It's a wonderful 2 hour boat ride on the chester river. We took the dinner cruise. We had a chicken/noodle type bake and a tasty salad & roll. No complaints there, as you could go back for seconds. Chocolate chip cookies for dessert. The only disappointment I had was the way they run the bar. They charged a hefty price for wine, which I could handle IF they didn't give you a mini cup and fill it barely half way. When I ordered a soda, same thing and didn't give the can. Mind you, ice is in the cup so maybe half a can was given if that. I had to request the cup be filled to the top. If you are going to charge hefty for soda or wine, at least give a fair share. The boat ride is smooth riding but bring a jacket, the evening gets chilly even on a hot day. We would go again. Captain and mate were very friendly. Enjoyed the evening !

This was a great experience. We attended a Packet cruise for a wedding Renee party. Excellent. The menu included some of the best crab cakes of the season. The staff on board was all about comfort and safety. Excellent service by all. The cruise left from the waterfront in Chestertown and lasted a few hours. The sunset cruise took us (local) to a view of the Chester River that we had never seen before and our guides added some running commentary on some of the flagship properties along the shore. A great experience- highly recommended.

Signed up for the casual cruise on Friday, September 27. What time is the cruise? Not sure if it is still the summer schedule or the fall schedule. Five or 6 o'clock?

Hi Sue, With the sun setting earlier these days, we're now in the "Fall" hours of 6:00 - 8:00 pm for the "Casual Cuisine" cruises. You should have received an email with all pertinent boarding information, but our website is also up-to-date if you need it. Thanks for checking!

What is the actual address where you board the Packet?

Charlotte Garst | Oct 29, 2019
Chester River Packet Company | Oct 29, 2019

Hi Charlotte, We always board from the High Street Town Dock (use GPS "100 High St., Chestertown, MD 21620" - then continue to the end/dock), unless otherwise specified. Thanks for asking!

What kind of food is on the "casual buffet"?

Emily Savill | Oct 29, 2019
Chester River Packet Company | Oct 29, 2019

Hi Emily, The menus change for each trip, but we typically have a main protein item (beef, chicken, pork, etc) with sides that go with it, possibly a green salad, and then cookies or something for dessert.

What time of the day are your weekday cruises

Bill Westlake | Oct 29, 2019
Chester River Packet Company | Oct 29, 2019

Hi Bill, Our public schedule consists of night and weekend cruises - there's not much of a demand for weekday/afternoon trips at this time, but that could always change. We hope you can join us sometime when you're in town!

Is it handicap excessible

Lee Anderson | Oct 29, 2018
Chester River Packet Company | Oct 29, 2018

We are not handicap accessible. The narrow gangway entry is relative to the tides so at low tide it's close to a ramp, but at high tide it's more like a ladder. Thank you for your inquiry!
