Cruise the Chesapeake Bay with The Moorings Annapolis
Charming, historic and idyllic – boating in the Chesapeake Bay is the perfect way to discover the scenic shores of Maryland. A world-renowned boating destination, the Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the United States, spanning approximately 200 miles long from the Susquehanna River in the North to the Atlantic Ocean in the South.
This area offers fantastic cruising conditions with consistent south-westerly winds averaging from 5-20 knots, as well as a balanced mix of sights ashore including the Bay’s more modernized, bustling east coast cities like Baltimore and the west coast’s quaint, old-fashioned fishing and crabbing towns with wonderful maritime heritage. Annapolis, as well as the Bay area, is widely recognized as “the place” for fresh seafood, and feasting on their world famous steamed crabs is a must-do after a stroll through the historic colonial streets of Downtown Annapolis.
Cheryl Powell, Chief Operating Officer of The Moorings, said “We a very excited to offer a new cruising grounds in North America, The Moorings Annapolis our first location on the Eastern seaboard and the Chesapeake Bay is literally the “backyard” for so many of our customers. Here, guests can charter for as little as two days to enjoy a leisurely weekend getaway while still experiencing the same world-class customer service and meticulously maintained yachts that are the hallmark of a Moorings holiday.”

Powell added, “The Annapolis Landing Marina was our first choice because of its excellent proximity to many itinerary highlights and because the property presented the most inviting venue for The Moorings customers with a wonderful host of yacht club-style amenities, including a pool, restaurant and picnic area."
