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.
