We like to keep things fresh and lively here at the Boatyard and the 18^th Annual Boatyard Bar & Grill Opening Day Rockfish Tournament was no exception!  With winds gusting up to 30 on Saturday, our illustrious judges led by Joe Evans, (his daytime job is editor of Chespeake Bay Magazine)  deemed it prudent to add an additional day to fish on Sunday to offset Saturday's potentially hazardous weather.  With the option to fish one or both days, an occurrence only experienced once before in the history of the event, anglers boldly ventured out to enjoy what they love.

I hate to brag about my team but just once please….The Boatyard was just named  The Baltimore Sun Critic's Choice for “Best Crab Cake”.  If you know Baltimore, one thing they hold near and dear are their crab cakes.  For the Baltimore Sun to name us in Annapolis is huge.

Great going Chef George!  (Of course, he was culinary trained and is a Batlimore native so he came up with his recipe there).  We sold over 79,000 crab cakes last year, most right here in the restaurant but a good number also shipped nationwide, along with our crab soups and crab dip.  Her's what the Baltimore Sun said about us "The six ounce orbs (don't call them patties) of jumbo lump crab bring patrons streaming, by land and sea, to Boatyard Bar & Grill...."

18th Annual Boatyard Bar & Grill Opening Day Rockfish Tournament - April 20, 2019

As a charity event, not only are the anglers doing what they love, their participaton benefits the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Coastal Conservation Association Maryland and the Annapolis Police Department Youth Fishing Camp.

The 18th Annual Rockfish Opening Day Catch & Release Tournament is possible because of our amazing sponsors, with Anglers Sports Center leading the way as the title sponsor since the tournament's inception in 2001. 

We have to be back for the March parties!

It's Feb. and I haven’t written since Nov 1.  Why? because it’s winter in Annapolis and after the regattas, fishing tournaments, Navy football games, boat shows, outdoor beach parties and the holidays, things slow down a lot. View from my house....does it look slow or what? Wait, not totally dead!!

 The Boatyard’s monthly Full Moon Parties and Angler Nights bring everyone out.

Summer at the Boatyard Bar & Grill

September and lots to write to you about..............

Before Fin and the Sailer girls head off to school we got them to WRNR to do a radio ad. They have done so about 8 or 9 years now.   Fin, Morgan and Lilly Sailer at the station. Of course Eastport Pirate Tom Weaver is the voice of the Boatyard and Tom with WRNR producer/DJ Rob do an amazing job.

The third of our big outdoor charity events was mid-August - the Boatyard CRAB Cup to benefit CRAB - Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating for those of all ages with disabilities including wounded warriors. This regatta was followed up later that week with the CRAB Annapolis Police Dept Youth Sailing Camp for at risk kids. What a great group!! G and me with Title Sponsor Annapolis Volvo’s Michelle Eichorn at the afterparty featuring Misspent Youth - amazing band. Thank you, Michelle!!!  And of course, Mt. Gay Rum and Red Stripe Beer among others.   Me posing with our Boatyard team, GM Kevin and servers Gabby and Michael.   Our Captain and crew on Juice, very respectable showing less than a minute behind the other Alerion that races in every regatta. Good going Dave.  Enjoy the pictures, more on our site Boatyard Bar & Grill gallery.

The whales!!

Hello from the Boatyard!! It’s July and we are in the thick of summer and loving it. In the “land of pleasant living” as they used to say on the Natty Boh jingle-in the 70s. Where have all the years (flowers) gone? Yikes! The Boatyard is cranking and it’s great to be full every day. We appreciate your patronage and are working hard to continue to deserve it. 77,000 crab cakes sold last year. It’s a high bar but you’re helping us beat it. And you’re shipping those crab cakes online nationwide to your Uncle Louie in Omaha and as corporate gifts to your important clients in Sacramento. Thanks!

Our second big event, Bands In the Sand at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s beautiful Merrill Center, in mid-June was an amazing success. Best ever. Sold out in a week or so. Great bands, food, drinks, weather, sponsors, guests, boats, etc. Thank you!   We raised record setting funds for CBF to do their great work to Save the Bay, and you know by now that the Bay is getting so much better!! Thank you CBF- its staff, supporters, and those with the political will to help us leave a better Bay for our kids.
