Summer Sailstice - A Global Sailing Holiday

Sail Locally, Celebrate Globally!

Founded in 2001 by John Arndt, Summer Sailstice is the global sailing holiday celebrated on the weekend closest to the summer solstice. The event, created to unite the sailing community in a mutli-faceted, multi-location event, unites nearly 20,000 sailors from all over the globe. Cruisers, racers, and recreational sailors hit the water on Summer Sailstice day to celebrate and showcase life under sail. This is a perfect opportunity to sharpen your sail trimming skills and to join other sailing enthusiasts for a day of celebration and fun.

For the Summer Sailstice Day Sail, check-in is at 10 am, followed by a captain and crew briefing. We will depart the dock at 10:30 am. Depending on the consensus of the sailors, we can sail towards Redfish Island to anchor, eat, and swim or we can spend more time sailing in Galveston Bay. We will return to the dock around 4 pm.
