Guests of all ages enjoy learning about the Chesapeake Bay first hand on a CBF Bay Discovery Trip.

James Ronayne

At CBF, we believe that the best way to experience the Chesapeake Bay watershed is to immerse yourself in it.

With your generous support, CBF offers hands-on, unique outdoor education experiences in some of the region's most inspiring places. Now is your chance to experience the magic of a Bay Discovery Trip.

Aboard CBF education vessels, we will venture out on the Chesapeake Bay to explore the surrounding waterways. Our staff will discuss the current state of the Bay and its tributaries and examine what is living in these dynamic parts of the Bay.

Here's what recent guests have said about their experience:

 

"This was amazing. So much fun and so informative!"

"It was such a captivating and exciting learning experience.
The captain was very knowledgeable, and it was a fun time as well."

 

Trips are held in the spring and fall. Members receive a discount. Not a member yet? Join today!
