Sailing Trips on the Schooner Sultana (Ages 11-14)

SULTANA is a reproduction of a topsail schooner used by the British Royal Navy to enforce the infamous “Tea Taxes” along the North American coast in the years preceding the American Revolution. Built directly from the Royal Navy’s original 1768 plans, the modern SULTANA is one of the most accurate replicas of an 18th century sailing vessel found anywhere in the world. Chesapeake Adventures trips on SULTANA are five days in length, and generally see SULTANA make a port-to-port transit of approximately 100 miles on the Chesapeake Bay. SULTANA trips accommodate nine students under the supervision of six crew.

Kayaking Adventures on the John Smith Trail (Ages 11-14)

Chesapeake Adventures offers five-day kayaking trips on the National Park Service’s new Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. Established in 2006, the John Smith Trail follows the route of Captain John Smith’s 1607-1609 exploration of the Chesapeake and includes some of the most remote and pristine areas of the Bay. Each kayaking trip splits its time between the Sassafras and Chester rivers on Maryland’s upper Eastern Shore, and the Nanticoke river and Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge on the lower Eastern Shore. Kayaking trips accommodate ten students under the supervision of three staff.
