Under power boat speed generally 8 miles per hour (7 knots) |
Under sail 5-7 mph is fair to expect with wind speeds of 10-15 mph. This does not allow for tacking |
Shorter trips each day are best. We’ll still sail and play a full day and time it to get in before 5pm. |
We’ll want to plan your longer days at the beginning, to make sure we get you home on time. |
