Getting There
Intelligent Sailing is based at The Harborage Marina in St. Petersburg, just off I‑275. Take the Pinellas Bayway exit and follow local signage toward the waterfront—once inside the marina entrance, look for the Intelligent Sailing dock where the monohull fleet is moored. Ample parking and dockside facilities make arriving and getting on the water straightforward.
Best Time to Go
In St. Petersburg, late spring through early summer brings reliably warm temperatures and steady southerly breezes ideal for sailing.
