NEW for Summer 2023 – Log Canoe Charter Cruises and Harbor Highlights Tours

Enjoy a private river cruise to watch the log canoe races on the Miles River on board one of the vessels in CBMM’s historic floating fleet. Log canoe races are a quintessential Chesapeake pastime, and a log canoe charter provides an up close and exciting look at the action. Amateur photographers, sailing aficionados, or wooden boat enthusiasts will all find something to enjoy on a CBMM log canoe charter!*

*2023 Log Canoe Charter Cruises replace our yearly Log Canoe Spectator Cruise offerings while Winnie Estelle undergoes routine maintenance. We anticipate Log Canoe Cruise aboard Winnie Estelle to resume in 2024.
