Experience Chesapeake City from the Water
Water is one of Chesapeake City's best features. From the porch that runs along the side of the Inn at the Canal, our guests can enjoy magnificent views of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. This working waterway, which winds through the middle of the town, is one of the busiest canals in the world, with more than 25,000 vessels a year making the passage. And while the water views from our historic Victorian inn are pretty spectacular, we encourage you to experience Chesapeake City from the water.
Trading dry land for Chesapeake City's sparkling water is a great way to unwind and discover our charming community from a whole new perspective. There are two boat touring companies that offer sightseeing and sunset excursions, as well as happy hour and party cruises. As you sail down the canal to the Elk River, you can watch huge ships from all over the world pass before your eyes.
Chesapeake City Water Tours makes several voyages each day on the C&D Canal, Elk River and Upper Chesapeake Bay. Their 50-foot Catamaran can seat up to 49 passengers for sightseeing and sunset cruises. Looking for a more lively adventure? Then opt for a Happy Hour or Rum and Reggae cruise. New to Chesapeake City Water Tours are their Paradise Tiki Tours. Climb aboard a festive 40-passenger tiki boat, sip an island-inspired cocktail and set sail for a cruise to paradise!
M/V Bay Breeze is the other water touring company here in Chesapeake City that puts the focus on relaxation. Their 26-passenger vessel offers stunning views of the water and shoreline from every seat. From their signature sightseeing cruise to a romantic sunset sail, M/V Bay Breeze provides an amazing way to experience the beauty of Maryland's waterways. Also check out their happy hour booze cruises and party tours with beer and wine tastings and live music.
Each of these water touring companies offers a variety of cruises well into October, so there are plenty of opportunities to book your Chesapeake City water adventure during your next stay with us.
