Waterfront Guide 25th Edition

WELCOME FROM
Welcome to the 25th Anniversary Edition
of MTABC's annual Waterfront Guide. For
any print publication — national, regional
or special interest — 25 years of publishing
is a major accomplishment. Thank you to
everyone who has made this possible.
It's not just the Guide that's celebrating a
milestone in business. This year, Weaver’s
Marine Service hits the 75 year mark,
Maryland Marina is at 74 years and Bill’s
Boat Basin reaches 70 years. All longstanding
MTABC members, these
businesses are still owned and operated by members of the original founding family.
Happy Anniversary to each of you!
Changes in the area are everywhere: new and expanded restaurants, local and national
breweries, recreational spots like an indoor gun range, a large gym and the ubiquitous
tiki bars.
Eastern Baltimore County has over 205 miles of easily accessible waterfront, from the
scenic shorelines of Marshy Point to the quiet coves of Bear Creek. Its calm, peaceful
countryside is easily accessed from major highways - less time in travel and more time
on the boat! Plenty of free parking is available at all the facilities. Deep uncrowded
waters are fabulous for swimming, sailing, wake boarding, waterskiing, kayaking,
paddle boarding, cruising, fishing or just relaxing with no jellyfish to bother you.
The Chesapeake Bay's finest, most affordable marine facilities offer a wide range of boat
slips, marine services, and new or pre-owned boat sales, as well as stand-up paddle
board, kayak, windsurfer and sailboat rentals, all here in Eastern Baltimore County.
Since MTABC's formation in 1988, our mission has been to improve the marine
environment for the boaters and the residents of Eastern Baltimore County by working
with community organizations and government agencies. Our mutual goal is a
healthy Chesapeake Bay.
Check out our calendar of events for information on the Fourth of July Fireworks,
Lighted Boat Parade, and many other local festivities.
On behalf of all our members, old and new, I invite you to dine at one of our many
delicious restaurants, enjoy special events and explore the exceptional beauty of the
Eastern Baltimore County Waterfront- the HIDDEN GEM of the Chesapeake Bay.
I wish you, your family and friends another safe, exciting and fun filled
boating season.
Brian Keith Schneider, President
