relaxation & fun
Sunset Cruises / Daytime Charters
Charters aboard Windsong last 3 hours. They include Captain and crew and most importantly charter insurance!
We like to create an event that creates an amazing memory of sailing aboard a classic yacht on Galveston Bay. Every charter is private and about you! Many people enjoy the event from either of her spacious decks or from inside the cockpit.
We have speakers that play on deck so you are welcome to bring your own music aboard or elect to have the silence without engines running, the bow cutting through the water and the wind in her sails. You are welcome to bring your own cooler and snacks aboard.
We are always on the look-out for dolphin sightings as we sail out towards the ship channel!
cake & champagne
Wedding Charters
Windsong is happy to decorate for your event! Garland of Wedding flowers and white wedding tulle flow from her and attract attention from other vessels or people on shore as we pass through the Clear Lake channel past the Kemah Boardwalk and sail Windsong on Galveston Bay. We consider the sea conditions and plan the event to suit your needs. You can bring your own official for your ceremony (this person is part of the passenger count). You can take photographs or we are happy to take shots or video for you as well as you commit your lives together. Dress has been very casual to simple Wedding gowns with flip flops. We can help you with your music selection with speakers that play on deck. We will assist you in serving your snacks, champagne & cake on board.

Windsong will help you create a memorable occasion to one of the most important days in your life. You can plan to drop off romantic picnic baskets, champagne or flowers in advance. Do you have a favorite song you want to start playing as you signal “the time” is here? We will work with you and help you plan your special charter which will be commemorated with photos!
honoring loved ones
Memorial Charters
To grant the final wishes of a loved one on a classic beautiful yacht is very rewarding. Windsong is the largest sailboat chartering on Galveston Bay. Her study construction makes her a stable and comfortable ride for all ages of passengers. We motor out to be the appropriate distance from shore where biodegradable containers, wreaths, flowers or just remains are gently cast into the sea. Favorite music, prayers, stories, silence have all occurred during your special charter. We can toll the ships bell for a passing of a soul as the celebration of life is memorialized for your loved one.
We have watched peace replace grief as we are very compassionate and caring when we consider your individual charter needs at this very personal time.
