Welcome to Annapolis Canoe and Kayak
Did you know that Annapolis Canoe and Kayak supports local music? To further our commitment to a unique and talented local music scene, we are stocking CD's from some of our local favorites. Currently on sale at ACK is music from Sweet Leda and Pressing Strings......more to come soon!
A big Thank You to John, Jeff, and Melissa at Annapolis Harbor Boat Yard! What an amazing learning experience to have their expert advice and skill right at our side. Thanks also go to all who brought their boats for us to work on and, of course, to Lee for the grilling magic!

Are you properly prepared for cold water paddling?
There are many safety considerations involved with paddling, and one of the most important for paddling in the colder months would have to be dressing to swim. As unlikely as an accidental capsize may seem to many paddlers....we suggest you play it safe and "dress to swim!"
ACK has wet suits, dry suits, first layer wear, jackets, shoes, gloves, and more from Kokatat, NRS, Chota, SealSkinz, and more.
To learn more about the effects and dangers of cold water, as well as tips to help keep you safe, check out the CPA's "Cold Water Brochure" HERE
ACK recently hosted The Chesapeake Paddlers Association's Cold Water Clinic.

But you’ll have the advantage of an expert guide who has “hindsight.” Let John Page Williams take you on a journey along the waterways traveled by Smith and discover the special places Smith described and how remarkably the same—or different—these places are today.
