Captain Elliot Nudell
4 Hr – Chesapeake Bay Sunset Tour on June 20, 20262 adults

Exceptional Experience Aboard the Vessel: I recently had the pleasure of booking a trip through BoatBooker, and I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience. From the initial inquiry to the final day of the voyage, everything was handled with professionalism and care. The boat was immaculately maintained, well-equipped, and provided a safe and comfortable environment for our time on the water. The owner/captain was incredibly knowledgeable, ensuring we had a smooth journey while highlighting some of the best sights along the way. I highly recommend booking with this provider for anyone looking for a reliable, seamless, and enjoyable boating experience. I look forward to my next outing!

Perfect Day on the Bay!
4 Hr – Chesapeake Bay Sunset Tour on June 20, 20263 adults

We had an amazing day out Sailing! Elliot was extremely nice and informative. He was a confident and professional captain. He had a beautiful 45 foot Sailboat that took us along the Chesapeake, past a beautiful lighthouse, and safely back to the dock! We all got the experience to sail the boat ourselves with his guidance! Anyone who says sailing isn’t fun hasnt been out with Elliot, if you get the chance you have to do it!!

Bodacious Sail
4 Hr – Chesapeake Bay Sunset Tour on June 10, 20262 adults

Wonderful vessel. Knowledgeable and personable Skipper Elliott Nudell, who was conscious of our safety, watched the weather and a heck of a lot of fun. This trip worked very well for 2 octogenarians who love sailing and had a ball. When a squall came up, Elliott handled it very well, except he was surprised that we wanted to keep sailing to enjoy the full Chesapeake experience. You'll have a good time. Joe Bullen & Kit Burns

wonderful experience, great captain
4 Hr – Chesapeake Bay Sunset Tour on July 14, 20262 adults

Captain Nudell greeted us at the pier, helped my partially disabled wife to board, and was a wonderful host. We were blessed with ideal seas, wind, and weather. His sloop, the Kadima, was in immaculate shape. The cruise was exciting but completely safe at all times.

An incredible sail on the Chesapeake Bay to Thomas Point lighthhouse with the best captain! We sat in comfy bean bag chairs and took in the beauty of the bay while sipping wine and watching the sunset. Highly recommend the sunset sail…a wonderful experience!
