“We are extremely pleased to reopen the water taxi for a full season of cruising to the island,” said Karen Stone, Manager of the St. Mary’s County Museum Division. “Being one of our most popular attractions for locals and out of town visitors alike, the water taxi allows guests the opportunity to enjoy one of St. Mary’s County’s best assets – our beautiful waters!”
