From a romantic sunset cruise to a scenic sightseeing tour, the best way to get to know Chesapeake City, if you're exploring it for the first time, is from the water of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal. A massive undertaking that started in 1802, the C&D Canal now not only providers a vital trade link around the Delmarva peninsula, it provides locals and visitors with some of our favorite recreational activities all year long. On a water tour, you'll see some of the best sights in the area from your unique vantage point.
