Join us in beautiful downtown St. Petersburg, Florida and the gorgeous Tampa Bay for private, one-on-one instruction on our new luxury sailing yachts – everything from a basic “fun day” cruise, to advanced training and certifications with our ASA-certified instructors. We also offer our “Intelligent Sailing Yacht Club Membership” – which allows you to not only learn to sail on one of our yachts, but also allows you to reserve the yacht and use it as if it were your very own, without the hassle of maintenance, insurance, and marina fees.
The Intelligent Sailing fleet consists of young, impeccably maintained yachts ranging from 33 to 50 feet, fully appointed with a minimum of two cabins, Air Conditioning, Generators, Refrigerator/Freezer, Apple TV, BOSE surround sound, fresh-water electric heads, and more!
Intelligent Sailing is located in the exclusive Harborage Marina in downtown St. Petersburg, with luxury amenities – such as the only Mega-Yacht slips on Florida’s West Coast, a grilling area, swimming pool, lounge, showers, and laundry facilities – the Harborage Marina is the premier location for all of your sailing dreams! An easy walk to downtown St. Pete for all of the action, or a short drive over to the nation’s top beaches! Everything is in reach. We can sail in the Gulf of Mexico out of Clearwater Beach, or in the huge and protected Tampa Bay out of St. Petersburg.
Intelligent Sailing also has a full-service private and luxurious clubhouse available, upon request, for any out-of-the-water private events – such as corporate events, dinners, birthdays, weddings, and anything else you could imagine. With complete concierge, we can arrange for the yacht or Club House to be stocked and provisioned with anything you may desire. Anything from your favourite food and drink, to linens, marine gear, water toys, and much more.
Among other things, at Intelligent Sailing we offer our “Yacht Club Membership Program” – which allows you to use our yachts as if they were your own. We also offer private cruises, beginner “learn to sail” classes, Corporate and team-building events, special events – such as weddings, etc. – charters, overnight stays and excursions, as well as a variety of ASA Sailing Certification Courses. In addition to this, we are also dealers for Elan yachts, and we are affiliated with brokerages in St. Petersburg and in St. Augustine – we are able to make your sailing dream come true: everything from learning to sail, to making the leap and purchasing your yacht. And in between? Become an Intelligent Sailing Yacht Club member and gain the confidence you need to sail large cruisers.
Tampa Bay is booming, and downtown St. Petersburg makes for the ideal location to experience everything the area has to offer. Don’t settle for simple, and don’t waste your time – join us at Intelligent Sailing!
