"Welcome Aboard !"

Enjoy the Chesapeake at its finest, aboard the "GARI" my 35' Island Packet catamaran. Sailor for Hire is now offering a variety of outstanding charters out of the Beacon Marina in Solomons Island, MD.

Private, Group, Instructional or Team Building Charters, Sailor for Hire is now accepting bookings!

Why not book a TEAM building Cruise! Bring your office personal out for a day of sailing and have them come back as a CREW! Team building helps build communication and confidence and it a great way to connect with your staff on a relaxing sail. All trips start on the beautiful Island of Solomons about 90 minutes from DC.

Some of the highlights of your Chesapeake Charter:

Sailing with two clients

  • Historical Lighthouses
  • Marine life (dolphins, ospreys and the famous blue crab)
  • Hands on instructional sailing (taking the helm / working the sails)
  • ....and Happy Hour
The GARI can accomodate nine comfortably for a day's sail. If you are interested in an overnight or multiple day charter, four is very comfortable. Some of my favorite overnight destinations include:
  • Slaughter Creek
  • Honger River
  • Oxford
There are many exciting opportunies for relaxaion or adventure on a overnight charter. One can enjoy the serene setting of the starlit bay while swinging from the hammock. Or take one of the kayaks through the meandering tidal creeks. I know where all the best restraunts and bed and breakfasts are to tie up and have a great meal Contact Me for bookings and additional details.

One day sail aboard the GARI- $600.00
Two day sail aboard the GARI- $1100.00
Three day sail aboard the GARI- $1500.00

The Sailor for Hire rate for an instructional sail on your vessel is still just $350.00
