What to Expect - Relaxation, Romance & VIP Service on the Water

  • Our lovingly preserved 1926 catboat offers a luxurious, comfortable sail. Guests consistently praise her pristine condition and classic beauty.

  • Our welcoming crew enhances every trip with local knowledge, sailing expertise, and personal hospitality.

  • What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead. What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn.

  • Hear fascinating tales of Greenport’s shipyards, Shelter Island’s history, and the North Fork’s deep sailing legacy.

  • Sailing with us helps preserve a living maritime treasure—a one-of-a-kind link to Long Island’s yachting past.

Guests often tell us this feels like one of the best boat tours on Long Island, thanks to the small-group setting, historic yacht, and personalized storytelling on every sail. As one of the top Greenport yacht charters, SailSelinaNY offers a unique experience aboard a fully restored 1926 wooden yacht – perfect for families, couples, or friends looking for a classic sailing adventure.

Sail Selina NY Policies

  • SailSelinaNY is licensed by the Coast Guard to carry a maximum of six guests. It doesn’t matter how big or small you are or how old or young you are, the maximum is 6 passengers by law. (so six adults and an infant are 7 passengers)

  • Children of all ages are welcome aboard the Selina II. We love kids! We have infant, toddler, childrens, tweens, teens and youth life jackets to fit all sizes and ages. 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 purchase a ticket for each child. For example, mom, dad, and their six-month-old are three guests, not two.

  • Yes, we welcome canine guests!

    • If it is 80' or warmer we ask that you leave fido behind, its so uncomfortable for them in the heat.

    • Once you are aboard please have pooch lie down and stay.  Pacing dogs can be distracting for the other guests.

    • Please note that a $25 cleaning fee applies for pets aboard SailSelinaNY to ensure a comfortable experience for all guests. Thank you for your understanding! Charged the day of your sail.

    • As you may know, Selina II has lots of varnished surfaces, easily scratched by tiny claws, so we simply ask that pets be in a carrier -- like a bag or basket -- or wearing booties. (you can buy these online or at any good pet store) That way, when something exciting happens (a bird flies over, a bee buzzes about, a big wave rocks the boat) and your pup scrambles, the scrambling doesn’t end up damaging the boat.

    SailSelinaNY hates this, but since guests have broken the rules and their dogs have damaged the boat, we have a $100 fee if Fido gets loose. Since that policy got put in place, all our guests are very attentive to their pets' paws.

    We recommend that you have Fido in their booties 5 minutes before departure to be ready to board at that time. If it is the first time they have used booties you may want to practice ahead to know how long it will take you to get their booties securely on their paws.

    We hope we get to have you and your people-friendly pet aboard!

  • Yes, you are welcome to bring your own food aboard. We simply ask that it be clean food that will leave no traces after you are gone. So, for example, crusty French bread makes a terrible mess, fried chicken is a greasy no-no, brownies also are verboten -- anything that crumbles or flakes or drips should be avoided. We do not have a vacuum cleaner aboard. Thanks!

  • On outings where it is not included, sodas, beer, wine, and Champagne are available for sale. Bottled water is supplied and is complimentary. Our BYOB cork fee is $25.

    Our Champagne is a Cava from Spain, delightful!

    Our wines are Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Sav Blanc, and  a juicy red blend from California

    Our cold beers are Heavy Seas Loose Cannon IPA, Bell's Amber, and Coors Lite

  • Yes we have a very clean marine head onboard; however, it is limited and is down 4 steps, so we recommend for your comfort that guests take advantage of the shore-side facilities inside the Harbour Inn before embarking.
