What is MidBay Sailing?
We are a sailing school and sailing charter based in Bluewater Bay Marina, Niceville, on Florida's Emerald Coast. We are an American Sailing Association (ASA) Affiliate and Captain Brian was honored with Outstanding Instructor of the Year for 2021, 2022 and 2023.
Whether you have a week or only an afternoon, if you're completely new to sailing or want to increase your sailing knowledge and ability, we have a class that will fit your schedule and your experience.
Our charters are the perfect way to enjoy the beautiful waters while on vacation in Destin - sunset cruises are a favorite, as are wedding parties.
Discover a world of beauty on the water
Sailing at sunset is the picture of calm and relaxation for many of us. There's a warm breeze, the soft sounds of water gliding past, and the pressures of life left behind.
We believe that a sailing outing with friends is the closest thing to heaven - and we believe everyone can learn to sail themselves.
Isn't learning to sail hard? Is sailing complicated?
If you've ever been on or even looked at a sailboat, there is a lot going on. Most of it may be unfamiliar, even for many boaters. And, if you've listened to sailors talk, there are a lot of strange words thrown around.
For many people, the unfamiliarity of sailing and the pressure of being in charge of a large boat can be scary. Just like learning to drive a car, it takes time and experience to become confident in your skills. Just like learning to drive, learning to sail opens up brand new experiences that make it more than worthwhile.
