A long time dream of Safety Harbor
resident, Mark Smith, has come to fruition. Safety Harbor Charters
has set sail in this quaint city on the bay. And all who visit and
live here can now access these tranquil waters.
Captain Mark's dream began in England.
His fascination with the sea blossomed with family trips to the
Cornwall coast and the Canary Islands. As a young man, he joined
the ranks of the Royal Yacht Association. But his heart yearned for
the warm waters of the Caribbean, so he set off from his native
homeland to places most just visit and hate to leave. His travels
took him to Turks & Caicos, the Cayman Islands, the U.S. Virgin
Islands and the Bahamas. He now calls Safety Harbor home, and has
found paradise here in this gem of a city with his wife, Debra, and
their young son, Marley Bay.
Family owned and operated, Safety Harbor
Charters operates daily from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. for day cruises, and
5-11 p.m. for enchanted sunset sails and evening excursions.
Available for charter is a 30 ft. Watkins sailboat.
"If you've ever sailed the calm waters of
Tampa Bay, you know the peacefulness of harnessing the wind as you
view the serene vistas, full of mangrove forests and wildlife,"
Captain Mark said.
With a maximum of six passengers per
charter, every trip is an intimate setting, ideal for any special
occasion, such as anniversaries, birthdays, proposals, informal
sales meetings, wine tastings, even weddings! Day charters can be
reserved for adventurous family outings, with many options
available, like fishing, kayak excursions, eco tours and wildlife
viewing.
For a romantic night out, try an evening
cruise and have the dramatic sunset and night sky all to
yourselves. Meals and beverages can be provided by local
restaurants and vendors, with special menus designed for the
charters. Customized full day or overnight charters can be planned
for your ultimate experience on the water. Want to have fun and
learn something new? Captain Mark offers a "Learn to Sail" one-day
sailing class.
"Whatever venture you desire, you're sure
to make memories that will last a lifetime," Captain Mark said.
