Baltimore Harbor

Have you ever viewed the city skyline of Baltimore by land AND by sea (well, by bay really). It’s incredible. Much of Baltimore’s rich history is tied to the Chesapeake Bay and the Baltimore Harbor -- most notably during the bombardment of Fort McHenry and through the industrial revolution. The Baltimore harbor has been the heart of the city since the port was founded in 1706 and is still a thriving landmark today.

During this excursion, we will depart from Canton marina and enjoy a five-hour day sail past Fort McHenry and below Key Bridge before returning back into Baltimore harbor.

Middle River

Many people are unaware of the hidden gems within middle river. Two of which include Hart and Miller Island and Pooles Island. Hart Miller Island offers a 3,000-foot sandy beach on a completely uninhabited park site, which is only accessible by boat. Here, you can enjoy scenic views teeming with wildlife. Pooles Island welcomes you with it’s signature white lighthouse, which is the oldest lighthouse still standing in Maryland, circa 1825. While landing on the 200-acre island is prohibited, getting a glimpse of its beauty is worthwhile.

During this 5-hour excursion, we will depart from Cutter Marina on Middle River (Old Eastern Avenue by land). We will sail past Hart and Miller Island and make for Pooles Island as we approach the Eastern Shore. Rounding Pooles Island, we will drop anchor for a brief rest or swim before returning to the dock.

Annapolis

The capital of our beautiful state and world-renowned as America's sailing capital, Annapolis is a bustling port town full of quaint shops, eateries, and pubs. Determining our destination from Annapolis depends heavily on the winds. The two options include the Chesapeake Bay Bridge or the Thomas Point Lighthouse (both of which are stunning to see). Thomas Point Lighthouse is the only screw-pile lighthouse in the bay which still stands at its original site today, circa 1875. The Chesapeake Bay bridge is well-known for traffic jams but is so much more pleasant when viewed from the water! Standing almost 200 feet tall and spanning over 4 miles; this bridge is truly a work of art.

During this excursion, we will depart from the Annapolis port and sail to either the Chesapeake Bay bridge or to the Thomas Point Light House (depending on wind). During our 5-hour sail, we will delight in vast open water views and can drop anchor to rest once we reach our destination before returning to port.
