Crab and cruise was totally awesome. Greg from the crab place was an excellent host as well as all the staff who attended to our every need. Fresh oysters shucked right on deck. The cruise started eighth at sunset and ended in the moonlight. This is a bucket list spot if you haven’t ever done it. Only thing on the boat I wasn’t digging is the vip top deck didn’t have ac like the lower deck and the lower deck Dj was spinning better records but the dj upstairs was still good as well. Had a great time we will be back.

To the ticket taker, the two female crew members (never saw any other crew members so if you were there this applies to you also) and the captain you were all great and made the trip worth it due to you professionalism and friendliness. Capt./Coxswain thanks for making the ride as smooth as you could on 7/17/20. The bay was not being very forgiving that day! Tips: their website states that you can bring your own bike if they have the room. Bring your own snacks and drinks.

I’ve lived in Virginia for years and can’t believe I’ve never done this before! Such a lovely day. The ferry itself was clean and comfortable with AC in the cabin and plenty of shaded seats. The crew was incredibly friendly and the views are just stunning! There’s a vending machine for cold drinks aboard (cash only), though many others brought their own coolers which you can leave on the ferry while exploring the island, as you return on the same boat. You’ll have around 3 hours to explore the island, which was enough time for me on foot.
The islanders are friendly and welcoming. I walked
