Bluewater Escapes operates private sailing charters along Southwest Florida’s coastline, offering a range of crewed catamaran and monohull experiences. The company’s signature offerings include Anchored Escape — available on both catamaran and monohull as a Day at Anchor Private Charter — which combines a morning sail with an afternoon anchored in a scenic location for swimming, snorkeling, and relaxation.
Wind & Wander, offered as both monohull and catamaran options, is a private 6-hour sailing adventure with a dedicated captain and crew that lets guests customize the day to swim, sightsee, search for dolphins, or simply relax with a picnic onboard. The Friends & Family | Excess 11 Catamaran is a private captained escape aboard an Excess 11 catamaran designed for leisurely luxury and memorable gatherings.
Each trip emphasizes customization: guests may bring their own food and beverages, select swimming and snorkeling stops, and tailor the pace for families, celebrations, or quiet escapes. Professional captains and crews manage navigation and vessel operations, allowing guests to focus on safety and enjoyment on the water. Bluewater Escapes prepares vessels for day sailing, anchoring, and coastal cruising and highlights the Gulf Coast’s calm waters and marine life.
Bookings are sold as private charters with clear trip descriptions and durations. By offering both catamaran and monohull options and professionally crewed yachts, Bluewater Escapes provides flexible, private sailing experiences for small groups seeking a personalized day on the water.
