St. Michaels Sailing Charters Policies

Lady Patty carries of maximum of 13 guests.

Epiphany carries a maximum of 6 guests (Epiphany is also available for private bareboat charters for up to 13 guests).

The U.S. Coast Guard considers all children (regardless of how small they are or what age they are) to be passengers, and as such, you need to count them in, too. For example, mom, dad, and their six-month-old are three paying guests, not two.

If you have a group of 14 or more, please call 410-849-9864 to explore additional options.

Cancellations due to weather are made at the captain’s discretion, typically about 15 minutes before departure. If we’re unable to sail because of unsafe conditions, there is no charge.*

We’re often asked, “Do you sail rain or shine?” If guests are willing, we’ll sail in light mist, but we do not go out in heavy rain.

*except online booking fees

Per Person Reservations made on a per person basis can be cancelled up to 24 hours before departure for a full refund. For all champagne sunset charters, cancellation must be made 72 hours in advance.

Private Charters will receive full refund if cancelled more than 7 days prior to start of charter. 50% refund if cancelled less than 7 days and more than 72 hours before start of charter. No refunds if cancelled less than 72 hours before start of charter.

Customers will receive a full refund* or credit with proper cancellation notice. Customers will also receive a full refund* or credit in case of operator cancellation due to weather or operator cancellation due to other unforeseen circumstances.  No-shows will be charged the full price.

Please email cancellations to [email protected]

We understand that unforeseen circumstances, such as traffic or family emergencies, can arise. Unfortunately, missed trips are non-refundable. We recommend planning your journey to arrive well in advance to account for potential delays. If you anticipate challenges in making it to your scheduled trip, please contact us as soon as possible. While we cannot guarantee a refund, we may be able to fill your seats from our wait list.  The sooner you let us know, the more likely that is to happen. Your understanding and cooperation are greatly appreciated.

Children of all ages are welcome aboard our sailing yachts. We love kids! We have infant, toddler, childrens, tweens, teens and youth life jackets to fit all sizes and ages. The U.S. Coast Guard considers all children (regardless of how small they are or what age they are) to be passengers, and as such, you need to purchase a ticket for each child. For example, mom, dad, and their six-month-old are three guests, not two.

We love animals! To create the best experience for our guests, pets are only permitted on private charters and cannot be accommodated on per-person or shared sails.

For private charters that include dogs, we kindly ask that they wear protective booties to help prevent scratches on our decks and preserve our varnish work. To help with extra cleaning and preparation, we charge a $25 pet fee.

Thank you so much for your understanding!

We partner with local businesses to offer custom, pre-ordered food options that can be ready when you arrive. You can view these selections during the reservation process, or call us at 410-849-9864 for more details.

On outings where it is not included, sodas, beer, wine, and champagne are available for sale. Bottled water is supplied and is complimentary.

Lady Patty is equipped with a small marine head available for emergency use, also located down a short set of steps.

Epiphany features a private and spacious modern marine head (bathroom) located down a short set of steps.

For both sailboats, we recommend guests use the lobby restroom at the Harbour Inn before boarding.
