Owner Operated

Andy and Lisa Batchelor are owners and directors of Sail Solomons. Long-time sailors and boat owners, Andy and Lisa relocated from the Washington metropolitan area to Solomons, MD in 2006, to open the new Solomons base of Let’sGoCruising.com - the Chesapeake Bay’s premier luxury sailing charter operator, headquartered in Annapolis. Fully immersed in the middle-bay sailing community, Andy and Lisa recognized the need for quality sailing and cruising instruction. Both US Coast Guard licensed Captains and American Sailing Association (ASA) certified instructors, they launched Sail Solomons in Spring 2007. The school has expanded to include Caribbean courses and a popular fractional sailing club.
