St. Michaels, MD Water Taxi
Need a ride from your anchored vessel to shore?
Determine your current location (see the map below).
Hail the Harbor Shuttle on VHF 71 or 410.819.9606.
Tell the captain where your vessel is located in the harbor, how many people you have on board, and what your vessel looks like. Helpful information for the captain is if your vessel is power or sail, the color of your hull, vessel name, the color of your canvas, as well as anything that stands out on your vessel (flags, colors, size, markings, etc. Pro tip: If you will be returning to your vessel at night, turn on lights so it is easier to spot your boat. Better yet, use different colored lights to distinguish your vessel from others. There can be over a hundred boats in the anchorage at times.
Continue to monitor VHF 71.
Wave at the Harbor Shuttle when you see them approaching.
Wait for the captain of the Harbor Shuttle to give you directions on how to safely board the shuttle.
Typically, the shuttle will drop off passengers at Blu Miles Restaurant (formerly the Crab and Steak), but let your captain know if you would like to be dropped off elsewhere.
The water taxi accepts cash or Credit/Debit Card and is $5 per person each way.
Before leaving the water taxi, discuss with the captain when and where you would like to be picked up. Make sure you have your handheld VHF or our cell phone number handy. 410.819.9606
