These sails generally last from 5 to 8 hours in length, beginning in one port and ending in another. Day Sails give the captain and crew a chance to unfurl more of Sultana's canvas and sail somewhat harder than is usually possible during our two-hour sails. $50 per person/ no children under 12/ no return transportation/ Call for Reservations.
