My son had an awesome time at sailing camp through the Downtown Sailing Center. The staff were…read morefriendly and knowledgeable. My son didn't know anything about sailing but was able to quickly learn basic mechanics in about 2 days thanks to the wonderful instructors. The camp is located next to the Baltimore Museum of Industry and has plenty of free parking. I love that the sailing center allowed parents view the kids on the last day of camp. We were given life jackets and was able to stand on the pier to watch out kids sailing around the inner harbor. They all seemed to learn so quickly since the summer camp was only 5 days long. My only gripe with this $400, 5 day camp is that the kids wouldn't be able to sail on days with inclement weather (obviously not the camp's fault). I also would like to see more diversity at the camp. Hopefully, the center will get more donations and incentives that will help to generate a more diverse group setting. Otherwise, we loved DSC.

The instructors were very friendly and patient, and they helped us learn how to sail while we enjoyed the incredible view of Inner Harbor. All in all, I was impressed with DSC's inclusive mission and its focus on the community. This organization is fantastic.

I am so belated in this review, as I did my pool sessions back in March with Thor. I am reminded…read morethat it was still outstanding because I am headed to YayScuba with my partner to manage his bottles now. I suggested he call them because I had such a positive experience and then realized I have only been sharing that with friends and family instead of in formal review. I was lucky enough to be Thor's solo student during my sessions and he did everything possible to make me comfortable. All of the skills were very personalized and he is very experienced and knowledgeable. Even more important, he was an excellent teacher. He was very patient and was quick to repeat skills that I misunderstood or was struggling with. The scuba world is very male dominated, but I was never the only female in the pool nor was I ever made to feel less capable than the male students doing a refresher course. Thor made the skills fun and he was meticulous about making sure I understood and could safely execute each one. I cannot recommend the shop or Thor enough to anyone starting out, but especially to women entering the water.

The instructor Thor…read morewas patient, understanding and informative about teaching the skills and experience of scuba diving for a beginner. My son was anxious and Thor's encouraging teaching style allowed my son to learn, feel confident and do well in this course. By the end of the class, my son had so much fun and I felt comfortable with course. I highly recommend taking classes with YAY Scuba diving. We will be back for the next level of scuba diving classes in the spring!

See Mike, Angel or Tim and thier other outstanding staff to help you any way they can. This marina definitely gets a five star rating from this family. Check it out, it will be on your list of top marinas to stop at ever year. Oh, did I mention the free ice for your cooler, what marina tops that? Joe farrell

The facility is great and the location is even better. It's a little weird at first, having to drive through a strip mall parking lot to get to the marina, but that feeling quickly goes away when you realize that you have everything you need within walking distance of your boat slip. A Walmart, McDonalds ,Farm Store Chicken, Dunkin Donuts, Rita's Ice, plenty of good restaurants , Advance Auto parts store, and a True Value. It couldn't get any better. The staff are incredible, the amenities are plentiful (free ice). Lets not forget the Bengies Drive-In. Bottom line, it's the place if you need a marina.

I wish I could remember the name of the captain and co-captain. I took entirely too long to write…read morethis review, sorry guys. Went for a sunset cruise for a friend's birthday on 6/29 and it was so nice. The ride is roughly 1.5hrs and you essentially loop the Potomac at Georgetown. It's BYOB, music and food so I'm just rating the views and service. There was a bathroom on board but I didn't use it. The captain was very kind and didn't bother us much outside of giving us the safety precautions and telling us to have a good time. I would definitely do this again.

The biggest complaint our party had was for the DJ that didn't cater to any of the passengers request. For a 2 hr ride he played a mix of jungle techno only. Everyone had to endure the music only he wanted to play and that no one was vibing to. We were a group of 14, basically the whole boat and not once did he play music to cater to their passengers to have great time from the beginning. No one danced! I was expecting a party on the boat! As we were 5 mins from docking back, he decided to switch it up a little and played 1 of the requested songs but still fused in jungle techno.. A good Dj reads the room.

Learning how to sail has been something I have always wanted to do. I realized that the best way…read morewas to take lessons. At first I was a little nervous, but Captain Frank's personality quickly put me at ease. I will say this - if you sail with Captain Frank you will become a competent and confident sailer. I sail single-handed all the time because of his lessons. Sailing is a great sport. Go to Gratitude and take some lessons, then go have some fun.

But that also means there aren't any lifeguards or the services that you would find here during the summer months. Swim at your own risk. We weren't there for swimming, though it was 80 degrees and there were several people splashing around and having a good time. There was also a church baptism going on, which made my heart smile. There seemed to be many family and church members there to witness and celebrate, and I love seeing that kind of support and community. I also like the idea of feeling that close to God that you would take that step, to hopefully strengthen that bond. Ariel, the little mermaid, was also there, randomly, having a photo shoot. We wandered a bit, for about an hour. In the back of the park there's a crumbling path that we all decided was some Indiana Jones sh!t. There's some caution tape there, but it's just flapping in the shrubbery, not doing much good. Most of the park is quite wheelchair accessible, though several of the paved paths are so steep that I didn't venture down them. I could have, if I had been determined. I like that option. The playground is looking a little worse for wear. I didn't get close enough to take any pictures because the gnats are serious right now. But there were also some lovely butterflies. Those are always nice to see, especially with their populations dwindling. We've been checking out a lot of local parks these days, and this one is pretty decent. Gunpowder Park: Hammerman Area off Ebenezer Road is still our top rated park, though. I'd put Rocky Point third, after North Point State Park in Dundalk (that jetty!). Would recommend
