Serving Arizona since 1988

Sailing is one of the few sports that can be enjoyed year round by the entire family. Whether you're sailing along on a stiff breeze, anchored in a secluded cove, fishing off the stern or enjoying a moonlight cruise, there is something in sailing for everyone at every age.

We have some lessons already on the books for this season. Get out on the water and learn to sail on any of these days. See our LESSONS page to book now. If you don't see a date that works for you, call the Shop, and we can set some new dates.

Our goal is to make your sailing experience as safe, comfortable, and fun as possible. We are happy to announce that we will be offering a sailing Practice Meetup for students to work with each other and a certified ASA instructor to hone their skills and ensure that each person can operate our C25 or C270 on their own. In addition, we also offer a full day rental of each of the boats with the option to sail with a trainer for a portion of that time.

Practice Meetup

Want more practice sailing, but aren't ready to rent? Do you just want more time on the water and enjoy meeting new people? Sign up for our Practice Meetup! Practice anything you want with one of our experienced sailors. We'd like to hear from you and what you're interested in exploring. We will post dates on our calendar soon and hope to see you on the water.

*Must have ASA101 Certification or equivalent. Max 6 people per session. First come, first serve.

Sail with a Trainer

BOOK NOW

If you'd like to rent a boat on your own, but aren't fully comfortable doing it by yourself yet, book a full day with either the C25 or C270 and a trainer. You may include one of our trainers for 3 or 6 hours on top of the rental.

*Must have ASA101 Certification or equivalent.

Here are some more photos from that beautiful cruise on the lake. Special thanks to @captainpicklesboatrentals for use of their towable, and to get @stephneymartinphotography out onto the water.

We left Key West in the middle of the night to get started on the next leg of our trip. We stopped at the Dry Tortugas National Park and spent a few hours playing in the water, exploring Fort Jefferson, and having dinner. We are currently taking shifts sailing back to St. Pete.

DAY 3: We arrived in Key West. It was another beautiful day. All of our sailors had the opportunity to do some exploring - scuba diving, hanging out on the beach, riding bikes, visiting the Hemingway house, and enjoying good food.

We enjoyed a beautiful, though not very windy day today on our journey along the Florida coast. Here's a glimpse inside the wonderful yacht we're using. This is a 45 ft, 3 berth, 2 bath sailboat. We hope to see you next time on one of your certification vacations.

The journey is officially underway! Our group is out in the open water, and got to enjoy a beautiful sunset.

Someone should have gone to Sailing School. Call Captain Bob to set up a lesson so you don't end up in this position. 928-501-7245

Day 2 of our trip! Here are some of the sites from St. Petersburg.

Sailboat Shop cruises the opposite coast! Follow us in Florida this week, as we take students out on the open water. They are sleeping aboard and taking four-hour shifts as they sail to the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas. They will set sail from St. Petersburg tomorrow afternoon.

We had a great time with some of our students out on the water Saturday. Arizona Yacht Club - Birthday Regatta.

Special thanks to the Arizona Yacht Club for a wonderful weekend. We participated in the 2024 Birthday Regatta and won the Cruising Challenge scavenger hunt.

Happy New Year! May your year be filled with joy, peace, and new adventures. Even when the weather isn't the greatest, we're still open and ready to get on the water.

Come join us on an Intro to Sailing class. No matter what the weather looks like, it's always a great time!
