ANNAPOLIS 2-HOUR
PRIVATE BOAT TOUR
Experience the beauty of Annapolis, "The Venice of the Chesapeake"
There's a reason why sailors around the world rank Annapolis as their favorite destination . . .
On this private, guided cruise of the Severn River, Annapolis harbor, and Spa Creek, you'll enjoy the sights and sounds of one of the prettiest seaside towns on the East Coast.
You'll also learn about the maritime history of the city—its founding as "Providence" in 1649, its growth as a prominent colonial port, the "Annapolis Tea Party" of 1774, and much more. The U.S. Navy, world-class sailers, fishermen and watermen, merchants, Native American tribes, and more have all written chapters in the story of Annapolis.
Your captain—a native Annapolis sailer—will also share personal stories of the sea: capsizing in heavy storms, "skulling" on windless days, and neck-and-neck regatta races. Questions are always welcome about whatever captures your interest.
