Beneteau Oceanis 50 Cruising Yacht in Rock Hall, Maryland
HIGHLY recommend Capt Joe for a fantastic sailing experience out of Rock Hall. Joe worked with us to get a last-minute booking when another booking fell through. He and his crew are experts and you will not be disappointed. He let us take the helm and participate as much or as little as we wanted to. Sol Searcher is a beautiful, well-equipped boat - plenty of comfort and speed (wind dependent of course.)

Private Yacht Charter: On 40ft Regal Commodore
GREAT experience!!! Captain Dennis was terrific. He was professional, yet fun & extremely well prepared. The yacht was clean & well maintained with all the amenities that we could ask for. Our only regret is that we did not book a longer cruise on Seas the Day.

Captain Dennis was exceptional—punctual, professional, and allowed us to have a great time. The boat itself was in perfect condition, with all the necessary equipment and some luxurious extras, like the floating 🏝️, that made the day truly enjoyable. The excellent service and the beautiful setting made it an unforgettable birthday party. I highly recommend Captain Dennis for anyone looking to host a memorable and top-notch maritime event.

38' Hunter 376 Cruising Monohull in Annapolis, Maryland
Our sailing trip exceeded our expectations! Captain Alberto is a complete treasure: he shared his sailing knowledge and involved us in the sail as much as we wanted - The boat was clean and comfortable with space to enjoy the trip both above and below deck. We only had 2 in our party, but 6 people would absolutely be comfortable given the space. We hope to book a trip with Capt. Alberto again!
