From river runs to the auction block: WTOP’s Alan Etter details a move by St. Mary’s County to sell its retired water taxi.
St. Mary’s County is auctioning off its longtime water taxi after bringing online a new, larger vessel that’s compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The boat — a 1995 Old Port 25-foot fiberglass vessel — was taken out of service earlier this month after spending the last 30 years ferrying visitors to Maryland’s St. Clement’s Island State Park.
Currently winterized in a covered slip, the boat has the capacity to seat 22 people, with any future routes subject to Coast Guard approval.
Bidding, which started at $5,000, closes Monday at 8 p.m.
And, just a heads up: the buyer is responsible for removing the boat from the marina — as well as any associated fees.
