Located on Restaurant Row in the historic maritime district of Eastport, the Boatyard is just a short walk or water taxi ride from Annapolis City Docks. The interior is like that of an old yacht, with shiny white walls, mahogany, sea foam green ceilings and large wooden beams. It will take many visits to appreciate all of the many paintings and items collected during the owners’ travels. The old wooden fishing skiff that was bought off a beach in Saint Barths, an original wooden sign from Hogs Breath Bar in Key West, and a surfboard autographed to the Boatyard by singer/songwriter Jack Johnson are just a few examples. The Boatyard is where local sailors, fishermen and lovers of the Chesapeake enjoy pint drinks, great crab cakes and the freshest local seafood. Specialties include smoked fish of the day (on premise), cream of crab and Maryland crab soups and an extensive list of crab and seafood specialties. The Boatyard has the most extensive raw bar in the area including a variety of oysters, clams, shrimp and mussels. Its weekend brunch is tops.
