This was my favourite tour on our trip. It was the most relaxing, while also learning so much about the river and other local landmarks. Alexandra couldn't have done enough for us, with food and beverage supplies, cozy blankets if we needed them. I would highly recommend this trip for groups, families or even a girly evening on the water. 10/10
Such a relaxing few hours and the perfect way to start our stay in Annapolis. We were so well looked after on board, with a beautiful spread of food and beverages to enjoy as we sailed. Watching the sunset from the water was absolutely idyllic – a really special experience and a wonderful introduction to Annapolis.
Captain Alexandra was fantastic and it was a beautiful sunset cruise!
Our group had a marvelous time from the moment we stepped on the beautiful boat. Captain Alexandra was very welcoming, knowledgeable, and a gracious hostess. Our family and friends made incredible memories on that cruise. I recommend the experience whole heartedly. Thank you Darling Charters. We will see you again!
We had a blast on our sunset cruise all around Annapolis. Alexandra was a great captain and treated us first class the whole time. It felt like such a luxury and the cheese board was a really nice touch. Would recommend anyone around annapolis who wants to take a special boat ride use darling charters.
Thanks Blair for choosing Darling Charters (and an epic Annapolis sunset) to celebrate your anniversary!
Wonderful tour! Best thing we did all weekend! Amazing service!
It was wonderful to meet all of you/have you onboard for the morning cruise to Cantler's - I hope the crabs were perfect!
Alexandra was so friendly and the three hour trip was great. The charcuterie and bubbles were so good! I will definitely book with her.
Thank you Olga! It was lovely to have you and your family onboard Darling and let you see Annapolis for the first time, the best way - from the water.
It was amazing!! Alexandra is so nice. We had so much fun. Fully recommended 😊
Thank you Karina! I hope you enjoyed your visits to Annapolis and we were pleased to show it to you and your family from the water. A perfect escape from the heat of the day!
Highly recommend taking a charter cruise aboard Darling with Captain Alexandra. Our group had a wonderful time. She provided a beautiful charcuterie board, drinks, and offered cupcakes for our birthday celebration. Darling is a beautiful, well-maintained craft and was very comfortable. We saw many osprey and other birds and enjoyed seeing interesting waterfront properties from the boat. I especially appreciated how Captain Alexandra patiently answered my daughter’s questions about Darling and let her steer. She also provided an appropriately-sized child PFD for my daughter. We would love to do the cruise again sometime!
Thank you Taylor! We love celebrating birthdays.... and we always enjoy having children onboard Darling! Thanks for celebrating with us on the water!
My wife and I had a fantastic time celebrating our anniversary on board “The Darling”. Alexandra was incredibly accommodating and responsive with communications and Captain Bill was an exceptional host and guide. This was a great way to spend our evening and it gave us so many beautiful memories we will have for years to come!
Thank you Dave! What a wonderful way to celebrate your milestone anniversary! Congratulations to you both!
