Captained Sunset Sailing Cruise on Flathead Lake

Arrive at the Flathead Lake Privat Harbor Main building on hwy 93 (38132 US-93, Big Arm, MT 59910) 15 minutes before your Intro to Sailing Cruise. Your captain will greet you and take you down to the dock to get acquainted with your sailboat. Your informal sailing lesson will start with a short safety orientation and then, you’ll work with your captain to create a customized sailing plan featuring all the sailing skills you’d like to learn! Once aboard, ask your captain as many sailing questions as you’d like — or even take a break from learning and ask about Flathead Lake history or the best Flathead Lake attractions! You’ll have the opportunity to take the helm, put up the sails, and discover how much fun sailing really is.

Drinks will not be provided on your Flathead Lake sunset cruise, however, feel free to bring a cooler with beverages, sodas, beer, champagne and any snack you’d like while onboard! You are also welcome to bring a Bluetooth speaker for music. Remember to dress in layers and don’t forget a warm jacket. It can be 20 degrees cooler on the water and it will only get colder as the sun sets. 

All safety equipment, including life jackets, will be provided by Go Sail Flathead Lake for your Flathead Lake sunset charter. A knowledgeable captain will be on board to sail your boat, provide sailing instruction (if you are interested), and share information about Flathead Lake’s history and 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.
