2025 SCOO Chesapeake Bay Cruise
Join fellow SCOO members for an adventure cruising the vast and diverse Chesapeake Bay. We depart Monday, May 12, weather permitting. We will take five days to reach Hampton, VA, via the Virginia Cut of the ICW, with stops at Dowry Creek Marina, Southern Alligator River (anchorage), Coinjock Marina, and Atlantic Yacht Basin, arriving at Hampton on Friday, May 16. A survey about your marina preferences will be sent to registered boats so we can give the marinas advance notice. Reservations will be the responsibility of each boat.
After arriving at Hampton, boats are welcome to set their own courses for exploring the Bay. Some may wish to buddy up with other boats or set out on their own. We will organize a welcoming social in Hampton to discuss options. There are unlimited harbors and anchorages to explore up and down the Bay. The cruise is described as ending on June 6, but each boat will determine its own itinerary. There will be no organized return.
Guidance and information about the Chesapeake Bay were provided at a meeting on March 22. If you were unable to attend, contact Carl Crothers, carlcrothers52@gmail.com for a copy of the presentation. Carl is also available to answer questions, 336-408-4993.
