day sailing
Short recreational voyage
Day sailing is recreational sailing done within a single day, typically close to shore, without overnight stays aboard.
Unlike cruising or racing, day sailing emphasizes leisure—a few hours on the water for enjoyment rather than competition or travel: We took the boat out for some day sailing on the bay.
A day sailer is a small boat designed for this purpose.
