About the Business

Welcome to South Annapolis Yacht Centre (SAYC); the exclusive in-town destination marina with 74 annual and transient slips accommodating vessels up to 135 feet. Following a fresh vision under new ownership, SAYC is part of a rich Annapolis maritime heritage and will be a beautiful marina village, a state of the art boatyard, and office spaces available to local maritime businesses. Our new marina features floating piers, Ipe decking, state-of-the-art power pedestals, a new three-phase power grid, and many other amenities. SAYC is conveniently located along Spa Creek in the historic Eastport area of Annapolis, Maryland. Considered the most protective haven for yachts in the area, our location upriver of the Spa Creek drawbridge is protected, quiet, and less subject to the wakes, currents & wind associated with being in the harbor. Just a short walk or water taxi to downtown Annapolis, SAYC has easy access to city dock, Annapolis Harbor and the Severn River. We offer an ideal homeport for enjoying the most popular parts of the Chesapeake Bay, or the perfect cruising destination for transient captains. Amenities Include: Power/Water/Restrooms/Showers/Laundry/WiFi/Service Department/Pumpout.

Reviewing South Annapolis Yacht Centre (SAYC) is a challenge. Here is the short version of the history. The current owners purchased two adjacent marinas that were somewhere between run-down and sketchy. They've done a really outstanding clean up job and repaired a lot of things. They have an excellent development plan that respects the environment and the neighborhood although some reservations have been expressed. Downsides: you have to pass under the Spa Creek bridge so if your air draft is over 15 feet you have to wait for the drawbridge to open. Some infrastructure (parking, walkways) is still a little rough. Upsides: great management, good service, a true investment in the community, responsive staff, and a location that is really hard to beat when visiting Annapolis, good prices. You can walk to a range of good eateries: quite close are Vin 909, Eastport Kitchen, and Sammie's Italian Kitchen. Further but doable are Boatyard Bar and Grill, Carroll's Creek, Davis' Pub, and all of downtown historic Annapolis. Most maritime services in Annapolis (which is pretty much everything you might need) will come to SAYC. Giant Food grocery is within striking distance for general provisioning and for those special contributions for a docktail invitation Tastings Gourmet Market is in reach. Mills Fine Wine & Spirits is not far; a little beyond their delivery radius but if you are real nice.... I prefer Eastport Liquors. South Annapolis Yacht Centre is truly a contribution to the maritime community in Annapolis, America's Sailing Capitol.

Be your own captain. Bring your crew! Sea B’more’s electric boats are the ideal way to navigate through the afternoon. These chic and comfortable boats hold up to 10—children welcome!—It comes equipped with a cooler and speakers… read more

Marina Spotlights

South annapolis yacht centre - eastport, md, marina spotlight.

Crossing over or under the Spa Creek Drawbridge from downtown Annapolis into the Eastport neighborhood gives you the best of both worlds. The bustling city life of Maryland's state capital quickly eases into a slower-paced community a few miles away. Just west of the bridge, the charming South Annapolis Yacht Centre is nestled along the shore.

As this new marina boasts 74 slips and nine fixed-lift slips with Ipe floating docks, boaters will love the area's perfect balance of big-world sophistication and small town charm. Accommodating power, sail and catamarans up to 135 feet, the spacious location also offers efficient services including a pump-out station, 40,000 lb. covered lift slips and a new 75-ton travel lift. Equipped with Bluewater Yacht Sales on-site, a sales, service and detailing company is always at your convenience.

Top-notch amenities feature outdoor showers, laundry room, bike racks, Wi-Fi and 24-hour security. Fresh water is accessible from all slips and metered power includes 30, 50 and 100 AMP single phase. Local provisions can be found nearby at a grocery store and Eastport Shopping Plaza, as well as necessities at West Marine all less than two miles away. The closest fuel dock is only 0.2 nautical miles across the water.

The docks overlook stunning views of this historic seaport including St. Mary's Parish and surrounding 18th century architecture. The natural beauty of Spa Creek and abundance of centuries-old trees decorate the area known as America's Sailing Capital. Fishing, shopping, outdoor dining and sightseeing are among the town's many local attractions. Stay at a delightful bed and breakfast or upscale hotels such as Annapolis Waterfront Hotel or the Historic Inns of Annapolis .

