Experience the best of the Chesapeake from this magical 47' bay-built boat based on Kent Island, Maryland — the thrill of bay fishing, the leisure of a summer cruise, and the best of what the Bay has to offer. And in this 2024 season, there’s even more to celebrate; the Breezin’ Thru is celebrating her 75th anniversary. Happy Birthday, old girl.

Tilghman Hemsley Fine Arts

Tilghman Hemsley, captain of the Breezin’ Thru, is just as gifted an artist as he is a fisherman and storyteller. His artwork is informed by his experiences on the Chesapeake Bay, his keen appreciation for maritime history and culture, and his insights into the people and places he captures on canvas.
