But if this experience leaves you with a feeling of wanderlust, or wander-boating, have no fear: there are great ways to get on the water and explore Annapolis Harbor and the Chesapeake Bay during the show without owning your own vessel.

While it’s hard to explain to non-boaters, some of the best boating on the Chesapeake happens in September and October. Waterfront festivals and fairs crowd the shorelines. Cooler weather means you can leave the dock even if you don’t have air conditioning. And the jellyfish … well, they’re not as bad.
