THE ULTIMATE LUXURY EXPERIENCE

Virginia Beach Sailing Charters was founded by Captain Steve...

Capt Steve has completed a trans Pacific crossing,  Mediterranean and one trans Atlantic onboard Persuader Too. Capt Steve has over 30 years in the U.S. Coast Guard with over 9 years of sea duty. Captain Steve booked his first Caribbean private yacht charter  in 1990 and was hooked! No other vacation came close to the great experience they had chartering and cruising the Caribbean and Chesapeake Bay.  So in 2020 Virginia Beach Yacht Charters became a reality, the perfect combination of years of sea going service and love of the islands. From day one Virginia Beach Yacht Charters has been focused on one goal – offering outstanding customer service to help people have the best private yacht charter experience possible.

Testimonials

My fiancée and I really enjoyed our trip out with 757 sailing. It was a relaxing afternoon surrounded by a beautiful view and landmarks which the captains were very knowledgeable about it. They were very welcoming to us and we felt safe and at home our entire trip. I would highly recommend this to anyone on vacation or if you’re in the area wanting to try something new!

Tommy let me and my friend sail on a beautiful summer day. His lovely wife also accompanied us. I was itching to get out of the house due to the pandemic lock down. So I was looking for safe ways to do so and that’s when I found 757 Sailing Charters. The sailboat was beautiful and we even got to put our feet over the boat while we were sailing. Tommy made sure we were comfortable and safe, which was exactly what I needed for my first time sailing. I would definitely sail with him again. This was one of my favorite days, and it’s all thanks to 757 Sailing Charters.

757 Sailing Charters provided us with a wonderful afternoon of excitement and fun. I have never sailed before, and my hubby knows little about it too. However, 757 Sailing Charters made our first experience delightful and unique. It started on the dock with Captain Robert helping us on board and giving us the safety lesson. Captain Robert gave us a history of the area and pointed out unique things at the mouth of the James River as we motored out where we could use the sails. Since I had never sailed before, I appreciated the way Captain Robert explained how the boat worked with which sails he was using and how they made the boat heel. It is a beautiful vessel and a lovely experience with the wind pushing us along. The amenities on the boat were very nice and we could sit out in the sun or inside the cabin. They were attentive to our needs and made sure everything went smoothly. Thanks for the wonderful experience that afternoon.

Because we love the ocean

Sailing is a great way to experience nature. So we like to remind everyone that keeping nature as beautiful as possible involves a little effort from all of us. Some of our tips for responsible boating include:

• Don’t litter or throw waste overboard - take rubbish home and dispose of it responsibly
• Eco-friendly sunblock can help prevent damage to marine life
• buy local and sustainable food products

However long you’re sailing for, a little goes a long way. Read more about responsible boating.

Nixon Beach (Sandbar) is a popular boating destination spot which is situated approximately a quarter mile south west of Key Biscayne. It's a great place to anchor up for the afternoon and enjoy the weather, scenery and the people you happen to be with. At low tide the water is about waist deep and it's clear blue. It can be a little breezy at times which can cause the boat to rock a bit, but if your use to that then you won't have any problems. You can snorkel and paddle board here and the waters are usually very calm. On the weekends if the weather is nice, it will be packed with day trip boaters, so get here early to secure a nice spot. Now the historical footnote. The sandbar is named after Richard Nixon, the thirty seventh President of The United States. I do vaguely remember him as the President, so I'm aging myself here He vacationed frequently in Key Biscayne during the 1960s and had many political benefactors in the Miami area. Back then, Key Biscayne was more or less a sleepy area with one luxury hotel and a lot of small old Florida style single homes. In 1969, shortly after Nixon became President, he purchased three of these homes on Bay Lane, at well below market prices from Florida Senator George Smathers. The houses were in a compound that had a private beach. The Secret Service & US military had to construct a helipad to accommodate Marine One. The cost of the helipad and security upgrades to the residences was estimated at about 400k. Nixon made fifty trips there during the course of his Presidency (no, there wasn't an audio taping system in the place). Now here is the kicker, after resigning in 1974 he sold the properties, which included the helipad, at a huge profit (no, not a crook ) and was accused of benefiting from taxpayers expense. For you movie buffs Scarface was also filmed on Key Biscayne. The residences were torn down in '04 when a local real estate bought them and built a modern mansion. In addition to taking in the beautiful natural views, you can also admire the multi multi million dollar mansions that are now on Key Biscayne. Mr. Nixon probably should have held on to those properties a little bit longer.

If you haven't pulled up in your boat here during the peak summer months blasting your music then who are you? This is a major spot for boaters searching for a nearby spot to enjoy shallow waters amongst one of the most populated and lively water spots in miami. You can't swim over here so obviously a boat is required but be prepared for a plentiful bunch of party people. With a loaded cooler and plenty of music, you'll fit in just too. It's not for the faint of heart and unless it's on a weekday, I wouldn't label it kid-friendly on most summer weekends. It's not a far drive so arriving here doesn't take much fuel if you're coming from a nearby marina. Don't forget your sunscreen because it's crucial for those days where there's not a cloud in sight.

Ahhhh Nixon! A nice little sandbar just south of bear cut! Don't want to take your boar all the way to Elliot key well Nixon beach is a quarter of a mile south of Key Biscayne. The depth varies from as much as 5 feet to as little as 6 inches (depends on tide and how close you get to sandbar). This is a great place to tie up to a few boats have a BBQ and hang out in the water. He is a cool fact: Nixon beach is named after president Richard Nixon. Why you ask? Well the sandbar runs parallel to his old house on Key Biscayne (just south) so its pretty cool when you anchor up you see this beautiful house on its own little peninsula where a president used to live. FYI! we can rent a party boat its 2500 but its all day! Includes beer and chips! Plus kayaks and a water trampoline! If we get 40 people or so its roughly 70 per person anyone interested?

This was truly a beautiful beach, that had everything that you could ask for. There is the parking lot, Walking deeper in, then the park area where you can barbecue. Further walking you can see the restrooms and showers and then there is your view of the gorgeous beach -Nixon. I had a really great time here since usually I come to Florida for work, this was the only time I came and actually enjoyed the beach. Although it was packed with people, canopy's and full families having reunions full of fun, I found a nice spot for me and my loved ones near the palm trees. * "Sometimes coconuts fall" which is what we were told when we had just sat down , and the beach security asked us to move because we had children in our group, so we did. No biggie. The water was surprisingly clean, I guess since I am used to the muddy-green like waters we have in most spots of New York. I was impressed, the water though was freezing cold!it was a hot day (nearly 90) so it was such a treat to come here. I also noticed that you could drink beer and other alcoholic beverages here as long as they are not in glass bottles. I did not drink on my trip, but that is what I noticed. We stayed until sundown, and then it started to get cold, so we left, but I love that people didn't bother us and there is such a great community over there. I would definitely recommend to go and visit.

Always, nice to get away to the ocean, Nixon Beach is definitely a great spot to relax and enjoy the South Florida sun! Beautiful scenery and clean water with a near by sandbar. I recommend if commuting by boat, to bring some floating devices to attach to your vessel and lay out on the water.

Could not find this beach. Directins took us on a wild goose chase. Found a dumpy area and a neighborhood had to go somewhere else
