Sailing with Captain James was a dream!! You will not regret this experience! Not only is he hospitable, he is full of life and passion which only made our trip better. We enjoyed every part of our trip the only sad part was that we didn’t book longer. 100/10 would book with Captain James again!!

38' Hunter 376 Cruising Monohull in Annapolis, Maryland

Our family of four, who are experienced sailors, appreciated the opportunity to sail with Alberto and his lovely wife, who shared lots of great stories and reflections of sailing on the Bay. The boat was perfect for a day of sailing, and exactly how described on the website. It was clean and comfortable and we felt completely welcomed, and were able to participate in sailing activities as we desired, while also relaxing and enjoying some downtime. Great time sailing!

What a great experience for my team!!! Everyone loved this different way to visit DC- service was impeccable. The boat was perfect for our group of twelve. Lisa and Marque were amazing. Couldn't have asked for more !!! They had cocktail ice and coolers ready and a beautiful charcuterie tray we added on. Thank you !

Beneteau Oceanis 50 Cruising Yacht in Rock Hall, Maryland

HIGHLY recommend Capt Joe for a fantastic sailing experience out of Rock Hall. Joe worked with us to get a last-minute booking when another booking fell through. He and his crew are experts and you will not be disappointed. He let us take the helm and participate as much or as little as we wanted to. Sol Searcher is a beautiful, well-equipped boat - plenty of comfort and speed (wind dependent of course.)

$400HR Weekday | $750 HR Weekend| 6-20PPL

AJ was wonderful to work with - very professional, great communication! Shawn, our captain, was very welcoming an made sure we got amazing photos of the monuments and skyline at night. So much fun!

Captain Alberto and Grace were amazing, and helped with a very romantic sunset sail. The were ver gracious, accommodating, and knowledgeable. If we get the chance we will definitely come back and hire them again!

The Renter can not invoke 'bad weather' and request a refund as reason for cancellation unless the Captain or the Boat Owner agrees to it. For captained charter, the Captain will make the decision if the weather conditions are dangerous to get out on the water. Cloudy skies or a slight chance of rain are not grounds for cancellation or rescheduling. If a cancellation or rescheduling due to bad weather is necessary, either the Renter or the Boat Owner must send an email to [email protected] stating the reason. If the Renter sends such a request, the email must include a written confirmation from the Boat Owner. Read more details here .

Because we love the ocean

Sailing is a great way to experience nature. So we like to remind everyone that keeping nature as beautiful as possible involves a little effort from all of us. Some of our tips for responsible boating include:

• Don’t litter or throw waste overboard - take rubbish home and dispose of it responsibly
• Eco-friendly sunblock can help prevent damage to marine life
• buy local and sustainable food products

However long you’re sailing for, a little goes a long way. Read more about responsible boating.
