AI Overview
Owner's Description
Step aboard a classic Nauticat 331 for an exclusive private sailing experience in Annapolis, presented by AnnapolisBoatExperiences. This comfortable pilothouse sailboat offers a more refined way to experience the waterfront, whether you’re looking for a relaxed harbor cruise, sightseeing around Spa Creek and the Severn River, sailing the Chesapeake Bay, photo shoots, or simply enjoying time on the water with friends and family. The pilothouse design offers the flexibility to enjoy the boat from inside or outside, with a protected, air-conditioned space for especially hot days or less-than-perfect weather. Plenty of soft seating on deck as well! This is not a crowded party boat. It is a private, relaxed experience focused on enjoying the boat, the views, and the Chesapeake Bay atmosphere. Depending on weather and conditions, we can sail, motor, anchor, swim, stop at waterfront restaurants, or simply cruise and take in the scenery. The boat features a shaded cockpit, air-conditioned pilothouse, cabin and galley, comfortable cockpit seating, classic teak character, and plenty of charm. A solid wood rail runs around the boat, offering a more substantial and secure feel than the flexible lifelines found on most sailboats. Movable cushioned seating can be arranged throughout the decks, and the spacious bow has room for all six guests to relax while underway. Guests are welcome to bring food and drinks. I provide plates, cups, utensils, a cooler with ice, and a small gas BBQ grill. Catering can also be arranged. Perfect for couples, families, small groups, birthdays, visiting guests, relaxed celebrations, sunset cruises, or anyone looking for a more refined, private Annapolis boating experience without the crowds. Captained by a USCG Master credentialed captain based in Annapolis. Capacity: up to 6 guests. Listed pricing is based on up to 4 guests. Please include your group size when requesting a booking. Pricing may vary for smaller groups, larger groups up to 6 guests, longer trips, custom itineraries, or special requests. I’ll confirm the final details and price before accepting the booking.

Captain Steve was exceptional! He was attentive, accommodating, genuine, and thoughtful, always checking in to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. He made the charter feel effortless and personalized. We had an incredible time and are already looking forward to our next charter!

Steve was an amazing host. His itinerary was punctual and we could tell he spent the time researching just how to make our experience just what we were looking for. Steve was a great captain and the boat is perfect for a few hours out on the bay. Can’t wait to ride with Steve the next time we come to Annapolis

Highly highly recommend booking with Stephen! We had friends coming to visit from out of town and we had the most wonderful charter. Stephen was an excellent captain and very kind host. The boat itself is very cool, with plenty of room to hang on the bow (and a clean bathroom!). Can’t say enough about what a great time we had!!

I’m a USCG Master credentialed captain based in Annapolis. I operate a classic Nauticat 331 pilothouse ketch and offer relaxed, private boating and sailing experiences around the Annapolis waterfront, Spa Creek, the Severn River, and nearby Chesapeake Bay waters. My focus is safety, comfort, and a low-key personal experience. Depending on weather and conditions, we can sail, cruise the harbor, anchor, enjoy the views, swim when appropriate, or arrive at a waterfront restaurant by boat. Longer outings and overnight trips to places like St. Michaels, Rock Hall, Baltimore Inner Harbor, or a quiet anchorage may also be available by request. This is not a crowded party boat. It is best for couples, families, visiting guests, small groups, birthdays, sunset cruises, or anyone who wants a private and comfortable time on the water. Guests are welcome to bring food and drinks, and I’m happy to customize the outing with you based on your interests, the weather, and the conditions.

Additional Terms & Information
Safety comes first. Weather cancellations or rescheduling are at the captain’s discretion, but the goal is always to provide a safe and enjoyable day on the water, not to keep a guest’s payment when the experience would be poor. Summer thunderstorms are common in Chesapeake Bay forecasts and often pass quickly, so a chance of storms does not automatically require cancellation. If severe weather is likely to affect a significant portion of the charter, we may delay, reschedule, shorten, or cancel the trip. Likewise, even when conditions are technically safe, extended rain may simply make for an unpleasant experience. In those situations, I will work with guests to be as flexible and accommodating as possible. Our goal is for you to enjoy your time on the water. If weather clearly prevents a safe and enjoyable experience and we mutually agree to cancel, you will receive a refund. Guests concerned about weather close to their booking date are welcome to reach out so we can discuss the forecast and available options. In practice, we have adjusted dates and start times when possible to work around weather and other circumstances. Guests should arrive on time and ready to board. Late arrivals may shorten the trip. No-shows are handled under the platform cancellation policy. Guests may bring food and drinks. Unsafe intoxication, drugs, disruptive behavior, or failure to follow captain instructions may result in refusal of boarding or early return. Swimming is only allowed with captain approval and when conditions are safe. Children must be supervised by an adult at all times and wear life jackets when required. While life jackets are available on board, children’s sizes should be discussed in advance to ensure an appropriate fit is available.
