Bill's Yacht Basin is 70 Years Old
In the 1950’s, Miller’s Island was a favorite destination for
Baltimore’s fashionable citizens to take a break from city life
and play on the Chesapeake. One of the most popular
activities was to rent a rowboat from "Mr. Bill"! Each of his
boats were hand-made, wooden works of art designed and
built by Mr. Bill. While the rowboat rentals are gone, some of
Bill Poleski’s beautiful wooden boats are preserved around
Row Boat Willie’s Dock Bar! Mr. Bill is no longer around, but
Row Boat Willie’s and Bill’s Yacht Basin are still a favorite on
ever popular Miller’s Island. The facility is currently owned
and managed by his sons, Mike and Rob Poleski, who hope to
keep it in the family for another 70 years. For more
