The Foundations
A word from our founder
St. Pete Sail Charters was founded for the sole purpose of sharing what I love with others: bringing people together while being powered by Mother Nature. There is a unique romanticism present in vintage vessels, including the sailing performance and maintenance routine required. S/V Cay Michele (named after my mother) has been a passion project with myself and several family members, all contributing to the vision and integrity of this beautiful vessel. I truly love how much boats can bring people together, and I look forward to sharing that with everyone that steps aboard.
— Capt. Noah DeBickero, Owner & Operator
