Crew
Pictured are owners GM and Laura Bell. GM has been sailing since childhood and previously taught sailing at the Miles River Yacht Club in St. Michaels, Maryland. His sailing adventures have taken him across the Mediterranean Sea, Mexico, Hawaii, California, the U.S. East Coast from Rhode Island to Florida, the Delaware River, and much of the Bahamas and Chesapeake Bay. He has held a U.S. Coast Guard captain’s license since 2014. Laura also grew up sailing with her family on various monohull sailboats and now has several years of experience sailing Epiphany along the East Coast and throughout the Bahamas. She is also the owner and photographer behind Laura’s Focus Photography. GM spent several summers serving as first mate to Captain Iris aboard the historic Selina II. In 2025, we are honored to “take the helm” of the company, as we continue to grow. After several seasons operating on Broad Creek, we will be moving across the harbor for the 2026 season and beyond, sailing from the same Harbour Inn & Marina dock. We’re thrilled to offer two unique sailing experiences: a historic journey aboard our 1935 ketch, or a modern adventure on our 44-foot luxury catamaran, Epiphany. Both yachts can accommodate up to 13 guests. We are very excited about our addition of historic vessel to our fleet. This 1935 Maryland built boat brings nearly a century of maritime history back to the Chesapeake Bay.
