We last visited St. Michaels in 2006 and experienced Selina II on a sunset sail. While living overseas for the next 6 years I received occasional emails from Capt Iris and vowed that when we get back to the DC region we would make time to visit St. Michaels again and Sail on the Selina II. Capt Iris didn't disappoint,... More

The boat is historic, the sail huge and beautiful against the sky. My husband, who is no sailor, helped hoist the sale, with the first mate's help, and it was memorable fun. We sipped champagne and chatted with Captain Iris, who is knowledgeable and just the right blend of professional and warmly personal. Leaving harbor, she exchanged many cheery "ahoys"... More

Thanks! We enjoy our New York guests and you guys were quintisential (sp?) New Yorkers. Who else would lay two new vocabulary words on us? Gustitorial & dendredic, you even stumped my Phi Beta Cappa mother, wow! That's a great day on the water for sure! Hope to sea you aboard again some time - Capt Iris More

Just can't say enough about our incredibly relaxing, educational, and informative sail with Capt Iris on the Selina II. The boat was built in 1926 and I think Capt Iris knows her entire history. She's the third generation owner and a lot of her blood, sweat, and tears go into her. She is beautifully maintained, sails effortlessly, and Capt Iris... More

Thank you so much for your kind words, I try so hard to keep Selina II maintained the way she deserves, and I try equally hard to answer peoples questions without 'holding court'. Its good to hear I get it right sometimes! Do come for another sail with us sometime if you find your way back to our magic little... More

We found the Selina II while searching online for location on the water to get married. We are from Louisville, KY and wanted something different and on the water. We fell in love with the boat online, and once we contacted Captain Iris, it was a no-brainer. We looked forward to a sunset cruise on the bay with Captain Iris... More

We travel to St. Michael's just about every autumn for a little R&R and our sailing venture with Selina II is by far the highlight of the trip! We LOVE Capt. Iris and Frank, both of whom embody adventure and hospitality on the beautiful boat. There's nothing like being out on the water and leaving your cares ashore. We've taken... More

I absolutely loved going out on this boat. The captain was very knowledgeable about the area, wildlife, her boat and sailing in general. The weather was perfect, view was incredible and the captain was the perfect host. I highly recommend this experience! More

Selina II is a beautiful old sailboat. Captain Iris was very entertaining, and the sunset was outstanding. I had a wonderful time, and so did everyone aboard. If you are anywhere near St. Michaels MD, this is a must. More
