    Amazing experience! Wish I could do it again!

    We just got married by Captain Iris this past Sunday :) We were very nervous about how the sail would go, without having a rehearsal dinner or anything ;) but Captain Iris explained the process and it was smooth sailing there on out!! Her matter of fact mannerisms cracked us up as well in the best way, it was so genuine :) The write-up of “our story”, the readings, and entire “under sail” ceremony was perfect!!! The first mate was wonderful also! They worked so well together and the way Captain Iris steered the boat while sailing was a sight! Thank you so much for making this long awaited event better than we even expected!

    Selina went above and beyond to see that our wedding was fantastic

    We chose the Selina because St Michaels is our favorite lil town on the Eastern Shore. Captain Iris and her crew took care of us and made sure we received everything That the very reasonable price of the wedding package offered. I highly recommend the Selina as a venue for a small wedding group!

    The Perfect Elopement!

    My husband and I had a private ceremony aboard the Selina II and it could not have been more perfect! The crew was outstanding and helpful (especially since we had a bit of rain). Everything was beautiful and it was clear that they knew what to do to make the experience memorable. Reverend Bonnie did a perfect job officiating, it was as if she’d known us for years! I would highly recommend if you are considering a small ceremony or elopement!

    Amazing one of a kind wedding

    Captain Iris and her crew did everything to make our wedding amazing and one of a kind. Reverend Bonnie's service made our guests believe she knew us for a very long time. She focused on the key aspects of what makes us ... "Us." Our guests commented on the uniqueness of our venue and ceremony. We would highly recommend Sail Selina II for a one of a kind wedding experience.

    Captain Iris & The Selina II

    Our experience was unforgettable! We had a small wedding ceremony with our immediate family members aboard the Selina II in Saint Michaels, MD. Captain Iris and her crew made sure the event was special and their attention to detail from our initial contact until the day of was excellent. Very professional.

    The Selina II is a beautiful boat and I would recommend Captain Iris to anyone looking for a unique and low-stress way to "tie-the-knot" in the beautiful town of Saint Michaels Maryland.

    Absolutely perfect wedding ceremony!!

    I just was not keen on a courthouse wedding for the second time around and happen to come across Sail Selina II while searching for other venues. Selina II was just beautiful, a meticulously maintained 1926 catboat, very comfortable and the weather perfect for a ceremony at sea. What a special day this was for us. Ceremony was magical. Capt. Iris made us both feel at ease with her bubbly personality. First mate Elisabeth was hard working and delightful and also suggested we visit the lighthouse for additional pictures. This was definitely the best day ever!! If you are looking for something special to do for a wedding I highly recommend the Selina II.

    Selina II Wedding

    We always knew we wanted to have an intimate elopement and what could be more perfect than a sunset sail? The Selina II provided the perfect mix of elegance and adventure, making our elopement not only the perfect day but an experience that felt like a true celebration of our love. Captain Iris and her crew's warm hospitality made us feel like we were in the best of hands, allowing us to fully relax and immerse ourselves in the moment. If you're dreaming of a unique and intimate way to tie the knot, I highly recommend Selina II. You will have an unforgettable experience that you'll cherish forever!

    Despite terrible weather, the absolute best day ever

    We had been tossing around the idea of a boat wedding for a few months. When we saw the Selina II and how absolutely stunning she is I knew immediately she was for us. We wanted a private and intimate ceremony and that is exactly what we got. Captain Iris gave us the most beautiful ceremony, like she had known us forever. She definitely has a way with words. She and Colin were incredibly flexible and were proactive in coming up with a plan, a back up and even another back up as the weather didn't want to cooperate with us. She watched the radar and offered to go out earlier so we could get off the dock without...

    Amazing!! Such a memorable day

    My husband and I got eloped on Sail Selena and the experience was absolutely perfect. Captain Iris and her staff were so accommodating and flexible in addition to their wonderful personalities. She made our day so special and we can’t thank her and her team enough :) highly recommend!

    Refreshingly Easy and Unforgettable

    Captain Iris was an absolute delight to work with. Not only is she a seasoned Captain, she is timely, responsive, professional and extremely pleasant.

    St. Selina is a charming and classy sailboat that provided the ideal setting for our intimate wedding on the water at St. Michael’s Marina.

    If you are looking for a waterside wedding with a unique flair in a picturesque setting, look no further!

