Welcome to Sail Escape
I am Wayne Esser and I own ESCAPE. I spent most of my life South of Houston growing up on and around Galveston Bay where I spent most of my youth on a boat, both sailing and power. I moved to the DC/MD/VA area in 2008 and joined a boat club that gave me access to the Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River. It was a great opportunity to
get to know the area and the waters. But, there came a point when using other peoples boats just wasn’t doing it for me. I purchased ESCAPE in 2022 and brought it up from North Carolina. I have been chartering out of the Annapolis area for 2 seasons and plan to start again for the 2025 season. We are passionate about creating unforgettable experiences on the water. Whether you are seeking a relaxing cruise or an adventurous sailing trip, we will create the perfect charter for you. With ESCAPES many anmenities and experienced crew, we can ensure an exceptional journey that will leave you with lasting memories.
There is only one thing we put ahead of customer satisfaction, and that is safety. Our captains are highly skilled and knowledgeable, they are all U.S. Coast Guard licensed and totally focused on getting everyone back to the dock safely. You should expect a complete safety briefing once onboard and a captain that can answer any concerns you may have. Our goal is to ensure a safe, smooth and enjoyable voyage.

We loved our time on Wayne’s boat for my husbands 50th. It was very well maintained, with an expert crew! I would charter with him again in a heartbeat!–Catherine
Captain and his mate were awesome! The boat was in great shape and was absolutely perfect for our large group. We will absolutely be looking to book this same boat whenever we visit Annapolis again.–Josh
