Father’s Day on the Bay to St. Michaels
Watermark Journey is known for offering a range of regularly occurring and special event sightseeing cruises in Annapolis and Baltimore. One of their most popular outings in Annapolis is their ongoing Day on the Bay to St. Michaels cruises. These are known to take guests across the Chesapeake Bay to scenic, historic St. Michaels all while enjoying complimentary non-alcoholic beverages along the way. Then guests spend three hours touring the town with admission to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum included as part of the package.
For Father’s Day, this original experience will be slightly tweaked to cater more exclusively to Dad. That’s because the Antique & Classic Boat Festival and Coastal Arts Fair will be taking place on Father’s Day as well. As a result, both the regularly offered Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum general visit and the Antique & Classic Boat Festival and Coastal Arts Fair admission will be included as part of the package. Furthermore, Dad gets to enjoy free beer.
Departure for the cruise will be at 10 a.m. tomorrow from Annapolis City Dock, 1 Dock Street, Annapolis MD, 21401. Visit the website link to learn more.
