What To Expect

Chesapeake Bay

Your two and a half hour cruise, aboard the 42' sailing yacht Eternal Hope, sails out into the Chesapeake Bay, where you will see the historic Cliffs of Calvert and if you are lucky you will see dolphins, ospreys and other amazing habitats or cruise ships in the shipping channel. If there is a strong breeze out of the west, we may sail close to the other side of the bay! It has been said "...that the only problem with the bay is that it is so darn beautiful!"

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Our trip was canceled twenty minutes before we were supposed to set sail, even after we had already received confirmation earlier that day that everything looked good. We booked far in advance and arranged our day around it, and we drove a long distance to get there. This was a frustrating and disappointing experience and I wish that there had been better communication.

I had a lot of fun. It was rainy and windy on my tour, but it was still a lot of fun. This was my first time on a sail boat and the skipper and first mate were awesome.

Kevin and Lloyd were great tour guides. Fun stories, lively conversation. The bay was calm, it was sunny. We had a great time.
