Water Excursions

There are lots of ways to soak up the heritage of the Bay when you're out on its waters.

Travel along the same waterways as Captain John Smith, experience the Chesapeake Bay hands-on, or take a day-trip cruise out to Smith Island.

Explore the Bay with a Chesapeake Storyteller

Spend an afternoon feeling the freedom of sailing aboard an historic skipjack, discover mysteries about the Chesapeake’s waters and its seafood industry, take a charter fishing tour and land your record rockfish, marvel at iconic lighthouses aboard a ferry boat, or kayak through peaceful marshlands to observe a natural ecosystem in action.

You’re welcome to enjoy the best of Maryland by exploring the Chesapeake Bay on a guided water-based tour with a Chesapeake Bay Storyteller, specialized tour companies that have been trained by the Maryland Office of Tourism and the National Park Service to lead tours about our treasured Chesapeake. They are knowledgeable about its history, nature, ecology and more, and are ready to help you discover your Chesapeake.
