Exploring Maryland on board…

Maryland is a boater’s paradise whether you are interested in sailing along the United States’ coast or prefer to explore the Chesapeake Bay and its many waterways. Here are some of our top recommendations for your time out on the water in Maryland:

Exploring the Chesapeake Bay and all of its wonders is a must! You can set sail for Annapolis, known as the ‘Sailing Capital of the World’ and home to the US Naval Academy. This historic seaside town is just 50 minutes from Washington DC. The bay is dotted with quiet beaches, lovely waterfront homes, full-service marinas, state parks, and historical towns.

Towns like Rock Hall, Chestertown, St. Micheals, and Chesapeake City are all worth a visit. Each offers plenty of entertainment, dock’n’dine options, and shopping.

For those who prefer cruising the Atlantic Ocean, you can hire a boat in Ocean City, Maryland for the day. Set out with your family and friends for a one-of-a-kind experience! Practice water sports like wakeboarding and water skiing, go fishing, or simply relax on the deck of your dream boat!

When is the best time to boat in Maryland?

Winters are cold and snowy in the northeast, so the typically boating season in Maryland is from late April to late September. The summer months offer warm and sunny weather as well as warm water temperatures to enjoy in the Chesapeake Bay. July and August is the area’s high season, where you’ll see many boaters out on the water.

If you are interested in booking a boat in Maryland, we highly recommend that you make a reservation in advance with Click&Boat to ensure that you can set sail on board the perfect boat.

Are boat hires available with a captain in Maryland?

Yes! With Click&Boat, most boat charters in Maryland available with an experienced captain and crew. All you have to do is sit back and relax while the skipper and crew take care of everything from mooring, navigating, and more! This is also a great option for those who are planning parties or celebrations on board!

Our captains are local experts who know the area best! Allow them to show you their favorite places: from lovely waterfront towns to sandy beaches and coves. They might even have recommendations on the area’s best restaurants and bars if you are interested in docking’n’dining.

For those interested in bareboat charters and who have the proper sailing qualifications, don’t hesitate to contact our owners on Click&Boat for more information and availabilities.

What type of boat should I rent?

For longer stays on board, we recommend hiring a sailboat or catamaran. Sailboats are perfect for accommodating couples or small families. While catamarans are known for their stability, spaciousness, and comfort making it easy to sleep about 6 to 8 guests (depending on the model and length of the vessel) on board.

Those interested in hourly or daily charters might prefer a motorboat or pontoon boat. They are relatively easy to navigate and manage, and you can cruise at faster speeds compared to sailing boats. An added plus with motorboats is that you can also practice water sports like wakeboarding and water-skiing.

Pontoon boats are great for hosting parties and get-togethers, due to their open deck plan and deck plan. Some even come with a built-in bar and cup holders as well as a fridge and Bluetooth audio systems.
