Cruising the Chesapeake: A Gunkholer's Guide August 29, 2008
This 3rd edition (2001) of Cruising the Chesapeake: A Gunkholer's Guide is a good guide to out of the way places, but a bit dated related to shore facilities. This, however, is not an issue if you are looking for remote anchorages so worth having aboard. An updated 4th edition would definitely be a worthwhile endeavor and an excellent resource.
Excellent overall description of the Chesapeak December 16, 2007
I bought this book because I wanted a complete description of the Chesapeak area to help us in a planned visit of the area. It has met or exceeded my expectations with excellent maps and complete descriptions of the navigable areas. It provides detailed navigation advice along with an overall description of what to see, facilities, history, etc...
 Indispensible January 4, 2007
Not to be trite, but this book is an absolute must for anyone who seriously cruises Chesapeake Bay including its approaches. Superb detail and illustrations compliment a clear, carefully worded text. I have and use two other cruising guides for additional information but always start and end with this book.
The very best guide for the gunkholer September 24, 2006

I have two copies of the 2001 edition: one aboard my sailboat in Annapolis and the second in my office. Most of my use of the book has been in the middle Chesapeake. In crawling up and down the Magothy, Severn, South, West, Rhode, Chester, Wye, and Tred Avon Rivers this book has provided helpful insight into what I would find. This book and the Maptech chart book are all you need to find your way to and through the backwaters of the Chesapeake.

We have a power boat but found this book to be very informative & helpful. We are planning our trip, have not been to the Chesapeake in about 25 years, and have found this book the best yet in our preparations. We like to anchor out and this book is informative not specifically focusing jumping from marina to marina like many guides do.
