To get to the Patricia Divine:
The first thing to know is that Port Annapolis is located along one of the many creeks that make up Annapolis's jagged shore line. To get there in a general sense, follow Forest Drive towards Bay Ridge, turning left at the Giant grocery store onto Edgewood Road. Port Annapolis is located down this road approximately one and a half miles.
It takes about an hour to get to Annapolis from Washington DC. It takes approximately half an hour to get to Annapolis from Baltimore. Allow for traffic!
Specific detailed directions are:
- Drive towards Annapolis on Route 50.
- Exit Route 50 at Exit 22, Route 665, Aris T. Allen Boulevard.
- This road becomes Forest Drive, which you continue to follow southeast for 4 miles.
- Forest Drive becomes Bay Ridge Road, which you follow for another 0.3 miles.
- Turn left on EDGEWOOD ROAD heading northeast for 1.3 miles.
- Turn left on BEMBES BEACH ROAD (Chesapeake Harbour Drive) heading north for 0.2 miles to Port Annapolis Marina. Please note the speed limits in this area. The road has many turns and bends; Port Annapolis will be on your left. Look for a large sign amidst nice landscaping and lots of boats.
- Turn left into Port Annapolis Marina and find a place to park. Please observe the parking limitation signs, such as reserved or handicapped. The Patricia Divine is located on the end of the left-most dock as you are facing the water.
About Annapolis
Annapolis is the Capital of Maryland and is located on the Western Shore of the middle Chesapeake Bay, an area rich in history, blessed with beauty, and one of the finest places on the face of the Earth to live and to sail.
On short charters of two to six hours, we can sail north, under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, past Sandy Point Light to the Magothy River, the Charles River, or up the Craighill Channel toward Baltimore. To the South lie Thomas Point Light and the South, West and Rhode Rivers on the Western shore, or Kent Island, Bloody Point Bar Light, Eastern Bay, and Poplar Island on the Eastern Shore. On longer charters, we can visit Baltimore, Rock Hall, Sassafrass Creek or Harve de Gras to the North, or sail south to St. Michaels, Oxford, Cambridge, Solomons Island, Smith Island, or Norfolk.
