Choose Patriot Cruises for your next event! We specialize in corporate dinners and celebratory cocktail cruises. Wow your guests on a private charter aboard PATRIOT, a two-story vessel complete with two bars, restrooms, climate-controlled main deck, and an ever-changing backdrop of the Miles River.
Private charters are available from 90 minutes to three hours. The charter fee includes the vessel and appropriate crew for the contracted times and service. In addition, all fees and gratuities are included. Advance reservation is recommended at least 60 days before the event.
For more information about booking a private charter and to get customized pricing, contact Sales & Operations Manager Joyce Gauthier at jgauthier@cbmm.org or 410-745-4981.
Host your corporate event, cocktail party, wedding, rehearsal dinner, birthday party, reunion, or celebration aboard PATRIOT!
PATRIOT has two levels. The first level is enclosed, and temperature controlled. The upper deck is open-air with a partial canopy for shade and panoramic views of the Miles River. The boat can comfortably accommodate up to 60 guests for a seated meal or 100 guests for a cocktail-style reception. PATRIOT is US Coast Guard certified to hold 149 passengers, but unless you plan of having your guests seated for the duration of you charter, we recommend keeping your guest count under 100.

PATRIOT provides a variety of beverage packages to meet your individual needs. Bar service begins upon guests boarding 15 minutes before the charter start time and ends 15 minutes before the end of your charter. Under our Maryland state liquor license, no outside beverages are permitted aboard our vessel.
