Annapolis Maryland Summer Cruise

[capttonyf]

I know a few of you are experienced in cruising the Annapolis area and I’m looking for some advice. This July I’d like to take our Hydra Sports 33VX to Annapolis for 4 or 5 days. We’d like to do little day cruises around the bay and take in the sites. Maybe St Michaels, Solomon’s, Inner Harbor etc. I’m looking for suggestions. We’d like to stay at a hotel and keep the boat in a slip in Annapolis and venture out each day for sightseeing, lunch and dinner cruises. We’d being trailering the boat in so first and foremost where is a good place in Annapolis to launch the boat and store the trailer for 4 to 5 days?We’d like to stay in the Marina and Hotel right downtown where they hold the boat show, or are the city docks available for overnights along the wall? If so who are the contacts to reserve a spot? What are some recommendations on things to see, places to visit, and restaurants to try? It’ll be two families with kids ranging from 11-17. They all love the water and fishing also, so beaches, crabbing, fishing etc are also of interest. Any suggestions and help is greatly appreciated so thank you in advance. Tony

Definitely go to St Michaels. The maritime museum is outstanding. Main street is nice to walk and shop. Afterwards have dinner at the Crab Claw. Solomons Island also has a nice maritime museum if you haven't had your fill yet.

Do they have transient dockage at the Crab Claw and if you eat there is it a place you can leave the boat for a couple hours to walk around town? If not what’s the closest marina in walking distance to Main Street, the museum and the restaurant? I’d been there about 20 years ago on a clients boat and don’t really remember. Thanks AgainTony

I definitely recommend going to Solomons Island, if you dock at Solomons Island Yachting Center, https://solomonsyachtingcenter.net/, you will be able to walk anywhere you want to on the island. It is well worth your visit for the museum, shops, and restaurants.

Run down to Deltaville and come back north when the wind is blowing 25 knots at the confluence of the Potomac River. The kids will love it! Ask me how I know!
