Captain Larry Laird, Smith Island

This is Captain Larry Laird of the Captain Jason II passenger ferry boat. Capt. Larry always has a smile a face. I enjoy seeing him at the Crisfield docks in the mornings.

Capt. Larry lives on Tylerton. Each morning, he leaves Tylerton and heads to the Crisfield city dock where he picks up passengers, supplies, and packages.

The Captain Jason II runs to both Tylerton and Ewell on Smith Island. All ferries leave at 12:30 PM and 5:00 PM from the Crisfield city dock.

The Captain Jason II is also available for special charters, including sunset cruises.

So head down to Crisfield, do a little fishing or boating, dining and shopping, and hop a boat to an island. Arrgghh!

Lessons on the Chesapeake

It is not uncommon to find students boarding boats from several states to go island hopping, and to learn about life on the bay. I captured these students from Nysmith School for the Gifted, out of Herndon, Virginia, boarding the Bay Eagle at Somers Cove Marina.



Below is Captain Larry Laird, Jr. of the Bay Eagle. We have a lot of great captains in Crisfield, and I will be highlighting them all in time.
