Crew underway on the Chesapeake

The Boat & Crew

About Jadran III

Sailors, Family & Friends

Based in Great Falls, Virginia, we've been sailing the Chesapeake Bay for years — with a crew that includes family, friends, and our four-legged first mate who takes her duties very seriously.

Whether it's a quick afternoon sail out of Herrington Harbour, an overnight to Annapolis, or exploring the Eastern Shore, Jadran III is always ready for an adventure.
