This week's spring-like weather has us dreaming up fun-filled summer days out on the water in the Chesapeake Bay. Highlighted are our top picks for Rock Hall's best water activities to do this fast-approaching boating season.

Experience life on the tiki side. Rock Hall Harbor's newest sensation, the Rock Hall Tiki Boat (pictured above), provides cruisers a unique and tropical viewpoint of the harborfront and beyond. The seasonal B.Y.O.B. cruises are available for 90-minute trips, Sunday morning mimosas, special occasions and more.

Book a fishing or sailing charter. For those without a helm of their own – or looking for a break from one – Rock Hall's waterfront is teeming with opportunities to get out on the water. Book one of the many fishing charters available to you, or relax with the wind in your sails aboard one of Haven Charters' primed and ready vessels.

Paddle places less traveled. Surrounded by protected waters, Rock Hall is one of the Chesapeake's best spots to paddle. Venture from Haven Harbour Marina's basin (aboard our complimentary kayaks and paddelboards) up Swan or Tavern Creeks to experience the upper bay's tributaries in all their secluded glory; or tour Rock Hall Harbor for distant views of Chesapeake Bay Bridge under glowing light of breathtaking sunset scenes.

Visit nearby boating destinations. If an afternoon excursion by boat is something high on your summertime to-do list, consider taking a ride to nearby locales like Tolchester's The Shanty Bar, Queenstown Creek or Langford's Cacaway Island.
