sails up to four times daily throughout our summer season from the

sail by the United States Naval Academy and then into the Chesapeake
Bay. Sailing under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge is a fabulous experience
as are the breathtaking sunsets over the historic Annapolis skyline.
Let
our captain and crew make your trip most enjoyable and memorable.
Help hoist the sails (all 4 of them) or take a turn at the wheel.
Our cash bar is stocked with wine and beer, including a nice selection
of local micro-brews.
The
74-foot schooner "Woodwind" wascustom
designed and built specifically for sailing on the Chesapeake Bay.
Woodwind is a replica of the classic, fast wooden schooners that
were built as "yachts" in the early part of this century.
Her handsome mahogany brightwork, gleaming
chrome and roomy cockpit distinguish her from cargo carrying work
vessels.
