April 27, 2012 - (Clearwater, FL) –The Moorings is to open a new charter base in Annapolis, Maryland, on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay. A fleet of Beneteau monohulls,and Moorings sailing and powered catamarans will be available for bareboat sailing, power and skippered charters on the Bay, beginning May 2012.
Cruise the Chesapeake Bay with The Moorings Annapolis
Boating on the Chesapeake Bay is the perfect way to discover the scenic shores of Maryland. A world-renowned sailing and powerboating destination, Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the United States, spanning 200 miles from the Susquehanna River in the north to the Atlantic Ocean in the south.
Cruising conditions are fantastic, with prevailing 5-20 knot southwesterly winds, perfect for exploring the many sheltered harbors and waterways of the Maryland shore. Ashore, the area is rich in history and its maritime heritage is showcased in the west coast’s quaint, old-fashioned fishing and crabbing towns. The region is renowned for fine dining and fresh seafood, and after a stroll through the historic colonial streets of downtown Annapolis there’s nothing like tucking into a platter of steamed crabs.
Cheryl Powell, Chief Operating Officer of The Moorings, says, “We are very excited to offer such a terrific new cruising ground in North America. The Moorings Annapolis is our first base on the East coast. Whether you want a leisurely weekend getaway or a longer charter, you will experience the same world-class customer service and meticulously maintained yachts that are the hallmark of a Moorings vacation.”
The Fleet – Sail & Power Yachts
The Moorings offers an exciting fleet mix of monohulls and sailing or powered catamarans for charter. Monohulls include the Moorings 40.3 (3 cabin/2 head) and Moorings 42CC (4 cabin/2 head), which features a center cockpit with offset helm position that opens up the cockpit space. The luxurious new Moorings 3900 sailing catamaran and Moorings 393 Powercat will also join the Annapolis fleet. Both boast 3 cabin/2 heads layouts, with a spacious master suite in the starboard hull, and generator and air-conditioning to ensure onboard comfort.
The Moorings New Location
Charters on the Chesapeake Bay will begin May 15, 2012 from The Moorings base at the Annapolis Landing Marina. This award-winning marina is just a short drive away from Downtown Annapolis and the Chesapeake Bay waterway, and only 45 minutes from the Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI).
Powell says, “The Annapolis Landing Marina was our first choice because it’s so close to many area attractions and because it’s a great venue for The Moorings customers, with a wonderful host of yacht club-style amenities, including a pool, restaurant and picnic area.”
Commenting on the new partnership, Ed Hartman, Annapolis Landing Marina’s president and owner, said, “We’ve worked diligently to provide an atmosphere and amenities that make Annapolis Landing Marina a warm, welcoming place for all guests, We are pleased to be working with a high-quality operation like The Moorings, and look forward to welcoming their customers to Annapolis Landing.”
