What are three of the best ways for groups to take in the maritime heritage and waterfront setting of Baltimore?
- Bo Brooks: A Baltimore tradition since 1965, Bo Brooks offers a true Maryland treat: steamed blue crabs! Maryland is known for its delicious blue crab from the Chesapeake Bay. There is no better place to experience this tradition than at Bo Brooks. Located on the waterfront in the Canton neighborhood, this restaurant offers a waterfront view to enjoy the feast. A floating pier offers a terrific outdoor environment for groups to eat, drink and enjoy the view of the Inner Harbor. This restaurant can accommodate groups from 25 to 500 people, and smaller groups can even arrive via boat.
- Schooner Woodwind Cruises: The Woodwind and Woodwind II schooners offer many options for guests wanting to sail in the Inner Harbor. These 74-foot, two-masted, staysail schooners can be chartered by groups for team-building activities, sunset cruises or even a midday beer tasting. In 2005, the Woodwind II went Hollywood, as it was featured in the movie Wedding Crashers. These pristine sailing yachts can accommodate up to 48 guests each.
- Fell’s Point: Baltimore is America’s first major seaport located on the Chesapeake Bay, and the Fell’s Point neighborhood is an historic waterfront community. Here, guests can walk cobblestone streets and see how the waterfront location played a significant role in the development of the city of Baltimore. For example, the Fell’s Point Shipyard built the famous USS Constellation in the late 18th century. Fell’s Point is also home to Bertha’s Restaurant & Bar, which is famous for its mussels and a great stop on any tour. The Fell’s Point experience is perfect for a daytime tour in small groups of 20 to 30 guests.
