Sail The Phoenix 'Luxury Day Sail' — the upscale catamaran alternate

The roomier, more polished sail option: a 62-foot Privilege luxury catamaran out of Bobby's Marina for a 10am–3pm cruise to a guided snorkel stop, with paddleboards and an 18-foot floating mat to play on. Complimentary drinks, fresh fruit, cake and a freshly cooked lunch are served onboard, and the boat runs at 72% capacity so it never feels packed. This is your low-risk near-port safety net if Random Wind is full — same Philipsburg marina, same cruise-friendly timing, more space and a luxury frame.

What to expect

You board the 62-foot Privilege catamaran at Bobby's Marina at 10am and settle into the roomier, unhurried elegance of a luxury sail—the boat runs at 72% capacity, so the deck never feels crowded. The crew guides you to a snorkel stop where you'll spend quality time in the water with paddleboards and a floating 18-foot mat to explore and play on. Between the water, you're served fresh fruit, cake, and a lunch cooked fresh aboard, with complimentary drinks flowing throughout the five-hour cruise. You return to the marina by 3pm, having experienced a polished, full-day sail rather than a quick motor-boat dash.

Good to know

Departs Bobby's Marina in Philipsburg at 10am and returns by 3pm, giving you a comfortable window within a typical 6–8 hour port day; the marina is Philipsburg-based and cruise-friendly, minimizing the walk from the pier. Book the promo code STP10 ahead of time for 10% off (bringing the adult price to ~$125) and confirm any snorkel certification if required. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a towel, and secure any loose items, as you'll be on the water for the full five hours; the 3pm return gives you ample buffer to shower and return to the ship before typical all-aboard times.
