Boatyard Bar & Grill

The Boatyard, its owner and staff are committed to a healthier Bay, sailing fast, fishing with friends and happy kids. It is a member of One Percent For The Planet, a group of businesses who donate greater than one percent of their annual sales to the natural environment. This Club was started by Yvon Chouinard, owner of the Patagonia Corporation, and Craig Matthews, owner of Blue Ribbon Fly Shop in West Yellowstone, Montana, and friend of Dick's. The Boatyard received the Annapolis Environmental Stewardship Certification from the City of Annapolis. It recycles just about everything including its food scraps that go to composting... even the oyster shells are collected by the Oyster Recovery Program. The Boatyard founded and importantly sponsors, four outdoor lifestyle charity events annually: the Boatyard Opening Day Rockfish Catch & Release Tournament benefitting the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Coastal Conservation Association MD, and the Annapolis Police Department Youth Fishing Camp; Bands in the Sand for and at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation; The Boatyard Regatta to benefit C.R.A.B. (Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating) which gets those with disabilities on sailboats; and The Boatyard Beach Bash for and at the Annapolis Maritime Museum. These events have raised upwards of $2 million over the years.
