ST. AUGUSTINE - St. Augustine Sailing will celebrate its 40th anniversary on August 2nd with an all-day dockside party, treasure hunt sails, and live music honoring four decades of sailing on local waters.

Founded in 1985 by local boating icon Doug Crane, St. Augustine Sailing began as a small sailing school and yacht brokerage. Over the years, new owners have expanded its mission, adding public charters, partnerships with the American Sailing Association, and the SailTime® club. Since 2018, co-owners Chuck and Rose Ann Points have grown the program to certify over 500 students a year and launched popular offerings like the Crew & Women on the Water (WOW!) programs, luxury private charters with onboard chefs, elopements, and corporate team-building adventures.

“This milestone isn’t just about our business… it’s about the community that’s grown with us over four decades,” said Rose Ann Points, co-owner of St. Augustine Sailing. “It’s a tribute to the legacy of sailing in our community, the families who’ve come through our docks, and the thousands of people who discovered the magic of the wind and sea with us. We look forward to sailing these waters for many more years to come.”

The August 2nd celebration will include exclusive treasure hunt sails, knot-tying contests, dockside games, giveaways, and a barbecue party with live music and cake. Guests can also book a private day, afternoon, or sunset sail for that day at 40% off with the code 40for40.
