We Help to Protect Our Oceans

From day one, we have pledged to donate at least 1% of each dollar you spend with Layla Sailing to environmental causes through One Percent For the Planet.  In 2021 Captain Liz was elected as a Southold Town Trustee tasked with watching over our waterways. These are just some of the ways we’re making sure we do our part to preserve what we love.

Wonderful day with friends on the water – the boat is beautiful, comfortable and fun! Captain Liz was great, professional and she created a relaxing time for all of us. Glad we did the full day – will recommend to friends and be back soon! Thank you!

We had such an amazing time on Layla. The boat is truly beautiful. I’ve been coming out to Greenport since I was a young child and this truly made me fall in love all over again with Greenport. Highly recommended.

 Liz and Rachel were extremely professional. Thank you! I will definitely be doing this again.

My family had an incredible time onboard with Captain Liz. We were impressed with her ability to read the weather and navigate the perfect day for us. Thank you for thinking of every detail and introducing my kids to sailing for the first time.
