A guided flotilla cruise is simply a fleet of cruising yachts, chartered or otherwise, sailing to a common destination each day. The flotilla is supported by trip leaders who will sail on a lead boat. In some cases, it may be possible to put experienced crew aboard your yacht to assist with sailing and navigating the vessel. Participants get the benefits of a bareboat chartering experience and experienced guides to help you find and enter lesser known anchorages and towns in the cruising area.
When scheduled, the cost of each trip generally includes:
Chesapeake Flotillas offers cruises which start from Rock Hall, MD. They are two or three-day trips which run Saturday through Sunday with boarding Friday evening or Friday through Sunday boarding Thursday evening. If you would like to make it a flotilla cruise, reserve a whole boat and assemble your own crew or possibly sign up to join an existing crew. Sailors interested in being Skippers for a flotilla will be required to demonstrate their abilities at the time of reservation by submitting a sailing resume at a minimum. More information may be requested depending on the extent of the resume.
