50ft Catamaran Charter with Water Toys - Annapolis, MD
We intentionally booked a late afternoon cruise around the Chesapeake so we would return around sunset to get great views and photos. Kristal was super responsive in preparing us and Captain Wayne and his 'first mate' Mish were super helpful with capturing the perfect photos. We would definitely book again!

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of sailboats can I rent?
You can rent a wide range of sailboats including small day sailors, catamarans, sloops, and luxury sailing yachts. Options vary by location and skill level.
Do I need sailing experience to rent a sailboat?
Not always. If you’re an experienced sailor, you can book a bareboat rental in many locations. Otherwise, you can hire a captained sailboat where a licensed skipper handles navigation and safety.
How much does it cost to rent a sailboat?
Costs depend on the boat size, location, and whether it's captained or bareboat. Small sailboats start around $100–$300 per day, while larger or luxury sailboats can range from $500 to $2,000+ per day.
What’s the difference between a captained and bareboat sailboat rental?
A captained rental includes a professional skipper who handles the sailing. A bareboat rental means you're responsible for sailing the vessel yourself and usually requires proof of sailing experience or certification.
How long can I rent a sailboat for?
Sailboat rentals are available by the hour, for a full day, or for multi-day charters. Multi-day charters are popular for exploring coastal destinations or island-hopping.
Can I go overnight or on multi-day trips with a sailboat rental?
Yes, many sailboats are equipped for overnight charters with cabins, bathrooms, and kitchens. Check listings for sleeping capacity and amenities before booking.
What should I bring on a sailboat trip?
Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, non-slip shoes, layered clothing, and snacks or drinks if not provided. If you're staying overnight, pack light and bring essentials like toiletries and swimwear.
Are sailboat rentals suitable for beginners?
Yes, with a captain on board. If you're new to sailing, booking a captained charter is a great way to learn the ropes or simply relax while someone else navigates.
Can I book a sailboat for a special event?
Absolutely. Sailboats are a unique choice for proposals, anniversaries, sunset cruises, team outings, and small celebrations. Be sure to mention the occasion when booking.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day of my rental?
If conditions are unsafe, most operators will reschedule or offer a refund. Light wind or overcast skies may not cancel a booking, but safety is always the priority.
