Sailing the Chesapeake

The Chesapeake Bay is one of the best sailing grounds on the East Coast. Protected waters, beautiful shorelines, and enough variety to keep things interesting — whether you want a relaxing sunset or a proper offshore experience.

I've been sailing these waters for over 15 years. As a USCG 100-ton captain, I can take you out for a memorable experience, or help you gain the confidence to charter on your own.
