The SV 'PINTITA' crews are all highly trained to make your Chesapeake sail charter a special and memorable occasion.

 

SV 'PINTITA' is a classic 43' Endeavour Ketch, designed and built in the era when sailboats were built for easy motion and seaworthiness. With her dependable diesel engine, and center cockpit, SV ‘PINTITA’ is the ideal cruising sailboat charter Annapolis, Baltimore and the Chesapeake have to offer.
 
Certified by the U.S. Coast Guard to carry up to 20 passengers, SV 'PINTITA' is a perfect way to experience the joy of sailing, while her experienced crew pilots her or helps you to participate in the voyage.
 
SV 'PINTITA'  holds a current USCG Certificate of Inspection, meaning that she is inspected in her construction, equipment, and maintenance to rigorous federal standards.  The Captain and Crew are also evaluated for competence and drug tested.

SV 'PINTITA' is operated by Atlantic Maritime Services, LLC. which is veteran owned.  SV 'PINTITA' is sailed by USCG Licensed and professional Captains.  The crew members are also accomplished and highly experienced sailors.
