Historic Sailing Charters in Greenport & Shelter Island, NY
Private and public sails aboard Selina II — a 1926 Crosby catboat built in Greenport and sailed by the same family for four generations. Limited to six guests by design.
Sail Selina NY offers private sailing charters aboard Selina II, one of the largest surviving vintage Crosby catboats in the world. Built at Sweets Shipyard in Greenport, New York in 1926, Selina II has carried more than 60,000 guests across Peconic Bay and Long Island Sound over more than 11,000 sails.
Captain Luna Crowley, great-granddaughter of legendary East End captain Frank Mundus, continues a multigenerational maritime legacy aboard this living piece of history. Every voyage is limited to six guests — not as a restriction, but as a commitment to the kind of unhurried, intimate experience these waters deserve.
