About This Tour
Unlike the larger ferry boats on our private tours using smaller boats we have the ability to do so much more and stay away from the more crowded areas. Captain Chris is local to the area, having grown up here only leaving the area during his time in the US Navy. Since returning home he has been a full time fishing guide in the area for nearly 20 years spending 200+ days each year on the water. Not only do you get to see sought after areas and sights but, you’ll have an opportunity to “see it like a local, with a local!” Great beach areas, wildlife, sea life, fishing, cast netting, clamming, set a crap pot, photograph your adventure and so many more possibilities.
