At 8 AM the following day, I received a voicemail, an email, and a text message from the company stating that they were closed Monday and I should not have been allowed to make a reservation via their own website,. Obviously there would be a full refund, and they were very apologetic. I never received the refund and contacted them twice more during the next six days. Today I received an email from Benjamin. Tiederman stating that I would only be refunded 50%, which would not be received for another five days. This is fraud and theft, Along with basic incompetence and lack of ethics. I had to eventually submit a charge back to my credit card company, which will cost them extra money in fines instead of doing what they stated they would do. I've never left a negative review on any site so congratulations Annapolis electric boat rentals.

Driving an electric boat was a first and it was easy. I've been boating since 2012 and driving this boat was not only easy but fun...and but the way despite sailing since 2012 I'm still slightly step above a novice. The Captain/owner is a great guy, professional, and thorough. I didn't think this was a thing for me where I would want to come back and do it again but I feel like I'll be back this summer. I highly recommend it! Great experience and the perfect way to celebrate a birthday.

Pirate Adventures on the Chesapeake was a really cool adventure for my kids. They loved all aspects…read moreof it! The adventure starts with a phone call. This isn't the type of adventure you can show up to on a whim. You have to schedule a visit in advance. I scheduled a date and time over the phone. They took my credit card info, a contact number and my kids' names. The first date I scheduled was cancelled due to inclement weather. Pirate Adventures called and cancelled the adventure about three hours prior to when it was supposed to start. I elected to reschedule right then. I was instructed to arrive a half hour before our adventure so the kids could get their faces painted and pick out a sash. We parked on the street a few blocks away not realizing they have a parking lot. We checked in, the kids were given name tags with their name and an alliterative adjective (ie Zig Zag Zora and Kung Fu Kieran) and then reported to the face painting and sash picking area. After face painting kids and adults boarded the boat and the Chesapeake part of the adventure began. The captain went over a few safety measures with the adults while his assistant went through guidelines with the kids. The adventure has a whole story with different parts involved that kept the seven kids on our adventure entertained. Ages ranged from probably three to fourteen. These parts included a map search, treasure hunt, key finding expedition, pirate fight and a final pirate bounty quest. For the adults, we just hung out under a shaded portion of the boat. I got up to interact with my kids a few times and to snap some pictures. Mostly I just enjoyed the boat ride. The whole adventure lasted almost two hours (counting face painting). If you have kids that love to pretend and don't mind riding a boat, Pirate Adventures on the Chesapeake might be right up their alley.

So if you're looking for a place to rent from and want to make sure you're not going to run into an unfriendly staff or beat up jet ski's - make sure to go to DMV Jet Skis!

I do agree with him tandem kayaks are divorce boats if your marriage isn't already strong. Having said that the kayaks are definitely not for beginners and my husband and I are NOT experienced.

Super nice guy at the shop though!

It pains me to write a negative review. Jim, the owner, is a very nice gentlemen and I think at…read moreone point this was a spectacular tour. However, we booked a half-day guided tour and were very disappointed. The website (being as dated as it is should have given us a clue) boasts different trips to choose from, but Jim doesn't have the staff to pull them off anymore. We weren't able to select which tour we wanted. Instead we left and returned from the public launch near his home at Spring Cove marina. Two-thirds of his kayaks were missing or had broken rudders. The kayaks were lacking a little love and care. Even a simple hose down to get grass clippings, bugs, and cob webs out of them would have helped. Several of the life jackets needed to be replaced as I'm sure those did not meet coast guard standards - not that you really need life jackets when kayaking in the shallow waters of Swan Creek. But, he had great paddles - light weight carbon fiber with shaped blades. The advertised "beach" stop near Humphreys point was a 10 ft by 2 ft patch of muddy land. There was no great way to get out and explore or enjoy the overgrown area, nor was there a good place to swim and enjoy the warm August water. And our email reminder that bottled water and high energy trail mix set some higher expectations than the one extra bottle of water that Jim had in his kayak. The "guided" portion of the tour was almost non-existent. Other than navigational directions, there was very little information shared with the group about where we were paddling, or what we were seeing. Some brief explanation of a duck blind, and three sentences of history regarding one of the farms we saw was about it - for those close enough to hear Jim. We would have had the same trip if we were given a laminated map and let loose on the kayaks. The scenery was beautiful. We weren't fortunate enough to see any of the bald eagles in the area, but we saw plenty of Osprey, Herons, ducks, and other birds. We had great weather, so we were able to enjoy the serenity of the area. Having done guided kayak, canoe, cycling, and hiking tours before, we had higher expectations. I wish Jim the best of luck in what is clearly a delayed retirement.

How lucky we pulled up at 2:45 and were able to dock for free. Lucky because we were told there would be a $10 cover after 3 PM. For 6 of us that was going to be pricey. We were able to get a patio table by the water and had exceptional service by Catherine. The shrimp tacos and margaritas were delicious, as was the crab dip and nachos. Intrigued by the cover charge and enormous presence of roided security guards in tight t-shirts, we asked what in the world was going on. Well, it just happened to be their busiest day of the year: The Bikini Contest Finals, starting at 5:00 PM. Sadly for us (especially the guys), we would have to depart for our long boat ride back to Chestertown, meaning we were going to miss the bikini contest. They were not kidding about it being the biggest event of the year! As we were leaving the area, there were tons of motorboats lined up to enter the marina. Wow! What a fun day, on the water in excellent weather, with great service and friendly customers. A cool vibe was evident.

Soft drinks and tea were included. The accommodations up there were tall tables and a few metallic stools To the food: The assorted greens salad was fresh with your choice of salad dressings. Then rolls with real butter, followed with spaghetti with meatballs and a pasta with shrimp and parmesan, and chicken parm cutlets. Potato salad and a caprese salad of sliced mozzarella and tomatoes topped with a balsamic dressing. There was enough for seconds. Close to the end of the cruise, they brought out some desserts that looked like magazine quality. Cheesecake, chocolate layered cake, carrot cake, and lemon bars. All were very rich, and nothing was left. The staff could not have been nicer and very efficient. It's a really great crew. There is plenty of free parking. One note, this is not a wheelchair accessible due to a series of steps.
