History

Established in 2014.

One cold winter day Tom and Steve were driving up from Grasonville, MD and received a call about a particular dinner cruise vessel located in Lewes, DE. After pulling over to the side of the road and viewing the pictures of the vessel on the phone, we immediately called the owner to schedule a meeting. At that moment we both said «That boat is perfect»! The next day Steve went to Lewes to look at the boat, and once arriving to see the boat, immediately called Tom and told him that M/​V Bay Breeze now has a boat to operate with. That day is when Chesapeake City Ferry Service LLC acquired it’s first boat «M/​V Bay Breeze».
