BaySail is not just about sailing lessons; it’s also about creating memorable moments. We had the chance to enjoy their pontoon boat rental, which accommodates up to 12 people. Our day at Fishing Battery Island was filled with fun activities like paddleboarding, beachcombing, and enjoying snacks with family. The calm waters and beautiful setting made for an ideal outing.
For a romantic or special occasion, BaySail’s private sailing charters are the perfect choice. We experienced a sunset cruise that was nothing short of magical. With room for up to 6 guests, a bathroom onboard, and the freedom to bring your own drinks and snacks, it’s an intimate and relaxing way to spend time with a loved one. Our captain was fantastic, making the evening even more enjoyable.

What truly makes BaySail special is its heartfelt ownership. Jeff and Nicole took over the school after their son’s sailing lessons sparked their love for the sport. Their dedication and personal touch are evident in every aspect of BaySail. Their son now captains sunset sail cruises, adding a personal connection that makes BaySail a truly unique and cherished local business. The education he received from BaySail was what motivated the family to purchase the business when it was available. Their daughter is a blessing to work with as the communications and media manager. This family has brought so much to the business.
BaySail School of Sailing isn’t just a place to learn how to sail—it’s a place where you create lasting memories and enjoy exceptional experiences. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a newcomer, BaySail invites you to join them on the water and discover the joy of sailing in a truly special way.
