Flathead Lake Boat Tours

Arrive at the Go Sail Flathead Lake office (43546 C Street in Dayton) 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 Dayton Harbor! 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 the Dayton shoreline, Wild Horse Island, and Big Arm Bay 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.

You may cancel or no show, at any time subject to the following penalties:
Any cancellations more than 60 days prior to the start time of 10% of the payment collected.
Any cancellations between 60 and 30 days prior to the start time 50% of the payment collected.
Cancellation or no show, less than 30 days prior to the start time 100% of the payment collected.
If YOU choose to change the date of your reservation to a different date a $100 rebooking fee will apply. We will send you a gift card for $100 less than what you paid to be used for booking alternate date.

Cancellations must be notified to us by phone or email and confirmed for approval. The penalties will be calculated from the date we receive your cancellation.
We may need to cancel a course due to unforeseen circumstances or natural events outside the control of Go Sail Partners, LLC including but not limited to lake wind advisories, thunderstorms, heavy rain, extreme cold, or high wind areas. We send you a gift card of the value so you can book an alternative date.
We reserve the right to cancel a trip at any time without reason. If we cancel without reason, we shall return all collected payments paid by you.
