Our goal is to provide a relaxed sailing environment with enthusiastic instructors. The Fleet Reef Runner Sailing operates a variety of vessels in its fleet.

View Courses ATHENA Athena is a beautiful Seidelmann 37 sloop, from the racer/cruiser era. With a spacious cabin and sleek lines, she is an ideal coastal cruiser. She is very comfortable and easy to sail with her fin keel and spade hung rudder. Athena is the highlight of every event, anchorage, and marina. Not only because she's pretty, but she has a heck of story! DÉJÀ VU Déjà Vu is a beautiful Pearson 367 sloop, equipped with all the modern systems you could ask for in a boat with a spacious cockpit and cabin, a galley, head and salon area. She is extremely comfortable, easy to sail, and is an excellent vessel on which to spend nights and days exploring the gorgeous Florida waters. TRIDENT Trident is a 25' Catalina sloop with a wing keel that makes it a breeze to recover from soft groundings and sneak up on some awesome anchorages. She also has a furling headsail, roomy cockpit, outboard motor, and other amenities that will make her a pleasure to day sail in the waters of St. Andrews Bay. She is perfect for ASA basic training levels and also for bareboat charters in the Panama City, FL area. ATLAS Atlas is a classically designed Pearson 31-2. She is one of the best designed sailboats for teaching purposes utilizing a typical sail inventory, wing keel, wheel steering, inboard motor propulsion and comfortable sleeping space for 4-6 persons. Forgiving yet responsive, Atlas is one of our primary teaching boats. She is at home crossing the Gulf or just cruising the Bay. SPARROW Sparrow is a traditional New England designed Cape Dory 28 by boatbuilder Carl Alberg. With her full-length keel and keel-hung rudder, she is a rugged little cruiser that is offshore capable. Sparrow is the stuff dreams are made of. With her hank-on head sail configuration, rugged main, and heavy keel, she can travel the world. She is our only vessel that operates in Maine waters.

Jeremy, one of ASA's 2020 outstanding instructors of the year, is the owner and primary captain for Reef Runner Sailing. Born and raised near the Texas Gulf Coast, always had a passion for the sand, salt, and seas that coastal life offers. After traveling the country he settled back down on the Gulf Coast to follow his love of sailing. Capt. Jeremy learned to sail on a sunfish and eventually larger boats in Kemah, Texas. Small boat sailing, and dinghy cruising consumed his life and Jeremy made the jump from Corporate America to Reef Runner Sailing. Having successfully managed large teams of managers for a Fortune 500 company while creating several small start-up businesses, Jeremy combines those talents and passions to focus on managing Reef Runner Sailing. Erica Erica grew up on the waters of Midcoast Maine. As the granddaughter of a classic wooden boatbuilder, being on the water is in her blood. She helps to run the Reef Runner Sailing office and joins her husband, Capt. Jeremy, on classes when she can. Capt. Pete Capt. Pete and Tish, founders of Reef Runner Sailing in 1999, decided it was time for a new course and turned over the helm to Jeremy in the fall of 2017. While they remain actively available to the current team, they are focused on Reef Runner Yacht Sales in and out of the Panama City area. They hope to stay in touch with the numerous students and friends they’ve come to know over their many years of sailing. If you are interested in buying or selling a boat, or just want to say “Hello,” don’t hesitate to drop them a line or give them a call!
