If you'd like to discover an important page in the history of the United States, why not try a yacht charter in Annapolis. The current capital of the State of Maryland, the city of Annapolis was the very first capital of the fledgling American nation. The four signatories of the famous Declaration of Independence also came from this city. Their homes can still be found there today.
Annapolis: at the heart of history
The city of Annapolis was founded in 1649 on the Chesapeake Bay. Initially a simple settlement, it developed rapidly and was named in honor of Princess Anne. It should be noted that the city was built according to a baroque plan and the main monuments according to Georgian architecture.
If you'd like to admire these beautiful architectural works, plan a little urban trek during your stopover in Annapolis. A splendid open-air museum, the city is home to the famous Senate Chamber. It was here that General Washington resigned from his post as General of the Continental Army in 1783. Also discover the Maison d'État where the Treaty of Paris, which ended the American Revolution, was ratified in 1784.

Above all, you can enjoy pleasant boat trips on Chesapeake Bay. Whether you are a sailing enthusiast or a novice, you can enjoy leisurely excursions on the bay. It is also a great opportunity to take the family for a swim or enjoy the peace and quiet away from the crowds.
On your return from your pleasant escape at sea, consider making a little gourmet stop in the welcoming restaurants that populate the bay. Don't hesitate to order the regional specialties, especially the crab cooked with all kinds of sauces. A pure delight!
