Summer Chesapeake Bay Benefit Cruise 

​The Friends of the Rising Sun Inn is partnering with Cruises on the Bay™ by Watermark® to host an afternoon of fun as we cruise the Chesapeake Bay, hear tales of our iconic lighthouses, and raise money to support the ongoing preservation projects at the Historic Rising Sun Inn located in central Anne Arundel County on the famed Washington Rochambeau Revolutionary Route, Generals Highway, in Crownsville, Maryland.

The Bay Lighthouse Cruise Bay will be on Thursday, August 20, 2020, from 11:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. (cruise departs at 11:15 a.m.) at Annapolis City Docks, 1 Dock Street, Annapolis. Tickets for this Benefit Cruise are $59.00 for adults and $28.00 for children (ages 3 – 11) and include a three-hour Chesapeake Bay cruise featuring a live tour guide as you pass under the twin spans of the Bay Bridge and by Sandy Point Shoal, Baltimore Harbor, and Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouses. 

Sit back and enjoy the sites along the waters of the Bay including the scenic Severn River, the Bay Bridge, and our historic lighthouses. Box lunches (turkey/cheese or ham/cheese) are also available for $10.00 and must be purchased in advance. Beverages are available for purchase on the boat only, and the Watermark® folks do allow outside beverages. All proceeds raised will support the much needed repairs and the ongoing preservation and restoration of the Inn including masonry work associated with the exterior restoration project, water intrusion mitigation project (basement), and the HVAC system replacement.
