AQUARIAN QUEST SAILS AGAIN!!!  AQ has taken delivery of the 40 passenger catamaran, SEA DRAGON.  She is now sailing in Sarasota and Nokomis Florida and available for school sails, camp sails, corporate sails, wedding sails and Sponsor Sails with adults & children.  We invite everyone to come see her and sail aboard.  School sails are generally in the morning and Sponsor Sails take place in the afternoon, usually at 2pm and 6pm.  These sails help to underwrite student sails where needed. Please contact us for rates and to book your sailing adventure aboard SEA DRAGON - 941-587-9313.  For details and more pictures of SEA DRAGON, click here. Some recent sails have been with The Center of Spiritual Awareness, Richard's Whole Foods, The Freedom Boat Club.  Your group is welcome aboard!

08/01/08 - AQ "Teach the Teacher" program heads for completion: We are excited the restoration of MV Smiley (an authentic 1940's Cortez fishing boat pictured above) is moving ahead very quickly! The restoration is a joint project between Aquarian Quest and the Florida Maritime Museum. The Museum is allowing AQ to use Smiley for our program that will introduce 6 teachers per voyage to the AQ education program. We plan to provide certain science equipment teachers can take back to their respective schools to share with their students. It is our hope that following these cruises, teachers will encourage many more students to sail aboard Sea Dragon, our 40 passenger "floating Classroom", to experience the program for themselves. Our sincere thanks to the Florida Martime Museum for their help in this wonderful project. We also recognize the hard work and many hours put into Smiley's rebuild by the Museum's Worshop Director, Bob Pitt and Rick Viera, AQ's Project Manager. Please see our "Program" page for more details.

08/243/08 - Home School Expo 2008: Aquarian Quest was present from 10am to 2pm to introduce our education programs to the Sarasota area home school community. Many felt that hands-on programs like AQ's could provide a wealth of learning and experience underscoring what parents and tutors are teaching the children from texts and other sources. There were approximately 100 young people interested in seeing what fun learning tools are available.  The home school movement seems alive & well in town and we look forward to sailing with the students and parents throughout the year!
