    Winter doesn’t put a stop to the good times in Orange Beach!

    It might be winter, but that’s no reason to skip the beach! Visitors still enjoy everything that the sun and sand have to offer – even with the cooler temperatures. It’s always a good time in Orange Beach, Alabama, and we want you to come join the fun!

    With Valentine’s Day on the calendar, consider a romantic weekend getaway to your favorite Alabama beach rental. Rates are lower, crowds are smaller, and the sunsets (and sunrises) are just as beautiful. As in any season, fantastic restaurants and amazing shopping can be found at every turn. 

Round out your weekend with a private cruise with Sail Wild Hearts. Our sunset cruise is the perfect addition to your Valentine’s Day weekend. Bringing the family? We also offer great excursions such as our Family Adventure Sail.

Fantastic, family-friendly parades are scheduled for Orange Beach. Catch all the moon pies your heart desires during the Mystical Order of Mirams Parade on Friday, March 1. Dance along with the marching bands and the Mystics of Pleasure on Saturday, March 2. And don’t let Fat Tuesday (March 5) go by without soaking up the celebratory spirit of the Orange Beach Mardi Gras Parade.

  • Preparing for a Sail Wild Hearts Winter

    Preparing for a Sail Wild Hearts Winter

    The weather may be cooling off, but our Sail Wild Hearts sails are just heating up! When temperatures drop and sunbathing season is over, there’s no better way to experience the magic of the Gulf than with one of our cruises. Follow these tips to prepare for your winter sailing experience with Sail Wild Hearts. We can’t wait to see you on board!

    Keep it cozy – Make sure to check the weather and wind speeds the day of your cruise, and pack appropriate clothing. In the South, winter layering is key. Think pants, long sleeves, windbreakers and even gloves. In the colder months, it’s not a bad idea to bring along a cozy blanket or two to snuggle up under. Remember, the wind can make it feel colder than the number on the thermometer!

    Snack like a champion – We offer some soft drinks and snacks on some of our cruises, but it wouldn’t hurt to bring along a hot thermos with coffee, hot chocolate or even mulled wine (for those 21 and up) to keep your hands and your insides warm. You can’t go wrong with seasonal snacks like gingersnaps and oatmeal cookies, but anything easy to eat and portable works just fine.

    Winter SailProtect yourself – Don’t let the cooler temperatures fool you. You still need sun protection out on the water! Bring sunshades and sunscreen along for the ride. And depending on the wind, it might not hurt to pack some lip balm to protect sensitive skin from the wind. It’s better to be safe than sorry (and sunburnt).

    Say cheese – No matter the time of year, you’ll want to bring a camera along on your Sail Wild Hearts cruise. From capturing nature in all its beauty to immortalizing special family moments, you’ll be glad you have something to help you remember the trip by.

    Follow this simple advice and you’ll be all set for your winter Sail Wild Hearts adventure. The only thing left to decide is which cruise to choose!
