Free ample parking available just footsteps away from boarding the kayak, friendly greetings from your hosts providing helpful info about the waterway and its tributaries to explore. They provide all that you need including a dry bag to take on board and a clean porta potty on the property! HIGHLY recommend kayaking with Vay Venture Outfitters, located in North East, MD! Looking forward to visiting BVO again next year!!!

I've had my non-operational '62 Chris Craft stored at McDaniels for years. Tom and his team there…read moreare the exact OPPOSITE of what I'd expect a large outfit like McDaniels to be. To walk around this place and see the size of it, it's offerings and the number of vessels there, you'd think they wouldn't give me the time of day or even know that I or my little boat existed. Couldn't be further from the truth. Anytime I call and say my first name and that I have the little Chris, they know who I am and Tom (and the other Tom) are always more than willing to do whatever I need (living in California now). When Sandy hit, I was petrified that my boat was lost. She was safely tucked away and again, when I called they knew just what to say. I've recently had my boat hauled to the west coast and upon leaving, Tom made a lap around the marina to make sure that nothing was left behind from her various storage locations and the machine shop. I can't recommend these guys enough, nor can I imagine what kind of service someone would receive if they had a sizable and operational vessel in a slip! If you're looking, McDaniels is the ONLY place to consider.

It's to the (R) of Schaefer's restaurant. When we finally found someone they were helpful. We went on the Sunday 4pm (2 hr cruise). We ended up getting one of the booths at the back of the boat and sat by the bar area. You can bring any food and/or drinks you want onto the boat which is great. Otherwise they have a fully stocked bar in the back and prices aren't too bad. They inform you of all of the birds and anything if significance you pass. Tom & Steve are the owners. They are very nice. The cost was $19 per adult and $10 per kiddo. I did appreciate that they didn't play any music so we could converse.

This location below the Holtwood dam is spectacular. We went around the upper and lower bear islands, which were breathtaking. It was an opportunity to get up close and personal with nature. Being on the river, the green jungle, and blue sky and nature allowed me to reconnect with myself. All the while, getting exercise. Life's been crazy lately and I was able to just relax again. It was a hot day, so we found a sandy cove and went for a swim. The water was refreshing, and I enjoyed great conversation with some new friends. Further, Mark gave instruction to the new paddlers in the group. New paddlers kept right up with the more experienced paddlers, so don't be afraid to go if you don't have kayaking experience. He also offers historic knowledge of the area (canals, cabins on the island, water flow, etc). He's a wealth of knowledge. It was an awesome experience. Looking forward to the next trip. KayakingmadeEZ.com One last point, I decided to go on the tour at the last minute and contacted Mark the night before. He was gracious enough to accommodate me. When I arrived the next morning, my kayak was waiting for me on the beach.

You can bring food and drinks on the boat though they do have a bar full of options to choose from if you want a beer or cocktails. No food options to purchase on the boat. Everyone was nice and my son even was able to take the wheel for a while. A positive was that we were able to jump on the boat with no reservation. There are 4 large booth tables and plenty of other folding chairs and tables to relax by. They have a bathroom on board the ship with its very own window. I'm not sure if it's normal but there was no music playing which I liked since I was able to have conversations with my family. Tom & Steve are the owners and very nice and welcoming.
