Planning Your Trip from Annapolis
If you are searching for Annapolis fishing charters, Chesapeake Bay Sport Fishing is just across the Bay Bridge at Queen Anne Marina in Stevensville. The drive from downtown Annapolis is normally a straightforward run east on US-50/301, then local roads on Kent Island. In light traffic, many guests plan on about 20 minutes door to dock, but bridge traffic can change quickly, so we recommend building in a cushion.
That short hop works well for Annapolis families, Naval Academy visitors, wedding parties staying downtown, and guests who want a real Chesapeake Bay fishing trip without turning the day into a long commute. Instead of threading through a busy city marina, you meet the boat on the Eastern Shore side of the bridge, load coolers and food, and head straight for open water with the crew.
Most Annapolis groups choose private fishing charters for rockfish when the season is open, but crabbing trips, bottom fishing, bowfishing, and relaxed bay cruises can also fit well depending on the date. If your group includes kids or first-time anglers, tell us when you book; the crew can help set expectations around departure time, what to bring, and which trip type best matches the group.
Parking and boarding are handled at Queen Anne Marina, 412 Congressional Dr, Stevensville, MD 21666. Please use your booking confirmation for final dock instructions and arrive 15-20 minutes early so there is time to park, unload, and meet the captain before departure. Morning and afternoon windows are available on many dates, and rods, bait, tackle, and Maryland fishing licenses are included.
For visitors staying in Annapolis, the charter can be the centerpiece of a Chesapeake weekend: breakfast downtown, a quick drive over the bridge, several hours on the water, and an easy return for dinner. For local families, it keeps logistics simple while still giving the group a full bay experience.
