The operation

A family-owned marina business that does more than charters

Owners Rose Ann and Chuck Points run St Augustine Sailing from 3076 Harbor Drive at Camachee Cove, alongside their yacht brokerage, All Points Yacht Sales. Rose Ann cruised the Columbia River as a child, moved to Florida in 1996 and lived aboard a ketch with her children for 13 years; Chuck started sailing at 15. The company is a certified American Sailing Association training facility, and the site says several of its USCG captains began as customers.

The crew page names a full office: Grace as office manager, a staff photographer, a food curator and a sommelier for the culinary sails, and an operations manager, Lance Burkin, who maintains the fleet. The yachts are one to three years old, per the fleet page, and private charters take up to six guests.

“For me, it’s all about the experiences. It’s about the adventure.”
Rose Ann Points, owner, on the Our Story page

Names and titles as listed on the company’s crew page. Captains named on the page include Chris, Kevin, Dale, Nuri, Dan, Kim, George, Bill, Lauren, Daniel, Scott, Evan, Jeremy and Lisa.
