I went on this cruise with my husband about a week ago. We have lived in the area for several years but never really explored. We had a great time and found out many things about the area. The captains were extremely nice and informative. The wildlife that surrounds the area were pointed , including the ponies :) It was... More

I took my daughter and her boyfriend on the cruise and it was awesome! Had a great, relaxing time and the Captains were very nice. They even took pitures of the crew with the Lighthouse in the background. We got to see Ospreys also. I will definitely make it a point to go on the same cruise next time I... More

Took my wife and daughter out on the sunset cruise on 5/25/13. We had a great time. The owner and boat captain went way out of their way to make sure we were happy with their service. The tour went longer than I expected (a good thing) because they took their time showing us many local points of interest, explaining... More

My family did the sunset cruise. Very knowledgeable and informative about the history of the island, wildlife and surroundings. We saw ponies, pelicans, a bald eagle, herons and ospreys nesting up close as well as a beautiful sunset. This is a coast guard approved boat. We had a great time!

We took our daughter and 4 grandchildren on this trip and all had a delightful time. This is one of the few boats we found that was coast guard approved for more than 6 people. We were glad we found this trip. It was not a great day for seeing the horses - they were pretty far off, but the... More

My family and I went on a sunset cruise in July. The captain's partner was out of town, so the captain had to handle the whole trip himself. He did a wonderful job! He was very concerned about us seeing wildlife, and he went out of his way to make sure that we did. We saw a bald eagle, a... More

Our boat tour was canceled at the last minute while we were waiting at the dock. Worst of all, no one even called us to tell us we had to call them and see what the problem was. I guess everything happens for a reason though because the tour we went on with Daisey's was out of this world.

I would recommend this to any family looking for a fun way to learn and see Chincoteague Island. We had a total of 7 people in our group, 3 of which are children. The captain was very accommodating and went out of his way so we could find some dolphins. We also saw an osprey family in their nest, bald... More
