Sailing first. Book club optional.

A clear, simple sailing experience.

The Floating Book Club is anchored around a precise offer: a two-hour private sailing session on Ruedi Reservoir. Guests come to sail, breathe, disconnect, and experience the mountains from the water.

The reading and reflection layer is available for those who want a deeper conversation, but the primary promise is simple: a beautiful, well-held alpine sail.

Personal growth vehicle

Less screen. More sky.

This is not a lecture, a retreat, or a complicated club. It is a small ritual: get outside, learn something real, follow the wind, and make space for the kind of conversation that rarely happens indoors.

  • Disconnect from screens and schedules.
  • Learn the foundations of sailing.
  • Share a book, question, or idea if the moment calls for it.
  • Leave with greater clarity and a stronger memory of place.

The Floating Book Club layer

Bring a book. Or simply bring your attention.

The sailing experience comes first. For readers, seekers, and creative travelers, the optional book club moment turns the sail into a deeper exchange: one passage, one question, one idea worth carrying back to shore.

For Visitors

A memorable Aspen-area experience that feels intimate, grounded, and unlike a standard tour.

For Locals

A recurring outdoor ritual for slowing down, sailing better, and meeting thoughtful people.

For Groups

A private session for friends, families, retreats, hotel guests, or creative leadership gatherings.
