Directions By Boat

Tilghman Island Draw Bridge opens on demand 24/7. Draw Bridge opens on signal “One long, one short,” or they monitor VHF Channel 13, or you can reach them by phone at (410) 886-2588.
When entering Knapp’s Narrows, remember “Red, Right, Returning.” It is considered “Returning” when entering from either the west or east side of the Narrows.
Entering from the Bay west side, honor the channel markers red to starboard; you will find Knapp’s Narrows Marina on your port side before the Draw Bridge.

Entering from the Bay west side
9/1/2026  UPDATE TO GETTING INTO THE NARROWS FROM THE BAY SIDE

Honor Green # 1 as usual then head directly for the Red Nun keeping Green #3 well off to your port side.

Hug the red nun.  

After the red nun continue straight into the entrance to the narrows keeping the Green #5 well off to your port side

Doing this will keep you on the south side of the channel in the deepest water  as all shoaling comes from the North side

 

Note: All shoaling of the Bay entrance to Knapps Narrows comes from
the north, so if you see the depth start to diminish quickly,
a small adjustment toward the south should keep you in good water

Here are some pictures:

Entering from the Choptank River east side

honor the channel markers red to starboard, pass under the bridge,
and Knapp’s Narrows Marina will be on your starboard side.
