Itinerary
We depart from the slip, and you can decide whether you’d like to swim or sail first. Typically, we split the time between both activities, ensuring a balanced experience on the water. I usually prefer heading out into the Gulf of Mexico, but our exact route depends on the wind and conditions at the time.
For swimming and snorkeling, we visit a shallow area known as the Grass Flats, a great spot for all ages and skill levels. No matter where we go, you’ll always have a view of land, making for a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
