Epiphany:
Our 2016 44-foot Leopard catamaran Epiphany offers a modern, luxurious and spacious sailing experience aboard a wide and stable catamaran intended for charter guest comfort and guest entertainment. Designed for easy single handed operation, the captain operates the vessel from the helm station allowing the mate to focus most of their time on enhancing the guests experience while aboard. There is ample cushioned seating for all guests including choices between trampoline, bow pulpit seats, beanbag chairs, captains chairs, built-in shaded cushioned cockpit seating with pillows, inside salon seating, multiple tables and counters for drinks and food, and modern kitchen amenities.
Epiphany is docked at the Harbour Inn & Marina in the heart of St. Michaels, Maryland—a charming Eastern Shore town known for its incredible seafood and inviting small-town atmosphere. Whether you’re planning a day trip to St. Michaels or seeking a sailing charter on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, our relaxing sailboat excursions are conveniently located just 90 minutes from Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C., and only an hour from Annapolis.

Good to Know:
Weather: We want to ensure your safety and comfort, hence the captain may decide to cancel due to bad weather, and this decision is made 15 minutes prior to departure. Rest assured there is no charge if the sail gets cancelled. We’re often asked whether we sail in rainy weather. We do sail even if it’s lightly misting, but not in heavy rain as we want you to have the best experience possible. It’s no fun sitting on the pouring rain!
Attire: Be sure to bring comfortable shoes, cameras, sunhats, and a light jacket in spring and fall. It’s about 10 degrees cooler on the water so plan accordingly.

- 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.

Once aboard, guests can walk forward to the bow area without any steps, or step down three steps walking towards the aft cockpit seating area. Our captains and first mates are there to assist anyone who needs a hand.
Comfortable Seating: Epiphany has numerous cushioned seating options in shaded front and rear cockpit areas with two dining tables. Guests can also lounge on comfy beanbag chairs or captains reclining chairs on the bow for a front row view of the sail. Guests also love relaxing on the trampoline and can enjoy the view of the water below.
