Sailors ahoy! |
801 Lancaster Street Inner Harbor East Baltimore, MD 21202 +1 410 837 9100 http://www.baltimorecharters.com/ baltimorecharters@comcast.net |
If you are in the mood for some adventure, then book a cruise on the 75 foot Royal Blue yacht. Host your engagement party or your wedding reception here - the Baltimore Yacht Charters (the agents for the Royal Blue) have special provisions for that. If you just want to chill out with your friends or business partners, you will find a variety of plans to suit your budget. Arranging for a cruise on a Friday, Saturday or a holiday is more expensive. Dockside rates are comparably cheaper. The agents will provide for the beverages and the food. So sit back, let your hair loose, and enjoy the view of the city from the sea. Review © 2007, Wcities |

City sails |
803 Light Street Baltimore, MD 21230 +1 410 539 6700 http://www.clippercity.com info@clippercity.com |
Get set for a nautical adventure as you step into the Clipper City Ship and depend on the winds to set your destination for the day. The capacity of the ship is 140, so it makes for a great venue to host events. Private and corporate sails usually last from three to four hours. The journey begins from the Baltimore Inner Harbor through the Chesapeake Bay and further. Clipper City departs from Baltimore from April through October. Annapolis, St. Michaels and Havre de Grace are also starting points at various times during the year. Daily sails start at Harbor Place and last for around two hours. Don't worry about food and beverages, as that is taken care of on board. Check the site for weekly events and rates. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Eating Out In The Sea |

Eating on the move acquires a different meaning when you board any of the yachts of the Harbor Cruises. Grab a few bites as Prince Charming, Bay Lady and Lady Baltimore welcome you aboard. The rates are reasonable, the food is splendid and you're encouraged to drink - after all that's a sea farer's prerogative! Special events are planned all throughout the year. For instance, you can charm your better half aboard the Bay Lady or the Lady Baltimore on a Valentine Dinner Cruise in February. You can simply walk in with a friend during the non-peak days. However, it is recommended that you book in advance if you're arriving with a large group during summer. You can do a group booking or a private charter booking, preferably reserving a few months in advance for special days. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Sail away! |

Book a personalized charter for yourself, and enjoy a sailing trip on this beauty. What better place to host an event for up to twenty, than at the bay! These people also offer a B&B accommodation, the only difference is that the former 'B' is replaced by 'boat', so take the pleasure of Boat and Breakfast at the Pintita. Check in before six in the evening, and check out by 10 in the morning. Enjoy the bliss of sailing in the night, under the starry sky and wake up in the morning to the sweet aroma of freshly prepared breakfast and the sea breeze at 9a. What's more, you can also take a sail training cruise if you are nautically inclined. Review © 2007, Wcities |
