Where to find the Schooner Woodwind:
Schooner Woodwinds are docked at the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel and Pusser’s Caribbean Grille.
Walk around the right side of the hotel to the entrance to the dock where you’ll see a “Woodwind Sailing Cruises” sign. You will be looking for a little gray and blue kiosk that is our “Ticket” Office. You can also walk through the restaurant, Pusser’s, to get to the dock.
Dock & Ticket Office: 410-263-8994
There are no designated parking spots for sailing on the Woodwind. Annapolis can be very challenging when finding parking, so the following info should be helpful. We have done our best to check rates, but these rates are not guaranteed and should be considered a guideline.
PRIVATE PARKING LOTS, CITY GARAGES, AND EASTPORT STREET PARKING are the only ways to park without a 2-Hour Limit.
All Woodwind cruises are 2-hours or longer.
Street Parking & Metered Parking: All have a limit of two hours. These spots do not allow you to extend the time, you must change the zone that your car is parked in and pay for another spot.
Pay for parking ahead of time and know you have a spot! Spot Hero Annapolis
