Description
LET’S GO SAILING! is Burlington’s premier charter sailing experience. Captain Gideon’s hospitality and attention to detail is what makes Let’s Go Sailing so memorable. Enjoy a unique and enjoyable experience on Lake Champlain. You’ll see the city of Burlington from a whole new perspective along with Vermont’s Green Mountains and Adirondacks of New York. This backdrop is a photographer’s dream!
Corporate outings, a sail with family and friends, bachelorette or birthday parties are all great ideas to sail Lake Champlain on a private boat charter. Each two hour sail is fun and memorable for all!
Guests are welcome to participate in the sailing or sit back and relax. No sailing experience is required.
Please note:
- All sails require a minimum of two passengers with a maximum of six. There could be several parties sailing simultaneously.
- Cancellation policy: You may cancel your reservation up to 48 hours.
- If the weather forecast suggests a chance of precipitation of more than 30% you may cancel by the morning of the scheduled cruise.
- You may bring any alcohol and any food.
- We are dog friendly! However, if the dog shows any sign of aggression, it will not be allowed to get on the boat (and will be ordered off it at the closest dock if it is already on).

This was a great sailing experience. We did the one at 5pm in early July and it was perfect weather and beautiful views. Captain Gideon was friendly and skilled. It was a small ship and we ended up being the only 2 on the ship. It was a wonderful experience. Will do again next time we are in Burlington.

Had a great time, there were showers in forecast and Captain reached out to move up our sailing time, it was perfect. Our 13 and 15 yr old daughters really enjoyed getting to sail! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

A beautiful way to appreciate our lake and mountains and Gideon managed to get our young overtired initially unenthusiastic granddaughter to have a fun time with her giggling and enjoying the unique experience at the helm. Thank you Gideon!! We all left so grateful for our two hour sailing cruise and to have made your acquaintance!

This was our first time sailing! It was a windy day but our skipper was great and we thoroughly enjoyed it. He knew a lot about the history of the region, battles fought, and more recent developments. Very entertaining.

A fine experience for family visiting and my partner and me. Nothing to do but relax, observe, and listen to good information on the lake’s history from Gideon including personal judgements about fact v fiction from a natural teacher. And managing the equipment for this vessel is skill and hard work. I recommended our experience to others. Thank you.

Had a good time on a beautiful day with blue skies and good conversation. The wind didn’t cooperate as much as we had hoped but the views didn’t disappoint.
Gideon Bavly (verified owner) –
Thank you, Martha! We’re so glad you enjoyed the day, the company, and those stunning views — even if the wind had other plans. Hope we can sail with a little more breeze next time! ⛵

We live locally but do not often get out on the lake. It was such a great afternoon. Gideon is a wonderful Captain and creates a relaxing and enjoyable experience for all his guests.
The other’s on our trip were tourists and it was fun to hear about their visit and how much they loved Vermont!
I highly recommend Let’s Go Sailing!
