Local's Month with St Augustine Sailing
Ahoy, St. Augustine locals! September is here, and with it comes the perfect opportunity to set sail with St. Augustine Sailing at a discount. As part of St. Johns County’s Local Discount Month, we’re thrilled to offer exclusive savings on our private and shared sailing charters for the month of September. Plus, we’re launching an exciting new experience — the Mariner’s Book Club — that combines the joy of reading with the thrill of sailing.
Locals Month: Special Savings Just for You
St. Johns County celebrates September as Local Discount Month, a time to give back to our community with exclusive offers for residents. At St. Augustine Sailing, we’re joining the fun with 10% off all charters for locals during the the month of September. But that’s not all — if you have a St. Johns County Public Library card, you can enjoy an additional 5% off!
The library is also making a big push for Library Card Sign-Up Month in September. If you don’t have a library card yet, now’s the perfect time to get one — not only for the extra savings but also to dive into the world of books, which ties perfectly into our newest offering.
