Keeping you safe
Our Captain and crew have been vaccinated!
SeaAffinity has developed and adopted these COVID protocols because we have the utmost concern for both your safety and ours. We also know that many are eager to get out and enjoy the outdoors on the water, or participate on sailing and boating lessons. We have been communicating frequently with the offices of the Governor, Mayor, our representatives, and the Department of Natural Resources. On May 25, 2020, Governor Hogan issued an order allowing the reopening of certain businesses and facilities (read the order HERE) With guidance from these, including direct permission from the MD Department of Natural Resources, we feel it is safe for us to resume programs under our COVID protocols. Yes, there will be some changes which are listed below. If you have questions or concerns, please contact us.
