About Watermark Tours. Charters. Cruises.
Watermark, originally Chesapeake Marine Tours, began by offering a single sightseeing cruise to St. Michael’s aboard Annapolitan in 1972. The company quickly expanded its scope of operations to include its iconic harbor tours, water taxi service and luxury yacht charters. The company merged in 2004 with Three Century Tours creating Watermark to immerse people in the history, culture and fun of the Annapolis area more completely than any tour or charter company – by land and by water.
