The Boathouse

The Boathouse in Deale, Maryland, is a charming waterfront destination known for its relaxed atmosphere and stunning views of the Chesapeake Bay. Located at the Anchored Inn, this distinctive open-air venue centers around the Southern Belle, a repurposed 1961 Chesapeake Bay workboat that now serves as a bar. Guests can sip signature cocktails—like the crowd-favorite Orange Crush—while enjoying fresh seafood favorites from The Galley food truck, including crab cakes, oysters, fish tacos, and loaded fries.

With live music on weekends and special events like the seasonal “Bring Your Wheels to Deale” car show, The Boathouse is a lively gathering spot. Dine on the outdoor patio, take in the gentle sea breeze, and soak in the scenic marina views. A favorite of both locals and Chesapeake Paradise guests, it’s the perfect place to savor the flavors and spirit of the Bay in a laid-back setting.
