Who We Are
It is with joy and sadness that my wife Judy and I announce we have sold Stuart Sailing Charters and our beloved catamaran Sailfish to our business manager, first mate and dear friend, Erinn Hennessy. We want to assure our loyal customers, students and any future clients the the only changes will be for the better. For the last several years Erinn has skillfully handled inquiries, updating our website, scheduling, staffing, prepping the boat for excursions and serving as 1st mate and hostess. We feel blessed to have the company and the boat in such talented and skillful hands. We will still be available to occasionally ride along if asked. I am always here if you want to connect.

Many ask how and why we started Stuart Sailing Charters. Quite simply, I have been fascinated by sailing since I was a small boy. I love being outside in the fresh air and sunshine, using the wind to propel the boat nearly silently along the water. It has always been a refreshing, relaxing, and renewing experience. I also enjoy the physical and mental challenge sailing presents.
During the last 40 years, I have lucky enough to be able to share the sailing experience with friends and family hundreds of times in the States, the Bahamas, the Pacific, the Med, and the Caribbean. I like meeting new people and wanted a way to share my love of sailing with them.
My wife Judy and I formed Stuart Sailing Charters and bought Sailfish, a 40′ sailing catamaran. It is ideal platform to take out people with any level of sailing experience from novice to expert but who do not currently have a boat. It is roomy, stable, safe, comfortable, and easy to sail.
