The venue that he and his lovely bride chose, Atlantic Marina on the Patapsco, was beautiful to say the least. Even though is was hot as fish grease outside, all of the attendees raved about the tropical island like views! Once the outdoor ceremony was completed, we welcomed the large air conditioned horderve room which has two bars and plenty of tables to relax before moving to the reception hall. After approximately 45min, we all shuffled over to this HUGE bubble structure adorned with chandeliers for dinner. After finding our assigned table, servers promptly filled our wine glasses with either Red or White. Dinner was really good (lump crab cakes), however, I'm not sure if the venue provided the caterer or if that was separate?!? Atlantic Marina on the Patapsco pulled off this spectacular event seamlessly and I highly recommend this venue for anyone's special day!!

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.
