We took a sunset cruise with Spider to get some nature photos. We had a great time. He only takes out a maximum of 6 people, so he can cater to your needs. It was the best thing we did on the island.

My wife and I arrived at the dock and were promptly greeted by Captain Spider. We arrived a little early and he offered to take us out prior to our scheduled time at 6pm.

Capt. Spider is professional, helpful, prompt, and proactive. Great personality!!! (: He made our special day exactly what we had hoped for! ~Tom & Lisa

We visited Chincoteague, VA in July and found Spider's Explorer boat tour to be a wonderful experience! We took the sunset tour, which was beautiful. Spider found several ponies, osprey, pelicans, and a bald eagle! He knew the island history well and offered suggestions of attractions to visit. He was very good at finding the perfect spot for pictures. There... More
