Sailing Lesson or Sunset Celebration?

A sailing trip with Key Sailing is a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday, family get-together or just to celebrate a sunset. Daytime sailings can be particularly fun for families with children who can take their very first sailing lesson by assisting Tim and Jan with the sails and taking charge at the helm. Your hosts are always happy to chat and answer questions, but those looking for a romantic evening will find the peace they seek with just the sound of the breeze and lapping waves for quiet companionship.

Stretch out on cushions and enjoy the ride as you sail past multi-million dollar homes and uninhabited islands in Sarasota Bay. Alternatively, you can bring a book or relax in the shade beneath the taut bimini. Those wanting a more active role can assist at the helm and chat with Tim and Jan about their sailing experiences over the past 35 years or so.

Fresh air, cold drinks and chocolate are guaranteed, and if you’re lucky your trip will also include the company of local dolphins and a blazing sunset. You definitely want to bring your camera with you, along with hats and sunscreen.

Captain, Minister and Published Author

As well as captaining the boat as a qualified U.S.C.G. Master Captain, Tim is also a fully ordained minister and is happy to officiate for ceremonies from vow renewals to private wedding ceremonies. More than one proposal has been made and accepted onboard!
