Cruise from Annapolis Harbor along the Scenic Severn River, spotting wildlife and waterfront sights on a narrated 90-minute trip.

About this tour

Set out from Annapolis Harbor for a narrated cruise along the Scenic Severn River, where wetlands, historic waterfront, and open water frame a fresh view of the city. This 90-minute, six-mile journey passes the U.S. Naval Academy seawall and continues toward the river’s headwaters, with an air-conditioned vessel and onboard restrooms for comfort along the way.

As the shoreline unfolds, look for osprey, blue herons, and bald eagles above the wetlands. Keep watch on the water for cow-nosed rays and the occasional dolphin. The route also reveals waterfront homes and the natural character of this protected river, while narration brings the region’s maritime history into view. Drinks and snacks are available for purchase at the full-service bar.

How this score is calculated

This tour scores 4.50 on Viator and 5.00 on GetYourGuide. Ratings on these sites cluster near the top of the 5-star scale, so we compare each one with all other ratings on the same site before combining them.

How the score works and rating distribution in Annapolis
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1.
