a romantic sunset sail on the ever beautiful and scenic Biscayne Bay.

It is highly satisfying to me, as well as my crew, to see people so happy and content when our sail is eventually over. For more information or to schedule a sail, please contact me at the number listed below.
