If you need a little expert navigation in getting underway, here are some of our most popular spring break sails and cruises to add to your 2025 spring break itinerary.

Your journey begins in Orange Beach, where our magnificent sailboat becomes your gateway to both sea and sky. As we chart our course toward Pensacola waters, you’ll have front-row seats to nature’s own entertainment – our local dolphins showing off their aquatic acrobatics. Stay refreshed throughout your voyage with our complimentary beverages and fresh fruit, whether you’re lounging in the shade or soaking up rays on deck.

But that’s just the first act. The real show begins when we drop anchor in Pensacola for an unmatched view of the world-famous Blue Angels in action.

As the perfect finale, we’ll catch the afternoon breeze back to Orange Beach, sailing into memories that will last long after spring break ends.

Select days in March and April offer the chance to catch the years’ earliest practice dates with smaller crowds and smoother waves. With breakfast, lunch, and complimentary kayaking and paddleboarding, this cruise is packed with everything you need for a spring break day to remember.

We’ll provide all the gear; you bring the energy and spring break spirit!
