Watermark® is proud to celebrate 50 years of unforgettable journeys. From 1972 to 2022, Watermark has immersed people in the history, culture, and fun of the Chesapeake Bay area more completely than any tour or charter company and hopes to do so for another 50 years!
Watermark, originally Chesapeake Marine Tours, was founded by C. Edward Hartman II. An attorney by trade, Hartman had a love of boating and a desire to invest in the local community. Chesapeake Marine Tours began in 1972 by offering a single sightseeing cruise to St. Michaels. That Day on the Bay cruise is still offered today. The company’s offerings expanded quickly, and the fleet inevitably grew, first in 1973, with the addition of the Annapolis landmark, Harbor Queen. In the 1980s, Watermark began providing Water Taxi service in the Annapolis Harbor.
