Seaside Sunrise Cruise

---

Peaceful. Serene. Beautiful. Depart from Oyster Harbor 45 minutes before sunrise and watch the sky change into a kaleidoscope of colors as we explore the “seaside” of the Eastern Shore of Virginia. We will wind our way through marsh creeks, enjoying everything nature has to offer. Bring a thermos of something warm to drink and definitely don’t forget your camera!

Please note that this is designed as a relaxing, peaceful cruise with the primary focus of enjoying the sunrise and the beauty of the Eastern Shore’s “seaside”. For those looking for an ecotour where Captain Pete talks more about the history of the region, animal and plant life, etc., we highly recommend the Barrier Islands Explorer EcoTour. 

This area has been designated an International Biosphere Reserve by the United Nations and a Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network Site of International Importance. Boat is the only way to see and experience this unique and beautiful area. 

• $379 for a private, 2-hour tour with a licensed captain. 
• This is a private tour. No other guests other than your group will be on the boat.
• Maximum 6 guests.
