Black Eyed Susan Riverboat slated to bring tourism and business to the town of Snow Hill

SNOW HILL, Md. – The town has gained a major attraction, the famous Black Eyed Susan Riverboat. We’re told the boat will hold cruises along the Pocomoke River, in hopes of bringing more tourism and business to the area. “Our river is our ticket for that, we need to utilize this river go back to history just a little bit,” says Lisa Outten-Harrison, Council Member for the town of Snow Hill.

Town officials say, the boat comes just in time for summer. The recent purchase of the Black Eyed Susan Riverboat aims to bring a lot of business and revenue to the town. “I think we’re going to have people coming from all over that have never been to Snow Hill before and that’s going to help our businesses,” says Outten-Harrison.

After spending some time in Salisbury for upgrades and repairs, the boat is almost ready for a cruise. Soon people will be able to cruise along the Pocomoke River enjoying food, entertainment, happy hour cruises and even guest chef evenings. “So for us here in Snow Hill to be the hub of that sort of entertainment, I think is wonderful,” says Jim Washington, Operator and Caterer for the Black Eyed Susan.

Washington also tells us, the sooner things get ready to go, the sooner those behind the project believe the tourism will rise. “We hope that it is does exactly what our anticipation is, and we’re just so excited to bring people here and ride our beautiful Black Eyed Susan,” says Outten-Harrison.

Washington also adds, the cruises will be about two and a half hours long. Right now there’s no set date on when it will be open to the public, but officials say it could be close to four to six weeks before it’s fully operational.
