Pumpout Boat

The Harbormaster’s Office operates the Pumpout Boat.  This summer the boat is in service 3 days a week July 1st through the middle of November: Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 9 am until 3:30 pm. From mid November until late March, the vessel operates only on Saturday, weather permitting. 

To schedule a pump out, call out on VHF 17 during service hours and provide your location, vessel name, approximate amount of gallons to be pumped off, and your vessel will be placed in the queue. The charge is $5 per tank, up to 50 gallons. Anything beyond that is an additional $1 per tank for every 10 gallons.

Operations

The vessel can be contacted on VHF 17 and via mobile at 410-320-6852. Check this page later for possible changes in the schedule. It is best to contact the pump out boat as early as possible during the service day. The boat begins service in Spa Creek, heads to Weems Creek, services Back Creek afternoon, and then returns to Spa Creek for the end of the service day.

Additional Pumpout Stations

Be advised that it is illegal to discharge untreated waste effluent into Annapolis City Waters. Aside from our popular pumpout service, boaters may also utilize subsidized pumpout stations located at private marinas in Annapolis area waters.
