Annapolis Town Dock

🚤 In Honor of National Safe Boating Week ⚓
We're proud to support safe, smart boating—this week and every week. Did you know the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) conducts random safety inspections on the water? Be ready by checking these essentials before you leave the dock:

🔸 Life Jackets – One U.S. Coast Guard-approved PFD per person on board. Children under 13 must wear one at all times.
🔸 Fire Extinguisher – Required for boats with enclosed compartments. Ensure it’s charged and accessible.
🔸 Distress Signals – Flares or visual distress signals are a must in coastal waters and large lakes.
🔸 Sound-Producing Device – A horn or whistle is required to alert other vessels in low-visibility or emergency situations.
🔸 Navigation Lights – Must be fully functional from sunset to sunrise.
🔸 Current Registration – Your boat must display valid registration and have documentation onboard.
🔸 Throwable Flotation Device – Boats 16 feet or longer must carry a Type IV throwable (like a cushion or ring buoy).

🌊 Let’s make this boating season the safest one yet. A little preparation goes a long way!

Annapolis Maritime History: How Naptown Became World’s Sailing Capital How did Annapolis become the sailing capital of the world? It's a story of a colonial port, a booming seafood industry and perfect timing.

We are deeply saddened by the news regarding the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. Our thoughts are with all those affected by this tragic event; we extend our heartfelt sympathies to the families and loved ones of those involved and the first responders working tirelessly on the scene. This is a sad day for both our Baltimore and Maritime communities.
Let us know how we can assist during this time.
