Sailboat Rides and Captained Cruises
Sail Wild Air offers a range of opportunities to fit any experience level, interest and budget. These include the following boat tours:
Captained Cruises
With friendly captains on Burlington's Lake Champlain you’ll enjoy the region’s unique waterscape from the comfort and safety of our beautiful sailing yachts built for stability and strength, with some of the region’s most experienced Captains.
Depending on wind and weather, you and your friends can choose to nose around in the protected nooks and crannies of Mallett’s Bay, sail through the Colchester Causeway and round Providence Island, or chase the sunset out to Carlton’s Prize!
Got more time? There’s nothing like exploring Valcour Isalnd on the New York coast by water, or discovering the hidden beauty of the Inland Sea.
When you’re out on a captained cruise with Sail Wild Air, the choices are yours. Want to dip into a cove and take a swim or try your hand at fishing? Trim sails for sheer power and aim for new maximum speed? Or set course to reach a renowned on-shore restaurant for a meal? Your Captain is ready to show you what an incredible bounty the lake offers while keeping you within the boundaries of what’s safe.
You can arrange captained cruises anywhere from 2 hours to 6 days long, depending on your preferences and availability. Beverages and refreshments are always available and are included in the pricing. All meals are prepared fresh on board during overnight trips.
