The hull settles, the bay breathes, and the city skyline slides astern as you ease out of St. Petersburg on a 42' Bali 4.2. Salt stings the air and the captain trims sails for a gentle cross-bay run toward Egmont Key; dolphins often thread the bow wake, curious and quick. Cushioned lounges, a shaded cockpit and a floating mat make the boat a small, private island for your group of up to six.
