Come Sail With Us!
We're vaccinated for your safety and peace of mind!
When you book our sailing experience, your payment goes to fund our non-profit outreach programs.
Join our group experience as we sail around Baltimore Harbor and the Patapsco river (can be booked as a private experience as well). Do as much, or as little as you like. Take the helm, hoist and trim the sails, tack, jibe, or just sit back and enjoy the ride. We'll leave from Tindeco Wharf and sail out into the harbor. From there, we decide to sail toward the inner harbor or out past Fort McHenry, into the Patapsco river toward the Key bridge.
This is a great opportunity to get more sailing time and develop your sailing skills under the watchful eye of a US Sailing Master Instructor Trainer. Never sailed before? No problem, during our time we'll teach you as much as you want.
Just get away from it all on a relaxing sail? That not a problem either. Bring snacks and beverages to enjoy and just take in the breeze and enjoy the sights and sounds of sailing.
Other things to note
We're sailing on the 36' sailboat so it's not likely you'll get wet (unless it is raining). We will sail in light rain, but not in thunderstorms.
This experience is only offered through AirBnB Experiences.
If you enjoy your experience, it is okay to tip your captain and crew as you would any other in the service industry.

Come Cuddle With Animals On A Local Micro-Farm
Looking for a fun outdoor activity for the family? Need to de-stress from the craziness of life? Cuddling with animals offers the opportunity to relax your mind and let go of the stress and anxiety for brief period. Not to mention, it's just FUN!
During your visit, you will have one hour to cuddle and play with the animals on our micro-farm. Being that this is an outdoor experience, we are really not set up to do cuddle sessions during inclement weather. If we are expecting bad weather for your booked hour, I'm happy to work with you on re-scheduling for a nicer day or time.
We currently have lots of Nigerian Dwarf goats of varying ages, a 2.5 year-old miniature Zebu named Molly, a rescue steer named Ferdinand, and two pigs named Charlie and Ellie. We also have numerous chickens, as well as our Holland Lop bunnies Oliver and Willow.
** For the health and safety of both our animals and yours, we do not allow outside animals to visit the farm. **
**We do not have a public bathroom on-site, since this is our home. For your convenience, we do offer a Porta-John with hand sanitizer**
*** For those interested, we do offer our pasture raised eggs available for purchase from our farm store during your visit. We also have homemade goat milk soap, lotion bars and candles for sale.***
**If you book a private event, please be sure to state how many people are in your group.**
Secret Doors Museum Tour
From spies to secret passageways put your super sleuth skills to the test as you search for over 80 secret doors and explore our themed rooms. We would never give you a map - this would ruin the surprise of finding a secret door but you will have a Q & A with one of our docents before you start your journey. It’s not in the finding, it’s in the seeking that is important. Experience the magic!
Your self-guided experience will begin with an in-depth video introduction to our history and our secret doors, as well as what to look for as you go. Then, we will send you off on your own to search for the secrets and treasures that are everywhere to be found.
As you explore the mansion, which is steeped in history and intrigue, you'll be walking in the footsteps of presidents, freedom fighters, G-Men, historians, famous musicians, and fiction writers. Built 125 years ago, nearly every President since Teddy Roosevelt has visited.
Things to note
We guarantee you can see at least 60 of our legendary rooms — but be warned secret doors are tricky to find —if you find 2 or 3 you are an above average sleuth
All ages can attend. If you have a short attention span, this is the place for you because there is so much to see and do. If you are a minimalist, you will be overwhelmed. Museum closes: Sunday - Tuesday at 6pm and Wednesday - Saturday at 9pm.

Magical Lightpainting portraits under the stars in Annapolis
Get some amazing photos under the stars in Annapolis. I create these magical portraits using lightpainting techniques and various lights.
It's a long exposure photo where all you have to do is strike a pose! I do everything else by moving light around to create the image while you try to hold still for a second or so.
Sometimes I use a flash and other times a more silhouetted image looks most interesting.
The best part about this photoshoot is there are no limits to what we can create! It's always a blast doing this type of photography and I used to own an "Interactive Photobooth" and do this style of photography for big events.
I even became recognized as one of the top 50 lightpainting photographers in the WORLD!
I love sharing it with as many people as possible and I guarantee this will be the most fun you ever have at a photoshoot!
Perfect for singles, couples, families, or retreats.

If you've ever dreamed of sailing in a tropical paradise, we can help you get a great start to achieve that dream!
From the very start you'll be on our stable and comfortable 36' Sabre sailboat, Condor. We'll jump right in with a little hands-on theory and terminology.

Under our watchful and encouraging direction, you will be sailing! Just the wind and the sails and you!
You and the other students will rotate through each position on the boat. You will be steering and hoisting and trimming sails, putting the theory you just learned to practical use. We limit the class size to five students to ensure that everyone gets sufficient hands-on time to learn and practice and ask questions.
During this class, you'll learn basic sailing theory, terminology, and how to steer, hoist sails, trim sails, and tack.
You will also have the opportunity to see many of the famous (and not so famous) Baltimore waterfront landmarks.
