2026 ANNUAL SAIL AWARDS CELEBRATION BREAKFAST

Celebrating the People Who Help Navarre Rise

Well… apparently Hurricane Isaias heard how awesome Navarre is and decided to stop by for a visit! 🌴🌀

While that was certainly not part of our event planning, one thing we know about the Navarre community is this: when circumstances change, we adjust, come together and keep moving forward.

In the days following Hurricane Isaias, many of our Chamber Members and community partners are still cleaning up homes and businesses, working with insurance companies, feeding employees and neighbors, and trying to prepare for what is normally one of the busiest times of the year.

With that in mind, the Navarre Beach Area Chamber of Commerce is making a change to this year’s Annual SAIL Awards celebration.

Instead of the formal evening Gala originally planned for Saturday, November 14, we are turning the event into a super fun Annual SAIL Awards Celebration Breakfast on Friday, November 20th - giving our community an opportunity to come together, reconnect and recognize the incredible businesses, organizations and individuals who have gone above and beyond this year.

And after everything 2026 has brought our way, we can think of no better time to celebrate the people who continue to show up for Navarre.

CELEBRATING:

• SUCCESS
  ACHIEVEMENT
  INSPIRATION
  LOCAL IMPACT

The Annual SAIL Awards recognize individuals, businesses and organizations whose:

S — Success
A — Achievement
I — Inspiration
L — Local Impact

help make the Navarre area such an exceptional place to live, work, visit and do business.

This year’s recognition will feel especially meaningful as we celebrate those who have demonstrated leadership, resilience, generosity and a commitment to helping our community through both the everyday challenges and the unexpected ones.

Our 2025 SAIL Award recipients will once again help us celebrate the next class of honorees by recognizing the 2026 nominees, before this year’s recipients are announced.

It is a special Chamber tradition that reminds us how one person’s impact can inspire the next - and how those positive ripples continue throughout our community.
 

PULL UP A CHAIR AT NAVARRE’S COMMUNITY TABLE

While Hurricane Isaias may have changed our plans for a Culinary Tour of Navarre, it certainly is not going to stop us from celebrating our incredible local restaurants.

Instead, we are creating Navarre’s Community Table.

Local restaurants and food businesses will be invited to become part of the celebration by sharing a taste of what they do best and helping us create a breakfast experience that reflects the heart, flavor and hospitality of the Navarre area.

Because when our community faces challenges, we gather around the table.

We connect.
We support one another.
We share stories.
And we celebrate the people who make Navarre special.

A CELEBRATION OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS

This year’s SAIL Awards will be a little different - a little more relaxed, a lot of fun, and perhaps more meaningful than ever.

No evening dress-up required.

Just come ready to enjoy a great breakfast, reconnect with friends and colleagues, celebrate some extraordinary people and businesses, and be reminded of what makes the Navarre community so special.

Join us as we celebrate resilience, recognize excellence and gather around Navarre’s Community Table for a morning dedicated to the people who continue to make a difference.

Because hurricanes may change our plans…

But they will never change the spirit of Navarre. 💙

We hope you will join us for the 2026 Annual SAIL Awards Celebration Breakfast!
