We took the 3 hour sunset cruise and highly recommend this outing. Captain Matt is an awesome entertaining host and the cruise was so relaxing, we can't wait to come back again for another adventure. Sunset and Kemah nightlights were beautiful!

Captain Matt is awesome! He sails a great sunset cruise on the Bay of Galveston. This will be a must for future visitors. The actual sunset was such a thing of beauty!

“Best, most relaxing thing we did in Kemah!!”
5 of 5 starsReviewed September 8, 2015

We highly recommend going out with Captain Matt on this quaint sea adventure. This was such a laid back and relaxing time. Be sure to take your favorite beverages - there's plenty of room for storing a small cooler and a small bag (if you wanted to take snacks or your swim suit). There's room to sunbathe or just sit and relax with a nice glass of wine. One of the most enjoyable "tours" ever! I'd love to do a private party with this company someday ...

“SailawayCat ”
5 of 5 starsReviewed September 8, 2015 via mobile

I knocked off one wonderful sailing and dolphin watching excursion off of my bucket list. This beautiful catamaran is worth experiencing. I have recently visited Destin and Pensacola Beach and spent many hours looking for Dolphins. Little did I know they are right here in Clear Lake! Make SailawayCat one trip to remember! !

“Sailaway with Captain Matt- Excellent time! ”
5 of 5 starsReviewed August 29, 2015 via mobile

My husband and I took a charter with Captain Matt, and it was the most relaxing and enjoyable experience of our vacation to Galveston. The boat sailed out at Kemah Bay. We went on a three hour cruise for sunset. Captain Matt was an excellent host and provided very enjoyable and relaxing music for our trip. The sunset was beautiful and there was a gentle breeze for the trip. We loved our time on Sailaway Cat and plan to book again with Captain Matt in the future!!

“A boat ride, dolphins and great company- What more could you ask for?”
5 of 5 starsReviewed August 11, 2015

We had an amazing time with Captain Matt, the boat ride was absolutely incredible! There is nothing that we would have changed about the day, except to make it last longer. The boat was beautiful and spacious, the day was perfect and Matt was happy to stop for swim breaks whenever we requested. We were fortunate to see dolphins and we will absolutely be back, time and time again! 

We were celebrating a 30th birthday, but I would recommend Sailaway Clear Lake Charters for any type of outing (fits 12). 

Thank you Matt for an absolutely amazing day!

“Amazing Day with Captain Matt!!!”
5 of 5 starsReviewed August 8, 2015

Captain Matt took us out on the Sailaway Cat for an amazing day of sailing, swimming, and sightseeing. We saw and swam with the dolphins! Capt. Matt was great about making sure we spent as much time with the dolphins as possible! We even trekked out to Redfish Island for another refreshing swim in the cove. The boat was beautiful with plenty of room to eat, drink, sunbathe, or relax in the shade. This is a must do!! It is perfect for families, friends, or small corporate events!!! I cannot wait to go and play on the Sailaway Cat again!!! FABUOLOUS adventure!!!!

Sunset/fireworks cruise Kemah TX

by Sailaway Charters on 01/21/16

“Perfect night, best thing we did on our vacation”
5 of 5 starsReviewed July 29, 2015

Went on the Friday night sunset/fireworks cruise and it was amazing. This was a public cruise, when we got to the meeting spot there were two other couples also going on the trip ( can be up to 12 people). Captain Matt meets you at the spot and you follow him into the marina. From there we boarded the catamaran, I had never been on one but it was spacious and comfortable. captain Matt and his asst Michelle were great at making everyone feel at home, chatting with those that wanted to but also leaving people to enjoy themselves if they wanted to just sit. Michelle took as many picture as you wanted and had great recommendations for restaurants in the area for the rest of our trip. The whole experience was relaxing in a romantic, peaceful setting. I plan on booking with sail away every time I'm in the Houston area!

I have held several "Marketing Lunches" on this boat.
It was perfect for this. Excellent time.. Safe Captain and a great experience.
I would recommend this charter for any of your needs. They are willing to accommodate the charter to fit your needs and wants. 
Great service Great sailing and lots of fun.
The dolphin show we saw was a huge bonus. Not every time but several times.
Enjoy your time on Sailaway Clear lake Charters. I know once you try it you wont be sorry!

“Excellent Sailing Outing”

Captain Matt led our group on a four hour sailing outing. He made the trip feel safe, easy and very fun. The coordination during the lead up to the trip was also very easy. We will definitely be back.

Sailing Charter on Catamaran

by Sailaway Charters on 01/21/16

“Wonderful way to spend a Saturday”
5 of 5 starsReviewed July 16, 2015

We had a fantastic time sailing out on the catamaran for sunset on Saturday. There were 12 of us and we came prepared with food, drink, and music. Captain Matt was laidback, helpful, friendly, and also tolerant of our perhaps dubious taste in sailing music (ex: Call Me Maybe). We went swimming and then watched the sunset out in Galveston Bay from the comfort of our stylish sailing vessel. It was a great reminder of how beautiful our surroundings can be (something one can easily forget living in Houston). We all had a great time and definitely plan on doing this again. Thanks Capt. Matt!

Sunset Cruise Kemah TX

“A New Family Tradition.....”
5 of 5 starsReviewed July 6, 2015

We sailed the sunset cruise on Friday and watched the fireworks from the boat that evening. We had 2 families with children from 4 to 13. Half way through the cruise, all the kids could talk about was making this an annual event and when can we come back again! Fantastic time, wonderful boat and a great person in Captain Matt! He certainly knows how to make this YOUR cruise and provide a great experience for everyone. Fantastic for families! We have no doubt found a new Family tradition.
