This was an amazing experience! My husband and I booked passage on a 3 day trip with Captain Greg and Chef/First Mate Romelo for our anniversary. We have been trying to explore more of our own state, and this was the best way to experience the San Juan Islands. I only wish we could have been on the boat longer! Captain Greg was very knowledgeable about the Islands and was more than happy to teach us about the boat and sailing. Romelo is an amazing chef! We requested Oysters and they delivered! If you are wanting an intimate and unique experience, you must sail with Emerald Isle Sailing! 10*

What an incredible trip! We did the 2 night San Juan cruise. There were 6 guests, Captain Greg, and his wonderful Chef Romello, who cooked some of the best meals you could ask for!
We asked to some great islands, kayaked and paddleboarded when we anchored for the night, and hiked some beautiful trails!
The experience was well worth the price! Captain Greg and Romello were such great hosts, and they went above and beyond to provide top-notch service.
Plenty of beer, cider, and wine was available and they were very accommodating with special requests for food allergies.
I had the two best nights of sleep on that boat and I would recommend them to anyone seeking a truly memorable experience!

We had the most lovely time out in the islands with Captain Greg at the helm. The accommodations are great, the boat is beautiful and Chef Romelo fed us like royalty. He is creative, humble and above all very kind.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves nature, the sea, outstanding food and friendly interactions. Well done Captain!

I Just completed an Emerald Isle Sailing Charter with Greg Sellentin aboard his 55 foot Pilot House Ketch in the San Juan Islands North of Seattle. This has been on the top of my bucket list for years. I am a seasoned sailor and owner of a 48 foot sloop so my expectations were High. Greg, his Yacht and his First/Mate/Gourmet Cook-Romello were in a word--Fantastic -and truly exceeding my expectations. The Yacht has 8 berths
(with 5 staterooms) and their were 4 Guests-2 ladies(in the V-Berth) and 2 guys(one in the double bunk berth) and the other(Me) in the Aft Quarter berth. , It was a great mix of folks and we all became friends very quickly...AND everyone got along famously.
The itinerary chosen for exploring part of the San Juan Islands( there are over 100), north of Seattle , was excellent. We had windy times allowing for brisk sailing and quiet calm times when we motor sailed--all great. The anchorages were in beautiful quiet coves surrounded by awesome Northwest scenery.
The Pilot House configuration of the Yacht permitted full viewing of the spectacular scenery whether you were inside or on deck. Greg chose these excellent beautiful spots to drop anchor and he had both kayaks and paddle boards to play with .
The guests , especially the Ladies did a great deal of island exploring, walking over 10,000 steps each day. I have a bad knee but was fully entertained and delighted with the trip even though I spent most of my time aboard. After all-I Am a Sailor.
Words can't truly explain how great Greg and Morello were. Meals were awesome(Thanks Romello) and healthy-truly a gourmet Cook and a budding good Sailor. And I cant say enough about Greg and how smoothly he ran the whole operation. If you were not an experience sailor he would teach you, if you were, you could participate (or not) as much as you wanted to. Plus he has a fascinating life history , including running sled dogs in Alaska.
I would Highly Highly recommend chartering with Greg and Romello, whether you a Land Lubber or experienced Sailor.
It was truly an outstanding experience.

We had so much fun exploring the San Juan Islands with Captain Greg and his 1st mate & Chef Extraordinaire, Romello. Captain Greg's experience and knowledge made us feel very comfortable and we learned so much! Romello's meals were amazing, and he graciously (and deliciously!) accommodated our dietary restrictions. Highly recommend!
