Located
on Spa Creek in the heart of Annapolis, our docks abut
the legendary Chart House Restaurant. We are a short water
taxi ride across the creek into the center of the Annapolis
waterfront. If you would prefer a leisurely stroll across
the Eastport Bridge, dining and shopping is easily within
walking distance from our marina. New starting in 2009, we have
new shower and bathroom facilities for your
on-shore use. Our Annapolis site is the home site of our
Let’s Go Cruising fleet offering the majority of
our yachts featuring our premiere Jeanneau powerboat,
our luxurious catamarans, and Jeanneau sloops.

Once you have left Annapolis, the Chesapeake Bay offers
a wonderful place to vacation or weekend getaway. With
the premiere fleet on the Chesapeake Bay, we can assure
you an absolutely exciting cruise here on the bay. Experience
an alternative to typical vacations. We offer captains
if client’s need.
The Chesapeake is a gentle, body of water surrounded by
lovely creeks and coves populated by friendly, water oriented
residents. Chesapeake literally means “drowned river”
which native Indians named for the valley glaciers carved
out. We welcome you to our world!
The
Chesapeake Bay waters are generally brackish varying from
very salty near the mouth of the Bay to almost fresh at
the northern end. The best swimming is often north of
the Bay Bridge during July and August as sea nettles sometimes
take up residence in the lower bay during those months.
The sailing is easy. There is virtually no fog and navigation
is line of sight. The tide range is only about 1.5 ft.
and the tidal current in the middle of the bay averages
less than 1/2 knot. Summer winds are somewhat light averaging
about 8-12 knots. Spring and fall sailing are a little
brisker and with the warm waters during the fall months,
sailing is very comfortable through October.
The Chesapeake Bay offers great access to boats drawing under 7' of water but offers
plenty of sailing for our shoal keel sailboats, catamarans
and powerboats. The bottom, although you won’t find
out, is soft and forgiving. There is over 5,000 miles
of navigable shoreline! (It's been said that a person
20 years old could cruise and anchor in a different place
each night for the rest of their life!) The ingredients
of the Chesapeake make cruising the bay delightful.
Did you know that the Chesapeake has one of the longest coastlines in America?
Most Coastline?
But, Chesapeake is the most cruiser friendly, interesting with lots of places to visit. Whether you want a quiet cove or a party, the Chesapeake can accomodate you!
