Sail out from Bowden’s Marina in Madeira Beach, through John’s Pass and into the Gulf of Mexico as the sun goes down. This is a private charter, so the 45-foot sailboat is yours: bring friends, family or a date, plus your own food and drinks. Watch for dolphins along the Intracoastal and in the Gulf, take the helm if you want to learn, or just relax on deck. We leave about two hours before sunset, year round. Most of the captains are women and American Sailing Association instructors, and every trip runs with a USCG-licensed captain. Madeira Beach is about 30 minutes from downtown St. Petersburg, St. Pete Beach and Clearwater Beach.
