Flathead Lake Sailing Cruise Charter Tour!
Get on the water aboard our captained Capri 22 and/or Catalina 25 sailboat during the day with up to 10 passengers (up to 5 passengers per sailboat). Safety equipment and type II USCG life jackets provided.
Set sail with a knowledgeable Go Sail Flathead Lake captain for a fully customizable daytime cruise on Flathead Lake’s crystal-clear waters. Our daytime sailing charters are ideal for soaking up the sun, enjoying panoramic Mission Mountain views, and spotting local wildlife — especially around Wild Horse Island. Bighorn sheep, deer, bald eagles, and even wild horses call this island home! While this tour doesn’t stop on any of the islands, there’s no better way to experience the wide-open beauty of Flathead Lake than from the deck of a private sailboat, surrounded by 360 degrees of natural splendor.

Arrive at the Flathead Lake Private Marina 15 minutes before your Flathead Lake boat tour. There, you will meet with your friendly sailboat captain and they’ll take you to one of our boats in the marina! Before departing on your Flathead Lake sailboat tour, your captain will give you a short safety orientation and create a customized sailing plan for your sailboat tour on Flathead Lake. Once aboard, ask your captain as many questions as you’d like about sailing, Flathead Lake history, and the best Flathead Lake attractions to enjoy later in your trip. Or just sit back and enjoy the ride! If you’d like to learn some sailing basics, your captain would be more than happy to involve you in the process of sailing on Flathead Lake—just ask!

Drinks will not be provided on your Flathead Lake boat tour, however, feel free to bring a cooler with beverages, sodas, beer, champagne and any snack you’d like while onboard! We encourage you to bring a Bluetooth speaker for music too! Remember to dress in layers and don’t forget a warm jacket. It can be 20 degrees cooler on the Flathead Lake waters than on land.

All safety equipment, including life jackets, will be provided by Go Sail Flathead Lake for your Flathead Lake boat tour. One of our fabulous captains will join you onboard to sail your boat, provide sailing instruction (if you are interested), and share information about Flathead Lake’s history and the many attractions on Flathead Lake.

We are open Memorial Day to Mid September. The lake level must be high enough to launch the boats.
Most of the summer the best wind is 10–15 knots out of the east on high pressure days—blue skies and light white fluffy clouds. This condition causes a thermal from the warming land pulling the cool air off of the lake.
The best sailing area is in the bay between Big Arm Bay and Wild Horse Island where the winds are fairly consistent. However; this is Montana weather and it can change and there can be weather events that may change the daily schedule. We closely monitor this and will be sending you a confirmation 7 days before the lesson to verify the conditions are safe or if we need to reschedule.
