Skipjack Minnie V.
Sail into history!
The Minnie V. was built in 1906 in Wenonah, which is on Deal Island , located on Maryland 's Eastern Shore . The builder was John B. Vetra and he named the boat after his wife, Minnie. The "V" stands for her last name, Vetra. The Minnie V. has had many different owners and has spent 87 years in the oyster dredging business. In 1981 the boat was rebuilt by Lebourne Smith. The Minnie V. now joins our fleet to provide sightseeing sails and is also available for private charters.
Join us for a 90-minute sailing experience departing from National Harbor , next to the Awakening Plaza and McCormick & Schmicks Restaurant
