We went for a spontaneous visit to Chesapeake City and loved this find. The kids (4,3, 9 months) loved it. The husband and I relaxed with drinks and a nice breeze in our face. Great value for the price. Military discount which as a military family we loved! The bathroom was clean and the service was fantastic.

This was our first time in this are and we were looking for something to do and thought a little cruise would be perfect. It was well worth and we enjoyed the whole experience. They really do a great job with making you feel comfortable and they are very knowledgeable of the area go over all the spots on the cruise. The sights are amazing and we will be going back for another cruise. Check them out they do different times of day and you will not be disappointed.

Our voyage with Chesapeake City Water Tours was a group activity that was easy to set up and really enjoyable on this comfortable boat. We were running a little late getting to the dock, but we called to give them a heads up and they were very accommodating. Captain DJ and crew offered some history and explanation of the sights along the C&D Canal. In fact, you could tell that they enjoyed cruising the canal as much as we did! Highly recommended for a group outing!

Kimmel Carter

12:53 26 Sep 18

DJ and his crew were amazing for our law firm's event. Couldn't have asked for better hospitality. If you are looking to get out on the water for your next corporate function, look no further. These guys are great!

We will be back every year! I wish this was here when my husband and I got married in Chesapeake City it would have been awesome for our family and friends. They also have a Water Taxi to the other restaurant called Schaefer's Canal House if you stay for the night and want to try something new.

We had our Wedding on October 21st onboard the "Chase N' Dreams". It was a gorgeous day and the boat was immaculate. The staff was very friendly, accommodating and helped to make our day extra special. The food was handled perfectly and the drinks were prepared and served with a smile! Captain DJ sailed the vessel into just the right places for a fantastic view. We didn't have to worry about anything it was a stress free beautiful evening.We started the sunset cruise with cocktails and appetizers. Then we said our vows and had the main course followed by dessert. It was amazing to be surrounded by friends and family on our special day. Captain DJ and crew were amazing!Thank you for a perfect wedding day!

Chesapeake City Water Tours are THE BEST! I had been wanting to check them out for quite some time, but finally had the opportunity, and boy, was I wowed. The boat is immaculate, with restroom on board, the crew is phenomenal, extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Was fortunate enough to tour on an evening with State Line Liquors, who brought an impressive spread. Cannot recommend this more highly, will definitely be back. I imagine the private/group tours are fantastic as well!

Strolling along the South Chesapeake City waterfront with another couple from California we encountered Captain DJ Fasick and his First Mate Nick. They were getting ready to button things up for the day, but agreed to take us for a short "joyride" in the smaller of their two vessels on a lovely evening at sunset. The views were spectacular, the crew very knowledgeable, and helpful in every way. A most enjoyable experience!
