“Woodwind” sails up to four times daily throughout the Sailboat Show October 4th – 8th from Dock “E2″. Each trip is unique. All cruises depart from the Sailboat Show and pass by the United States Naval Academy and then into the Chesapeake Bay. Sailing across the Chesapeake Bay 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, soda and water. We also sell bagged snacks aboard.
The 74-foot schooner “Woodwind” was custom 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.
Or… just take a tour of the schooner when we are dockside.
