All daysailers are tiller-steered for responsive handling and are equipped with roller-furling jibs, classic mainsails, and outboard engines. Available with or without a Captain.
Bareboat Charters
Let Sail Solomons arrange a magical vacation charter on the Chesapeake Bay. Skipper yourself or have one of our experienced captains helm your beautiful sailboat and enjoy all the Chesapeake has to offer.
Sunset Cruise
Sail away for a relaxing or romantic evening aboard one of our luxury charter sailboats. Bring your own appetizers/dinner and beverages and enjoy the beautiful sunset on the Patuxent. Sunset cruises are ideal for two-four people, but can accommodate up to six guests.
Itineraries
Just inside the mouth of the Patuxent River, Solomons Island, Maryland is not only one of the top cruising destinations on the Chesapeake Bay, but truly the gateway to cruising the Middle Bay. Whether you’re looking for a daysail or full week’s cruising, we recommend several itineraries to consider in your planning. Most are very “do-able” in a mid-size cruising sailboat with 4-6’ draft. View our recommended itineraries on our website now!
Flotillas
Join Sail Solomons for a fantastic flotilla week this winter! A flotilla allows you to “Cruise in Company” – you’ll sail as captain or crew on a beautiful, well-equipped charter yacht, escorted by a lead boat/flotilla leader who is a local area expert. Flotillas give you the freedom to do as you please, with the security of knowing that there is help readily on hand. It’s a great balance of independence and support for new and seasoned sailors alike.
