If you have a group of 7 or more please call 410-726-9400 to find out about other options. We are a booking agent for a sail boat here in St Michaels that can take up to 24 passengers and wed be happy to make that reservation for you!

It is at the captain’s discretion to cancel due to weather. This decision is made 15 minutes prior to departure. There is no charge* if we do not sail due to unsafe weather.
We often get asked “Does the sailing take place rain or shine?” If our guests are game we do go out if it is lightly misting, but not in heavy rain.

- We understand that unforeseen circumstances, such as traffic or family emergencies, can arise. Unfortunately, missed trips are non-refundable. We recommend planning your journey to arrive well in advance to account for potential delays. If you anticipate challenges in making it to your scheduled trip, please contact us as soon as possible.

Your understanding and cooperation are greatly appreciated.

Children of all ages are welcome aboard the Selina II. We love kids! We have infant, toddler, childrens, tweens, teens and youth life jackets to fit all sizes and ages. The U.S. Coast Guard considers all children (regardless of how small they are or what age they are) to be passengers, and as such, you need to purchase a ticket for each child. For example, mom, dad, and their six-month-old are three guests, not two.

Yes, we welcome canine guests!
- If it is 80′ or warmer we ask that you leave fido behind, its so uncomfortable for them in the heat.
- Please note that a $25 cleaning fee applies for pets aboard Sail Selina II to ensure a comfortable experience for all guests. Thank you for your understanding! Charged the day of your sail.
- As you may know, Selina II has lots of varnished surfaces, easily scratched by tiny claws, so we simply ask that pets be in a carrier — like a bag or basket — or wearing booties. That way, when something exciting happens (a bird flies over, a bee buzzes about, a big wave rocks the boat) and your pup scrambles, the scrambling doesn’t end up damaging the boat.
Captain Iris hates this, but since guests have broken the rules and their dogs have damaged the boat, we have a $100 fee if Fido gets loose. Since that policy got put in place, all our guests are very attentive to their pets’ paws.
We recommend that you have Fido in their booties 5 minutes before departure to be ready to board at that time. If it is the first time they have used booties you may want to practice ahead to know how long it will take you to get their booties securely on their paws.
We hope we get to have you and your people-friendly pet aboard!
-
Yes, you are welcome to bring your own food aboard. We simply ask that it be clean food that will leave no traces after you are gone. So, for example, crusty French bread makes a terrible mess, fried chicken is a greasy no-no, brownies also are verboten — anything that crumbles or flakes or drips should be avoided. We do not have a vacuum cleaner aboard. Thanks!

On outings where it is not included, sodas, beer, wine, and Champagne are available for sale. Bottled water is supplied and is complimentary. Our BYOB cork fee is $25.
Our Champagne is a Cava from Spain, delightful!
Our wines are Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Sav Blanc, and a juicy red blend from California
Our cold beers are Heavy Seas Loose Cannon IPA, Bell’s Amber, and Coors Lite

Yes we have a very clean marine head onboard; however, it is limited and is down 4 steps, so we recommend for your comfort that guests take advantage of the shore-side facilities inside the Harbour Inn before embarking.
