A Cruising Guide . . . completely reinvented
Make cruising the Chesapeake Western Shore easy -- know exactly where to find everything you need. NOTE: Want a guide for the whole Chesapeake? Check out our All-Chesapeake Guide.
Our cruising guides are different from others you've seen. Instead of telling you everything that's in a particular town (like most cruising guides do), we arrange the information by what you're looking for: fuel, water, laundry, an anchorage, bridge info, a grocery, and more.
This gives you quick answers to all your "where" questions, such as where the nearest fuel stop is, where the nearest anchorage with N protection is (and a place to walk the dog!), where there's a boat yard that can haul a 23' beam, and so much more.
Just go to the right section, find the column for what you want, and look in the area near you for an X. Bingo -- that's where to go!
Separate tables for each type of information, further arranged S-to-N and including all rivers let you quickly find just what you need:
-
anchorages including wind/wave protection directions, depth, tide range, current, swell, and availability of places to walk dogs
-
free docks
-
fuel, propane, water, trash, and pump outs
-
bridge names, heights, opening schedules, and how to contact
-
navigation alerts warning of shoaling, fast currents, and other hazards
-
haulout facilities including maximum beam
