Captain Steve’s Sailing Experience offers private sailing charters out of Port Washington, aboard Sales Call, a 2007 34-foot Beneteau Oceanis 343 sailing yacht for up to 6 guests. Sailing Manhasset Bay and the Long Island Sound, Captain Steve is highly experienced and U.S. Coast Guard certified, customizing every charter to the group’s interests, from taking the helm and trimming the sail to simply relaxing on deck.
