BLUF: A wonderful museum consisting of 18 acres, many buildings and even a river cruise, telling…read morethe history about the Chesapeake Bay. Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is one of those museums that I enjoy visiting every few years. Since they recently opened a new building I was excited to check it out. With limited time to explore, I stuck to the new building which has their admissions/ticket counter, various types of Chesapeake Bay boats, a well curated display case of ship models on display and a lovely gift shop. Oh, and let's not forget Sailor the Iron Dog! Two of my all time favorite exhibits at the museum are the display of oyster cans and the crab picking machine. I laugh every time I see the crab picking machine and I always marvel at all of the big oyster cans. Being able to go inside the Hooper Strait lighthouse is also fun. The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum has lovely views of the river from shore but those who want a better view can take a cruise or sail on one of various historic vessels. Another things that makes CBMM great is its plentiful parking and close proximity to downtown Saint Michaels.

At $20 per person, Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum was a bit of a letdown…read more They currently have an exhibit entitled "Sailing to Freedom" and that was the main reason for our stop here, especially considering we have recently visited a different nautical museum which was similarly priced and fantastic. Unfortunately the exhibit was small and, if I'm being honest, boring. The grounds here are not very large and are composed mostly of old wooden boats, bells, and a lighthouse, which was by far the highlight of our visit. They claim that the grounds are dog friendly however there isn't much to see outside so I would not recommend bringing a dog. I wouldn't personally recommend bringing children either as it doesn't seem like they would have a good time here. There were five or six children present during our visit and they were literally just running in circles on the grass. I understand that our visit was during the off-season but it was a wasn't a very good use of time or money in my opinion.

Paul knows his stuff and is so willing to share that knowledge. Tip: Each person should pack their own ziplock bags & drinks in a small backpack and carry it with them. We were not all together most of the time so having 1 backpack for family wasn't convenient. Also, pretty obvious, but a backpack is much more sensible than a bag with handles when you are searching for shark teeth and fossils and need to use your hands. It was a great day & it really sparked some curiosity about not only the shark teeth but also the geology and oceanography!

Captain Mike, and now Captain Gary, have always been fantastic at keeping all passengers safe and happy. They are very knowledgeable about the bay, the lighthouses and history.

I highly recommend this Captain and his boat. I was blessed to be on the surprise wedding tour and posted a few pics. I would have to say it was one of the best tours ever.

Apparently someone gave the exhibits a desperately needed update. Perhaps this someone should be…read morethe new museum director/curator because they have some great ideas. Unfortunately with the same curator/ director there, nothing else will change. Tours given by this person are filled with factoids and are as dull as dirt. During a tour someone asked about ghost tours- did the museum give them- this woman director was really rude and said absolutely not! Shouldn't the history of St. Michael's be fun and interesting, and not just full of factoids? The museum needs a total change in leadership and they need to get people with new ideas.....they should also be open more than just Friday-Sunday to get tourists in to see the exhibits. The museum has potential to be really good, but unless there is a change at the top, no amount of exhibit updates will help.

This cruise line has two levels. The lower deck which is closed in. It also has a small bar area for drinks as well as non- alcoholic beverages. They sell light snacks such as chips, hotdogs, etc. I tried the Miles River drink. It was delicious. She made it perfectly. We decided to let the wind blow in our hair. So we remained on the top level which was open windows. The views were amazing. Just bring a light jacket because it gets a little windy on the water. I would like to do this again. Maybe during warmer weather though. Even though I still enjoyed everything about it. If you're interested in learning St. Michael's history while enjoying the calming waters. This would be perfect.
