About the Stanley Norman Skipjack

The historic Stanley Norman Skipjack is a beautifully preserved sailing vessel built in 1902. As one of the last remaining skipjacks, she carries with her the rich heritage and storied past of Chesapeake Bay’s watermen. Her illustrious deck, hull, and single mast tell tales of an era when these vessels filled the bay, harvesting oysters and supporting coastal communities.

Inn at Perry Cabin Skipjack Legacy Voyages

On a Skipjack Legacy Voyage, you’ll glide gently along the scenic Miles River while the crew brings the Chesapeake’s past vividly to life, recounting stories of resilient oystermen who relied on these waters. As you sail across the bay with the wind in your sails and salt in the air, you can almost feel the presence of those who sailed these waters in days gone by.
