Chesapeake Bay Buyboat Reunion 2018

The Chesapeake Bay Buyboats, historic decked freight boats built during the 1900s will begin their 2018 Reunion Tour on the weekend of August 3 through 5 in Urbanna, Virginia. Approximately 10 to 15 of the large traditional freight and seafood industry vessels will travel the southern Chesapeake Bay, also visiting Deltaville on August 6-7, Hampton on August 8-9, and ending their tour at Whitehouse Cove Marina in Poquoson the weekend of August 10-12. They will be open to the public in Urbanna, Hampton, and Poquoson. Many local watermen worked these beautiful vessels and we would like to give them and their descendants the opportunity to visit them one more time.

The boats will arrive in Urbanna on midday Friday. The boats will be open to the public at the Urbanna Town Marina from 10-4 on Saturday, August 4, and from 11-3 on Sunday, August 5. They will depart on Monday morning.
