Boating in Maryland: the Chesapeake, Its Rivers, and the Ocean City Inlet
Of the 431 boats and yachts for sale in Maryland on YachtBazar today, the median asking price is $52,000. By type, the most-listed here are powerboats (220), sailboats (61) and fishing boats (51). That mix is what the geography predicts: Maryland boating centers on the Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the United
States — protected water, tidal rivers and steady summer breeze — and Annapolis, which has
styled itself "America's Sailing Capital" for decades, is the center of it.
The Bay reads differently by stretch. The upper Bay around Baltimore and Middle River is
river-mouth water — the Patapsco, Back and Middle rivers — with city marinas a short run from
open water. Between Baltimore and Annapolis, river towns like Pasadena and Severna Park line the necks of the Magothy and Severn. Across the Bay Bridge, the Eastern Shore — Kent Island, Kent Narrows, the
Choptank — is shallower, quieter cruising and crabbing water. And Maryland has an ocean side
too: the Atlantic inlet at Ocean City is the state's offshore-fishing port, running a
different fleet — center consoles and sportfish — than the sloops and cruisers of the Bay.
Annapolis, Pasadena, Chester, Edgewater and Essex carry the most listings statewide; asking prices across the state run from $5,000 to $1,499,900, on boats from 15 to 150 ft. See the
