We went on the Patriot Cruises and had a good overall experience. Itโs about a 70-minute cruise around the bay, and we purchased the tickets along with the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, which made it a convenient add-on. Itโs a unique and affordable way to get out on the water and enjoy a relaxing boat ride while seeing some homes along the shoreline, though it is from quite a distance. The crew was very friendly and walked around chatting with guests, which added to the experience. One downside was that the captain seemed to heavily favor the right side of the boat, not really pointing out or talking about anything on the left side, which was a bit disappointing for those seated on the left side. Additionally, the captain mostly focused on the cost of the homes and what owners spent on them; while the pre-recorded portions provided more of the historical background, which was actually more interesting. Overall, a relaxing and worthwhile cruise, especially if youโre already visiting the museum.
May 5, 2026 ยท Google ReviewIf you enjoy a relaxing boat ride, Patriot Cruises is for you! One a two-level boat that looks like a historic ferry, the cruise is 70 minutes and includes a tour pointing out historic sites and beautiful waterfront mansions. The final 20 minutes includes music and relaxation. There's a bar and snack area in the lower level and enclosed seating with tables. Upstairs is open air seating. To see most of the properties noted, sit on the right side of the boat. Bring cash so you can tip at the end.

There was live music playing, Steve Lowe and the Lowe Downs- who were great! The drinks were well made and decently priced. The captain Matt, and his wife Joyce, spent some time talking to us and making sure our experience was the best it could be. The quick incoming storm with lightening and torrential downpours were less than ideal, but staff allowed us to remain on the boat a few minutes extra until the storm had passed. Everyone was so kind and personable. If we return to St. Michaels we would do this again!
