Private Charters

Year Round By Request

We offer one-way and round-trip charter services anywhere on the Chesapeake Bay. Whether it is a day cruise across the entire Chesapeake Bay or a short jaunt across the Rappahannock River, we can get you where you want to be.

Gather your friends and take a fall sunset cruise to nowhere in particular. Or tackle your bucket list and cross the entire Chesapeake Bay to try local delights and stay in a bed and breakfast for a weekend getaway.

From Cape Charles to Solomon's Island, or from the western shores of Deltaville, Reedville, and the Middle Peninsula to any port on the Delmarva peninsula, let us arrange a custom boat trip for you. Imagine it, and we can do it.
