Your Captain
Licensed, local, and passionate
Your charter will most likely be captained by Capt. Noah DeBickero, owner and operator of Teal Tide Sailing and a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed 100 Ton Master. Noah lives and sails these waters year-round and knows every channel, sandbar, and sunset angle on Tampa Bay.
Occasionally, your charter may be led by one of our other USCG-licensed captains, including Capt. Richie Mahoney (1600/3000 Ton Master) or Capt. Michael Martin (100 Ton Master). Every captain on our crew meets the same standard of professionalism, local expertise, and genuine hospitality.

My wife and I booked a sunset cruise with Teal Tide Sailing Charters, and it was hands-down one of the best date nights we’ve ever had. If you’re looking for a romantic thing to do in St. Pete, this is it. Captain Noah was fantastic! He was friendly, professional, and made the whole experience feel incredibly intimate without ever hovering. The boat was beautiful, the water was calm, and the sunset looked unreal. We felt like we had the entire gulf to ourselves. It was the perfect mix of relaxing, romantic, and memorable. We’ll absolutely be booking again.
If you’re looking for an extraordinary sailing experience, look no further than Captain Noah. From the moment we stepped aboard his stunning vessel, it was clear we were in the hands of someone who truly loves the sea — and loves sharing it with others. Noah didn’t just take us out on the water; he read it. Using his expert local knowledge, he knew exactly where pods of dolphins were gathering, and he brought us right into the heart of the action. Watching these magnificent creatures leap and play alongside the boat was pure magic — the kind of moment you replay in your mind long after you’ve returned to shore. What sets Noah apart is his rare combination of skill and warmth. He’s the kind of captain who listens, adapts, and makes every person on board feel like the trip was designed just for them. His boat is as impressive as his seamanship — beautifully maintained and the perfect stage for a day you won’t forget. Six hours felt like sixty minutes. That’s how good this experience was. If you want a sailing adventure that delivers real wonder — not just a boat ride — Captain Noah is your guy.
Captain Noah was so accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time. 10/10 recommend
Took me and my family out on Cay Michele And she surely didn’t disappoint. Five stars from beginning to end. The boat was pristine, and the captain was great. We will surely be back . thanks again Captain Noah for the memories.
We recently had our engagement photos taken on the Teal Tide sailboat, and it was an absolutely amazing experience! The boat was immaculate and pristine, it was perfect. Noah, the captain was fantastic, very accommodating to the photographer and us making sure we got the best shots!!! We couldn't have asked for a better setting or service. Highly recommend!!!
We had an incredible sunset cruise on this beautiful sailboat. The boat is immaculate, detailed with gorgeous woodwork and extremely comfortable - truly a stunning setting to enjoy being out on the water Captain Noah was professional, knowledgeable and genuinely kind, making everyone feel at ease from the moment we stepped aboard. It doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes - but it's his warmth and attentiveness.. and the delicious food he catered that really set this experience apart If you're looking for a unique , elegant and unforgettable time on the water, I can't recommend this sailboat enough!
My fiancé and I decided to book St. Pete Sail Charters in St. Pete, Florida to take our engagement photos, and we are so glad we did. Sailing aboard the Cay Michele was the most perfect way to celebrate our engagement and take gorgeous photos to cherish for a lifetime. Captain Noah is incredibly personable and knowledgeable, and you can tell he takes pride in his boat. Every detail was thoughtfully cared for and beautifully maintained. We especially loved lounging on the back of the boat during the sunset! It felt peaceful, private, and so romantic. We also enjoyed the delicious cheese plate and wine that Captain Noah sourced from a local Italian market, which made the experience feel even more special. We highly recommend St. Pete Sail Charters and Captain Noah to anyone looking for a beautiful, intimate sailing experience!
An unforgettable evening on the water with a captain who clearly believes two things: a sailboat should be pristine, and guests should feel like VIPs. The boat was spotless and beautifully maintained. the kind of care you only get from an owner who truly loves what he does. Our captain (recognizable by his impressive long, flowing hair and effortless confidence at the helm) made the entire experience smooth, relaxed, and genuinely fun. We sipped excellent wine, cruised through some of the best sunset views St. Pete has to offer, and learned a surprising amount about the local waters along the way. His knowledge of the area made the sail feel personalized rather than scripted, and his attention to detail made it feel quietly luxurious. Between the scenery, the service, and the company, it felt less like a charter and more like being invited onto a very well-kept private yacht by someone who has everything dialed in. Would absolutely sail again and recommend to anyone looking for a memorable St. Pete sunset experience.
My family and I were visiting St Pete and this was BY FAR the highlight of the trip. We went on Captain Noah’s boat for a sunset cruise and it was incredible. Not only is boat extremely clean and comfortable, but captain Noah went above and beyond. He answered all of my questions about the boat and sailing, and is super knowledgeable about the area and points out key landmarks. Would definitely recommend and will be booking this again for my next trip to St Pete!
