Chesapeake Flotillas - 2009 Flotilla Cruises
Chesapeake Flotillas offers guided flotilla cruises for the northern portion of the Chesapeake Bay. Custom cruise planning is also available. Call us for more information at 908.672.3609.
A guided flotilla cruise is simply a fleet of chartered cruising yachts sailing to a common destination each day. The flotilla is supported by trip leaders who will sail on their own boat. In some cases, it may be possible to put experienced crew aboard your yacht to assist with sailing the vessel. Participants get the benefits of a bareboat chartering experience and experienced guides to help you find and enter lesser known anchorages and towns in the cruising area.
The cost of each trip generally includes:
Chesapeake Flotillas can create flotilla cruises which can start from Annapolis, Rock Hall, or Havre de Grace, MD. Ocassionally there are boats available in places like Solomons, MD and Deltaville, VA. Two-day trips run Saturday through Sunday with boarding Friday evening. Three- and four-day trips start on Friday. Reserve a whole boat and assemble your own crew or sign up to possibly join an existing crew. Sailors signing on as Skippers for a flotilla will be required to submit a sailing resume at the time of reservation. Chesapeake Flotillas reserves the right to determine whether one is qualified to skipper.
