🌴 Stay Local, Cruise Local, Love Local! ⚓
At Big Kahuna Cruises, we believe that life’s better when you keep it local — and we’re proud to be part of a vibrant, creative, and downright awesome community here in Southern Maryland. Supporting local businesses isn’t just something we talk about, it’s something we live by. From the spirits we pour to the snacks we snack and the gear we rock, we’re all about teaming up with our neighbors to bring you the best local flavors, finds, and experiences.
We know that your cruise day doesn’t have to start and end at the dock — why not turn your Big Kahuna adventure into a whole weekend escape? We’ve connected with some of our favorite local businesses to help you make the most of your visit. Need a cozy place to stay after your sunset cruise? We’ve got a few charming inns and waterfront rentals to recommend. Looking for a bite to eat before you hop aboard? We’ll point you to our go-to spots for the best snacks and food. Want to keep the fun rolling after you dock? There’s plenty of live music, shops, and waterfront bars nearby to check out.
We’re all about locals supporting locals — because when small businesses lift each other up, the whole community wins. So whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned cruiser, let us help you discover the hidden gems and hometown favorites that make our little corner of Maryland so special.
