3 Day Sailing Charter around Tampa http://www.calenyachts.com/3day-overnight-tampa.htm A three day / two night charter is the best way to explore the Gulf of Mexico. Our multi-day charters provide guests with the opportunity to sail one of our 41' Morgan Out Island Sailboats in the Gulf of Mexico directly from our docks in New Port Richey. First we will depart our dock and power through the Gulf Harbors residential community of New Port Richey. There you will be able to see a variety of houses ranging from $150K to multi-million dollar homes. After the canal we enter a short channel that will have us into the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Calen Yachts of New Port Richey, Florida never really follows the same course twice. We let the wind decide where to take us. Although our prevailing winds typically take us right by the nearby Anclote Island and its sand bar. This is often a nice place to take a break and enjoy the beach if your goal is to get your toes in the sand. We provide an easy lunch onboard, which is typically deli style sandwiches. After lunch usually the wind pushes us South, and depending on wind speed, time and preference we have many islands to choose from to anchor out for the night. Popular anchorages are behind Anclote Island in the leeward protected waters, behind Honeymoon Island, Caladesi Island, Clearwater Beach, Dunedin Shores and Indian Rocks Beach. After we set anchor, your captain will begin cooking dinner on the outside grill. A typical dinner would be grilled chicken breasts, or steaks although we are welcome to accommodate different menu options. The following morning you will wake up to a nice light breakfast and hot coffee. After everyone wakes up and gets their sea legs back on we will continue our adventure and try to have an even better day than the previous day... if that's even possible! Anchorage the second night will again be on the leeward side of one of our barrier islands, thus creating a nice calm atmosphere for dinner and resting.