    Perfect Intimate Wedding Setting

    We were looking for a small intimate wedding setting. Sail Selina II was perfect for us. Not only is Selina II and the town of St. Michael's beautiful, the captain and crew made the day extra special. We had the most perfect day, very romantic yet casual. We did the 2 hour sail and then had our friends and family waiting for us in the Harbor to celebrate. The ceremony performed onboard was exactly what we were looking for when committing our vows to one another. I would highly recommend Sail Selina II for any couple looking for a romantic, intimate wedding ceremony. Many thanks for making our day special.

    Amazing and Beautiful Wedding Experience

    My now husband and I wanted something elegant and beautiful while low stress and very intimate for our special day. St Selina was absolutely perfect. From beginning to end, Captain Iris made it so easy. She was so accommodating from the moment we booked and continued to walk us through the entire process. The 1920 monohull was so unique, beautiful, and romantic for a wedding day. The cake, champagne, and service was top of the line. Finally the setting.... talk about gorgeous. The entire experience was perfect and I wouldn’t change a thing. Highly recommended for any special event (anniversary, proposal, wedding, etc).

    We eloped in May 2016 and we're so glad we chose the Sail Selina for our big day. Captain Iris is amazing and so is her deckhand. They both went above and beyond to make our day a special one!

    Perfect day all around! Beautiful scenery & beautiful boat. The most romantic setting for a wedding. Captain Iris made this fairy tale wedding come true. Could not belive how reasonable the price was...the adage you get what you pay for is wrong in this case!! We got so much more than we paid for..a special way to celebrate our special day. The Salina II is an excellent choice for wedding or Anniversary...we will definitely be celebrating anniversaries aboard this beautiful boat.

    The most amazing "low-key" wedding we could have asked for! Romantic, intimate ceremony on the water with our closest family members. The ceremony was dockside so that all family could watch (more than just the 6 allowed on the boat), followed by a champagne toast for all, and then my husband and I took a one-hour private sail before meeting our guests at a nearby restaurant for the dinner reception! Captain Iris and her first mate were so professional and fun. They took a few hundred photos for us with our camera, which turned out amazing! Our ceremony was customized to our liking, and was honestly so beautiful and spiritual as well. Capt Iris did an amazing job as...

    Captain Iris was the PERFECT choice for our marriage/elopement to St. Michaels. She is extremely professional, responsive, caring, and so easy to work with. She made our cermony so personalized - the perfect wedding - we couldn't have asked for more, it was as if she had known us forever! She is very well connected on the Eastern Shore and can assist in details and arrangements for suppliers to fulfil your every dream. Anyone looking for that perfect small intimate destination wedding stateside - St. Michaels, Captain Iris, and Selina is it!!!!

My husband was a tad nervous and Captain Iris and Frank were such a calming delight! The best part, we can spend every anniversary on the beautiful Selina! Thank you so, so much!!

    Captain Iris and her wonderful crew were amazing from the start to finish of my daughter's wedding. Captain Iris was enthusiastic and helped me to plan a perfect day for my daughter and her partner . From the flowers to the cake to the music - she helped us plan very step of the way! The ceremony was gorgeous and Captain Iris provided just the right words! The Selina 2 was lovely and the setting made for an extremely memorable and romantic wedding. We were so fortunate to have found Captain Iris!

    I would highly recommend the Selina II sailboat as a wedding venue. On the practical side, it is reasonably priced, while on the memorable side, it provided a great setting for a small, intimate, and romantic wedding - one where you can commune with nature by hearing the sounds of the Miles River lapping against the boat and the sound of seagulls flying overhead as you are saying your vows. In addition, Captain Iris is a delight. Indeed, she is a truly unique and caring individual who provides her officiant services with grace, and yet has the strength to manuever the sailboat, along with her first mate, with ease. She helped us plan a wedding that spoke to our...

    Captian Iris was just fabulous. She is definately one of the reasons our day went so beautifully. She has a great energy and treats you as if you were the only people in St Michaels. We even lost our marriage certificate after the ceremony. Since we live in PA, it was quite a pain to get another one from the courthouse, have Captain Iris sign it again, and leave for home. She met us in a gas station parking lot to sign the new certificate! From the very beginning she guides you through your ceremony, gives suggestions and inforation to create your own vows. The boat is absolutely stunning and her first mate was top notch. We even got...
