Explore the Gulf Coast of Florida by sea! The Moorings is now offering charted sailings with or without a captain that depart from St. Petersburg.  The Gulf Coast’s unique combination of steady winds, year-round sunshine, short passages between seaside towns, secluded anchorages, and fine marinas make for an ideal experience. While the city of St. Petersburg has plenty of attractions, like the world-famous Salvador Dali Museum and the historic Sunken Gardens, there is also plenty to discover in the waters offshore including notable locations like Egmont Key State Park, Tarpon Springs, Clearwater Beach, Captiva Island, and Sanibel Island. Experienced boaters can even make their way down to Key West and the Dry Tortugas. A variety of activities including fishing, dolphin-watching, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding are available. Rent either a catamaran and monohull yacht ranging from 34-52 ft. and with two to four cabins.  The boats sail out of the lovely Vinoy Renaissance Resort which you can take advantage of before or after your sailing.
