Tampa Bay · Bradenton Beach
Gulf-front beach rental on Anna Maria Island, family run for forty years and, by its own account, the only place on the island renting sailboats. Hobie Wave and Hobie Getaway catamarans by the hour or half day, first come, first served, with a short lesson for first-timers.
Daysail Tampa Bay · Holmes Beach
Capt. Kit Baxter sails Flip Flops, a Maine Cat 30 catamaran, out of Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island, six guests at most. Public sails go with two aboard, private sails need three spots. Sunset and day sails on the bay, and four- to six-hour runs to Passage Key and Egmont Key.
