bareboat sailing charter SarasotaBeautiful Sarasota Bay, Florida. The Gulf of Mexico within an hour's sail from either Longboat or New Pass inlets. The ideal bareboat charter with a Catalina 30 and a perfect location combine to create a memorable sailing experience with Latitude Sailing Charters. A variety of destinations present themselves, from the Tampa Bay area just north, to the excellent cruising grounds to the south: Venice, Boca Grande/Charlotte Harbor, Cayo Costa, Pine Island Sound, Ft. Myers, Naples and Marco Island. Anchorages abound and marinas are within easy reach. With Latitude's wing keel and 3'10" draft, many hidden areas become accessible with a bareboat charter.

The charter boat is located at the Sarasota Hotel and Marina, which has much to offer. In a well-protected cove off Sarasota Bay, the marina has a floating dock with cable tv, an outdoor tiki bar, restaurant, and swimming pool, as well as clean restrooms with showers. There's even a washer and dryer. Downtown Sarasota and its beautiful bayfront are just five miles down the road.

"....we would also like to thank you for a wonderful week of March sailing and the sharing of local sailing knowledge for the Sarasota area, which was extremely valuable. The whole bareboat experience on "Latitude" was excellent and as your website mentions she is in "bristol" condition. I forgot to mention to you that twice we sailed with dolphins off the bow of the boat. One I was able to catch on video jumping out of the water of the Gulf, just in front of the boat, which was a thrill!  I was happy that there were a number of quiet areas to anchor overnight and also see some of the beautiful homes along the protected waters of the intracoastal waterway. The comfortable and stable handling nature of the Catalina 30 makes her quick and easy to get used to. Also you helped warm up 4 cold Canadians, who were weary of the winter back home, with a warm good-natured manner. Feel free to use this e-mail, which I submit unsolicited, in your ads if you like.

Stan,
Thanks again for a great week. We keep going over the wonderful time we had. Can't believe the week
went so fast. We really appreciate the friendly, personal service you gave us. We have chartered with bigger  charter companies in the past and nobody has made us feel as welcome or at home as you did.  As longtime sailors and owners of sailboats we were very impressed with how well maintained Latitude was. The Garmin chartplotter and your knowledge of the area made navigating unfamiliar waters effortless. The boat was very comfortable and provided us with everything we needed.  We look forward to chartering with you again soon.
Sincerely,
Steve and Monique Hester
