Sunset & Winter Wonderland Sails
In our 3 hour sunset sail, you will sail out on beautiful Puget Sound while watching the sun set over the beautiful Olympic Mountain range. Take someone special out or enjoy a relaxing evening on the water with friends. No sailing experience is required, although this is a great opportunity to practice your skills on the helm and meet others in the sailing community. We will provide a licensed captain and life jackets. Food and drink may be brought onboard for a picnic on the water.
Our 3 hour Winter Wonderland Sails will take place on beautiful Puget Sound with an outstanding view of the snow capped Olympic Mountain Range. Bundle up with friends or a special someone. This is a great opportunity to dip your toes into sailing, practice your skills, or meet others in the sailing community. No sailing experience is necessary. Food and warm beverages are highly encouraged.

Q: How can I prepare for my Sunset/Winter Wonderland Sail?
- Schedule your sail. Call or email the club to schedule your lesson.
- Pack your bag according to the marine weather forecast. We suggest bringing a waterproof outer shell, warm layers made with polyester, fleece, wool or merino wool (no cotton), non-slip/non-marking shoes and sunscreen. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) website provides up-to-date weather forecasts for the Puget Sound area. At the bottom of the page, you will find the forecast for the Puget Sound and Hood Canal
Q: What kind of boat will we be on?
You will be on a sailboat larger than 30 feet such as a J/105 or a J/32.
Q: Is alcohol allowed onboard?
Due to safety reasons, alcohol is not permitted on our Sunset or Winter Wonderland sails.
Q: Will we still sail if it is raining?
Yes, these events are rain or shine. The only time we will cancel a sail is if it is blowing 20kts+ (or 15+kts in the winter), thundering/lightning, low visibility (fog/smoke), or the minimum number of participants was not met for the event.
Q: What do I bring or wear?
Always check the weather and pack accordingly! Please do not wear black soled shoes on board. Bring a jacket, a warm layer, and a hat – even in the summer it can be very chilly on the water. In the winter, please bring a warm clothing, a blanket and a warm beverage of your choosing. In Summer, don’t forget to bring sunscreen! Food and non-alcoholic beverages are welcome on board.
