We are Female Owned & Operated
Layla Sailing was built by Liz Gillooly through the kindness of the other female captains who taught her everything she knows. She currently works with an all-female crew and helps to elevate women in this traditionally male-dominated industry.

We Give Back to Our Community
As year-round residents, the money you spend with us goes back into the community.
Layla also donates to local institutions including:
– Group for the East End
– The Orient Fire Department
– Peconic Land Trust
– Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk
– North Fork Arts Center.. and more!

Captain Liz is a Town Trustee
In 2021 Captain Liz was elected as a Southold Town Trustee tasked with watching over our waterways. As part of her job she reviews applications for all activity within 100 feet of the wetland and the first 1,000 feet of underwater land deeded to the Town Trustees by the Andros Patent, furthering her committment to preserve our most precious natural resource.

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.
We also use eco-friendly products, reusable glass water bottles, cloth napkins and real plates to limit our plastic consumption. These are just some of the ways we’re making sure we do our part to preserve what we love.
CLASSIC BEAUTY.
MEET YOUR CREW
Captain Liz and First Mates Natalie, Bridget, Sydney, Cara or Gianna are excited to show you the best day of summer! You’ll always have one captain and one crew per trip. Liz and her crew have extensive experience in hospitality and working on the water.
Their synergy, enthusiasm, and genuine love for what they do helps to ensure your trip is unmatched!
