Sail Away Catamarans in Edgewater, Maryland, offer a unique gateway to the Chesapeake Bay, drawing both locals and visitors with their blend of adventure, ease, and connection to the water. Each voyage begins with the gentle hum of the engines and the crisp breeze urging you forward, inviting a hands-on sailing experience that’s as educational as it is exhilarating.

Operating year-round, Sail Away Catamarans provides an accessible way to explore water routes that have shaped the local community.

Whether you’re a seasoned water explorer or stepping onto a boat for the first time, the crew’s practical approach to sailing ensures everyone can engage with confidence.

The water around Edgewater challenges you in subtle ways—a gusty afternoon wind pushes the catamaran’s twin hulls, teasing the skipper to adjust sails and course. The Bay itself is fiercely itself, offering shifting currents and changing weather that demand respect and preparation. This dynamic not only energizes the trip but connects adventurers to nature’s rhythms in real-time.

Each trip features sweeping views of waterfront homes and quiet coves populated with ospreys and herons, their flight patterns marking the boundaries of their watery domain. Docking stops offer chances to explore quiet shoreline trails, tasting local seafood or simply absorbing the salty air.

Planning your trip means considering wind forecasts and tides, packing layered clothing for sudden weather changes and bringing along a sturdy pair of deck shoes or sandals designed for wet conditions. Hydration is key—Maryland’s sun can intensify unexpectedly out on open water, especially in summer.

Sail Away Catamarans also offers private charters and themed excursions that blend fun with learning: from sailing basics and Bay ecology to sunset cruises tuned to the changing light.
