The United States Naval Academy's Yard sits along the Severn River in the heart of Annapolis, and its calendar of Induction Day, Commissioning Week, parents weekend and chapel weddings brings a steady wave of family and visitor transportation to the historic district surrounding it. DCA Limos handles all of it, with chauffeurs experienced in the Academy's visitor-gate and base-access procedures and the parking restrictions that come with every major Academy event.

Annapolis's historic district floods with visitors during Commissioning Week and the Herndon Monument climb each spring, and our chauffeurs plan drop-off points that account for the street closures those events bring rather than assuming normal traffic patterns.
Induction Day each summer brings thousands of family members to drop off incoming midshipmen, with specific gates and time windows the Academy assigns in advance — our chauffeurs plan the pickup and drop-off around those assigned windows rather than a generic arrival time. Parents weekend and Commissioning Week in late May draw similarly dense crowds, with the Herndon Monument climb and graduation ceremony each closing streets around the Yard.
Because hotel availability in Annapolis tightens dramatically during these weeks, many families split their stay between Annapolis and towns further out, and we handle the longer transfers between them as readily as a short trip within the historic district.
A USNA chapel wedding requires base-access coordination for every vehicle in the wedding party, and our chauffeurs are familiar with the credential and vehicle information the Academy requires in advance of the date. The traditional sabre arch exit, with classmates crossing swords as the couple leaves the chapel, means staging the vehicle close enough that the walk to the car is short.
See our dedicated Annapolis wedding limo service page for the full detail on timing a chapel wedding around Annapolis's drawbridges.
Tell us which event you are attending, whether you have an assigned gate or time window, and your group size, and we will confirm vehicles and a realistic timeline that accounts for the Academy's access procedures and the historic district's traffic.
