"Welcome Aboard !"

Enjoy the Chesapeake at its finest, aboard the "GARI" my 35' Island Packet catamaran. Sailor for Hire is now offering a variety of outstanding charters out of the Beacon Marina in Solomons Island, MD.

Why not book a TEAM building Cruise! Bring your office personal out for a day of sailing and have them come back as a CREW!

The GARI can accomodate nine comfortably for a day's sail. If you are interested in an overnight or multiple day charter, four is very comfortable. Some of my favorite overnight destinations include:

Slaughter Creek
Honger River
Oxford

There are many exciting opportunies for relaxaion or adventure on a overnight charter. One can enjoy the serene setting of the starlit bay while swinging from the hammock. Or take one of the kayaks through the meandering tidal creeks. I know where all the best restraunts and bed and breakfasts are to tie up and have a great meal Contact Me for bookings and additional details.

One day sail aboard the GARI- $1200.00
Two day sail aboard the GARI- $2000.00
Tree day sail aboard the GARI- $2500.00

The Sailor for Hire rate for an instructional sail on your vessel is still just $350.00
