Watermen Heritage Tours honors the watermen of the Chesapeake Bay, who have played an essential role in the history, culture, and economy of the region and have become an endangered Maryland icon. Offering a rare glimpse into their way of life, Watermen Heritage Tours provides authentic and entertaining experiences that celebrate and preserve a rich Chesapeake Bay tradition and give visitors a view of the bay from the perspective of the people who live and work on the water. Commercial fishermen, crabbers, and oystermen have been trained as guides who take visitors out on their vessels to give an inside look at aquafarming, crab shedding, and oyster tonging as it was done in the old day. Customized trips also include beautiful scenery, such as think lighthouses and nature preserves along the way.
