What people are saying.

  • “Captain Sarah is terrific. She is incredibly well organized and meticulous. Her expertise in the water and attention to detail puts you at ease the whole time. You get tons of practice under her direct guidance. Can't say enough good things about her. I enjoyed the location and group atmosphere because you get time to observe and mentally rehearse before your turn. Plus it was a blast learning with others. 5 stars isn't enough. "

  • I recently completed three modules at Chesapeake Boating Academy in Annapolis with Captain Ken, including Intro to Boating, Precision Docking & Boat Handling, Open Water Boat Handling. I can't recommend this academy enough! Captain Ken is an exceptional instructor—patient, encouraging, and a natural teacher. What I appreciated most was how he covered not only essential boat handling skills but also crucial topics like the rules of the road, safety, and maintenance. I now feel much more empowered and confident on the water. If you’re looking to improve your boating skills and knowledge, Chesapeake Boating Academy is the place to go. Thanks again to Captain Ken for making this experience both educational and enjoyable!

  • “I had my first on the water boating class (precious docking) with Chesapeake Boating Academy. What an excellent experience!!! Sarah is an outstanding instructor. She is extremely calm and patient with her students. I felt confident and relaxed, able to follow her instructions and get comfortable with docking. It was a very productive 3 hours on the water. I highly recommend Chesapeake Boating Academy to new boaters. I look forward to advancing my boating skills with attending more trainings with them.”
