Charters
ECY offers bareboat (and captained) charters along Florida's Emerald Coast. We are based at Sabine Marina on Pensacola Beach. From here you have access to the best the coast has to offer.
This includes Gulf Shores, Pensacola, Pensacola Beach, Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Panama City, Port St. Joe, and Apalachicola. You have access to everything from secluded
islands
to modern marinas.
We believe that the Emerald Coast of Florida is one of the best kept sailing secrets in the world! David Liscio, a photojournalist, based in Nahant, MA, agrees and has written three articles about exploring the Emerald Coast with his family. His articles about our area have been featured in Sail, Cruising World, and Sailing magazines.
The following passage from David's Sail article describes our cruising area exceptionally well:
Bound for Northern Florida’s Riviera, some 250 miles of bayous and barrier dunes that protect the Panhandle, stretching west roughly from the coastal town of Carrabelle
to the bustling port of Mobile, Alabama. A place where people practice Southern hospitality, fish obsessively, and sail some of the country’s least-celebrated yet spectacularly beautiful cruising waters. Florida locals call the region LA, for Lower Alabama, because the seamless boundaries are more political than cultural. This is the Old South,
graceful and unhurried, enlivened by a Jimmy Buffett sound track and mellowed by a lack of pretension. Boiled peanuts, key lime pie, "BBQ" chicken, cold beer, and tie-dyed sunsets are part of everyday life, as are 
the sugar-white sand beaches.For cruisers, LA offers countless opportunities to explore uninhabited islands surrounded by transparent emerald water, both teeming with wildlife, dolphins, rays, blue crabs, pelicans, herons, hawks, and eagles. Marinas are plentiful along the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), and civilization is never far out of reach, but in most bayous it’s possible to anchor overnight in settings of such natural splendor that docking seems absurd.
