[C320-list] Annapolis marinas

[Onat Dogruer]

Thanks Doug! We are only familiar with Annapolis downtown and since we are new to the area, we want to be within walking distance of activity when we are at dock; just for the remainder of the season until we get the lay of the land.  Hence leaning towards Spa Creek or Back Creek for a month or two.  After that, we will look into other areas where we can go to from DC area back and forth.  

Over the years, while still working, we have been lucky to be able to carve out time to cruise to Boston, to Nantucket, to Block Is. etc. It was a rare occasion to run into another 320.  I have a feeling it will be just the opposite in Chesapeake and I look forward to running into fellow 320s!

Hello Onat,

Where will your home be located - or are you liveaboards? Those of us
who are locals may have some suggestions that may be near to your home.

You'll LOVE sailing on the Chesapeake Bay! Annapolis is definitely the
place to be, especially for sailors. However, keep in mind that it is
one of the MOST expensive places on the Chesapeake because of that very
reason. I do not have a specific recommendation because I keep my boat
about 20 miles north of Annapolis.

In addition to downtown Annapolis locations, also consider marinas on
South River, which is just a 10 minute drive from DownTown and may be
more reasonably priced.

The only marina I've had any experience with in Annapolis is Bert
Jabin's (where my boat was when I bought her) and they are top notch.
The only down side to Jabins is that it is not in Downtown Annapolis,
however, you can get over there via the water taxi if you want. Plenty
of services all in house and you can be out on the bay in minutes.
