Chesapeake Cruise
2023 brings back the longer cruise for NSA members to the Chesapeake Bay.
April 24 - May 22 (Registration closes March 10th)
THIS IS A CHANGE TO THE ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED DEPARTURE DATE
We’re going back! The third NSA cruise to the Chesapeake will depart on April 24, with planned stops at Dowry Creek, Alligator River Marina, Coinjock and Atlantic Yacht Basic, and ending up at Bluewater Yachting Center in Hampton, VA.
After Hampton, members can choose their destinations and "free cruise" in smaller groups as desired.
Many returning snowbirds will be traveling this route, so the sooner we book marina space, the better.
Dowry Creek, Alligator River and Coinjock would prefer a group reservation, so when you register, you will be asked if you would like a slip in any or all these marinas and the cruise captains will make arrangements.
If you change your plans after March 10, please contact the marinas directly as promptly as possible.
IMPORTANT: For Atlantic Yacht Basin and Bluewater Yachting Center, you must make your own reservation via Dockwa. If the weather cooperates, that would be Thursday 4/27 at AYB, and Friday and Saturday 4/28 and 4/29 at Bluewater Yachting Center.
