Parking for the Schooner Woodwind
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
Closest Parking Lots:
All less than a half-mile away, and in order of proximity

CUSTOM GOOGLE MAP: We made this up to give you up-to-date info on parking garage rates and info on advanced reservations for parking. Clicking on each PIN will give you info and a link if they have advance reserve parking. You can also get directions to any of the PINS by clicking them and then going to the arrow on the upper right side of the box. This includes getting directions to the boat from whichever garage you choose, or wherever you are at the time. There are many other Annapolis City Garages, designated by GREEN PINS, that are more than a half-mile away but accessed by a FREE MAGENTA BUS.
The Free Magenta Bus is a bus that quickly and efficiently moves individuals from the City’s parking garages around the Central Business District and Westgate Circle to Memorial Circle.

Reserve Parking at a Garage in Advance
The map above shows the Parking Lots with the FREE MAGENTA BUS ROUTE route (the magenta line) that moves the public from the City’s garages around town. And the ride is FREE! (Whether you park there or not!)
Free parking: In Eastport (the other side of the bridge leading from Compromise Street) there are no residential parking limits. If you see a space on the street, you can take it. No parking on red or yellow curbs. And on Fourth street, there might be signs of how long you can park there. From Eastport, you can walk a short couple of blocks or take a water taxi from Carrol’s Creek Cafe’s Marina Dock or the Chart House Restaurant.