Enjoy delicious Maryland seafood and craft cocktails at Eastport restaurants including Boatyard Bar & Grill , Carrol's Creek Cafe , Blackwall Hitch and O'Learys Seafood Restaurant . Across the water in the heart of downtown Annapolis, check out McGarvey's Saloon & Oyster Bar and Middleton Tavern , or dock and dine at Pusser's Caribbean Grille that overlooks the narrow waterway leading out to the Bay, known as Ego Alley.

The South Annapolis Yacht Centre marina village incorporates a state-of-the-art boatyard and marina with luxury living, says General Manager Remy Anderson. We offer an ideal homeport for enjoying the most popular parts of the Chesapeake Bay and the perfect cruising destination for transient captains.

As the home of the United States Power and Sailboat shows, don't miss experiencing the city during this extraordinary event in October.

A New Kind of Yacht Club

How Barton & Gray revolutionized the pleasure craft lifestyle

October 16, 2023

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Picture it: a cool Friday morning in Annapolis, Maryland, in September. The drum and bugle corps echoes in the distance as midshipmen march in dress parade. You grab a sweater and drive to the South Annapolis Yacht Center to board a brand-new Daychaser 48. Engineered for comfort and peak performance, the elegant yacht looks 007-approved, as if James Bond himself might jump aboard for a chase scene at any moment. It’s world-class construction dressed in old-school style. 

You and a friend settle into the open-air Bow Lounge to enjoy the sunshine. From the Pilothouse Bar, cocktails are served as you leave port. The promise of dinner wafts from the galley, but right now, you’re not thinking about your stomach. The vast Chesapeake shines before you, and with your captain at the helm, your only job is to appreciate the view.

How did this magical yachting scene come to be? There’s a saying that boats are “holes in the water into which you throw money.” But what if you could have the boating experience—on demand, any time you like—without the burden on your pocketbook and your patience? That’s exactly what Barton & Gray Mariners Club offers.

A yacht club for the modern age, Barton & Gray was conceived in 2006 by avid boaters Tim Barton and Doug Gray. With backgrounds in software and design, the partners took a cue from the sharing economy and applied the model to the pleasure craft industry, offering access to fleets of luxury day boats. No ownership necessary. Every ship captained for you. All members have to do is reserve their vessel of choice, then enjoy the ride. 

The Club initially launched with one Hinckley Picnic Boat in Nantucket and now boasts more than eighty crafts, including a sailing catamaran and fully restored vintage Boston Whalers, in thirty harbors—Charleston, New York City, Key Largo, and Annapolis, Maryland, to name a few—along the East Coast, the Great Lakes, and the tropics. The latest model in the Barton & Gray Mariners Club fleet is the aforementioned Daychaser 48, the work of over a decade of observation and inspiration from the B&G team, in partnership with Zurn Yacht Design in Marblehead, Massachusetts. 

It’s in Annapolis, at a harbor at the mouth of the Chesapeake that’s home to the United States Naval Academy, where the appeal of cruising in this masterpiece of nautical design is so plain to see. 

What does today’s Annapolis adventure hold? Water recreation opportunities abound when you use a Daychaser as a mothership. From its comfortable confines you might link up with local fishermen on a Deadrise fishing vessel to experience a quintessential Maryland tradition: trapping Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs. A smooth handoff of your fresh catch to your B&G Captain, fourth-generation Annapoliton Rusty Powers, delivers the ultimate local supper. 

Atop a newspaper spread, the delightful mess awaits, served with Old Bay seasoning, corn, vinegar, Utz potato chips, and ice-cold beer. If you’re lucky, you might get a special sauce courtesy of the Captain’s fiancée. Knife and mallet in hand, you extract the meat, the smell of saltwater wafting in the breeze.

Maybe next weekend you’ll get an earlier start and depart from the South Annapolis Yacht Center aboard the Daychaser into pristine waters to meet a local guide for a day fishing rockfish. Or maybe you’ll tool your way across the harbor to Maryland’s Eastern Shore for a late lunch at the Inn at Perry Cabin. Who knows? With your Barton & Gray Mariners Club Membership, the possibilities for days on the water are endless.
