Solomons, MD – Looking for a great way to experience the Patuxent River? The Calvert Marine Museum is offering two-hour public sails aboard the historic skipjack Dee of St. Mary’s departing from the museum dock. Sail with us on Saturdays, May 28, June 25, July 23 and August 20 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for children 8 – 12. No children under 8 permitted. Call 410-326-2042, ext. 41 to make a reservation.
The Dee of St. Mary’s, built in 1979, is one of the last skipjacks ever built on the Chesapeake Bay. The Dee was used originally in the commercial oyster fishery and then as a floating classroom starting in 1989 when the oyster population dwindled. The Museum took ownership in May 2013 and is pleased to offer public sails, educational opportunities, as well as private charters.
