“It was beautiful to view Annapolis, USNA and the Severn river from the water I went solo and unexpectedly met the nicest local couple on the tour.”

From the reviews

Watermark Sunset Cruise on the Harbor Queen was a delight. Booking was easy online and there was ample indoor and outdoor seating depending on your preference and the weather.

What a fantastic way to experience Annapolis! The Lighthouse Cruise was the perfect mix of relaxation, local history, and beautiful Chesapeake Bay scenery. Seeing the Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse from the water was absolutely worth the trip—it's an iconic piece of Maryland history, and the views were incredible.

★★★★★ — James, Jun 2026

We spent our anniversary in Annapolis and did the 40 minute cruise around the harbor. It was lovely and the tour was informative. The crew was very nice and even offered to take our picture. It was a beautiful day and happy we spent some of the day out on the water. Highly recommend the Watermark Cruise.

Getting married at Watermark Tours, Charters, Cruises

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
