Day, Sunset, and overnight charters
s/v Sol Searcher
is a 2011 Beneteau Oceanis 50. She is well equipped and quite comfortable for sailing charters. The cockpit has ample seating for 6 guests and a head (bathroom) is available for your use. Dodger and bimini provide protection from the elements but the foredeck is always open to sunset sail lovers. A full enclosure provides the ultimate protection in the shoulder seasons. She is a CE CLASS A (designed for large sea voyages everywhere) yacht and carries all USCG safety requirements.

I have been sailing all of my life. My father built his first boat, a little skiff with an outboard motor. He eventually became interested in sailing and purchased a GP14. He and friends would sail much of the upper Chesapeake Bay in that little boat. One of the infamous stories is negotiating to pay only half the ramp launching fee at Sandy Point State Park and heading north to Elkneck State Park. Quite an ambitious undertaking for three guys in a 14 foot sailboat. By the time I came along our family had a Meridian 25 docked in Havre de Grace, MD. By the time I turned seven my parents had upgraded to a Sabre 28 named "Poinciana," after the song, and I would sail on that boat for the next 22 years before losing my dad to cancer. Over those years I got to share time on the water with him in various boats of my own, including a Hobie 16, Precision 23, and a Grady White. In 2005 I bought my dream boat, a 1990 Sabre 38mkII named "Voila", he truly would have appreciated that boat. She was the boat that Sabre took to the NY boatshow that year, he would have been on board her then. My mom did sail many miles on "Voila." Now I have Beneteau Oceanis 50 for my sailing charter . She's big, beautiful, fast, and has all the comforts of home. Come experience a Chesapeake Bay sunset sail .

It's really simple!
I'll be ready to go and the boat will be ready to go on time. You can bring food and drinks. If the weather is going to bad we can reschedule. Just pick a date and drop me a line. Sunset sails leave the dock 2.5 hours before sunset.
