Perfect amount of time out on the calm water of the river with the family. We got to participate in the sailing and had a blast.

We had a lovely afternoon sail (with the wine tasting)! We were in town for our first anniversary, and the wine tasting sail was the perfect outing. We were with another few couples and the crew of 2. Our captain was genial and welcoming, and my husband even got to help hoist the sails!We also lucked out to have a beautiful day perfect for sailing, and there was a historic sailboat race in progress! Our captain used the opportunity to tell us all about the historic types of sailboats, it was very interesting and he was extremely knowledgeable. More...

My daughter and I had a wonderful experience sailing on the Selina II. The boat is a beautiful vessel. The scenery on the Chesapeake is spectacular, and having the opportunity to see it from the water is something we will always remember. The captain of the Selina II made our excursion comfortable as well as informative with her knowledge of the harbor and the beautiful estates along Lewes Creek. We had an excellent wine tasting during our trip which was especially appreciated on a chilly day. Thank you Paul!! Our service dog was welcome on board which we especially appreciated because he is an integral part of our family. Our time on the Selina II was completely wonderful!!! More...

To celebrate our second Babymoon, I had scheduled a week in St. Michaels with my wife & two year old son. Our time spent on the Selina II with Captain Chris & his First Mate, Paul, was by far the best part of our vacation. Not only were they knowledgeable & experienced in their craft, they were such well rounded people. We plan on making St. Michaels an annual occurrence- Sail Selina II will certainly be a part of the tradition. All the best to the Sail Selina II family.Your friends,John, Kim & Captain LJ More...

My husband and I spent a sunny Sept. afternoon with Capt. Chris and his first mate. This was our second sail on the Salina II. Enjoyed it so much last year that we came back, only this time had the boat to ourselves which was not only lucky but very relaxing. The boat is gorgeous and incredibly well maintained, and the crew are professional, friendly and very accomodating. We will make this an annual event! More...

Had an amazing wedding day on the Selina II. Captain Iris and her crew are professional sailors & made sure every detail of the day was perfect that was within their ability to control. The staff was responsive to emails and calls, always making sure we were informed. Our ceremony was short & sweet - Captain Iris had some excellent suggestions that we went with which everyone loved!

Capt Chris and Elizabeth made our sunset cruise the highlight of our stay in Maryland. They were simply fantastic hosts. Yes the nearly 100 year old wooden catboat was stunningly beautiful and meticulously maintained. But when the engines were cut and we were under sail, all the noise and stresses were replaced with champagne, hors d’oeuvres, conversation and a lovely sunset on the water. Thanks for making this a great, great evening. More...

The captain and his mate were extremely hospitable and kind. Our drinks were continuously filled with champagne and wine and the guides were informative of the history of the boat and St Michael's. We celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary at St. Michael's and the sailing experience was our favorite. Highly recommend! More...

Captain Iris and the First Mate John were great. They were welcoming, provided interesting commentary, and made us all feel like we were in good hands. There was no wind, which just blows, but they worked hard to make the trip fun. We'll try again another time and hope for more wind in the sail. More...

Fabulous experience. We had our wedding on this boat. Captain Iris and her crew made everything a special experience. Her personality and friendliness, her knowledge of the sea and the ship, and her family pride in this boat was evidence. As a minister for our wedding, she presented a intimate and personal experience that was unique for us. We are very grateful for everything she did and the experience itself of sailing on this majestic boat on the Chesapeake Bay was amazing. More...

I sailed twice on the Selina II during my stay at St Michael’s. I’m guessing anyone reading will understand what it means to sail twice on the same boat during the same stay. My first sail was with Capt. Chris and First mate Elizabeth; I called her “Libby.” Words can’t explain how nice and professional they were to me to make me return for a second sail. Capt. Iris the owner went above and beyond. I will definitely return to St Michael’s just to sail with the Selina II. Highly recommend it to all. More...

My husband and I sailed with Captain Iris while on our honeymoon. It was the best part of the whole trip--we booked the champagne cruise of the bay, and ended up with an exclusive charter. The weather was cool and a bit dreary, but it was an extraordinary sail nonetheless. We even got to see the sailboat race up close! We can't wait to come sail with Captain Iris again. More...
