Route Map/ Tour Description

People often ask us, "Where do you go"?

Capt. Dan and his father (Capt. Ray) created this unique route back in 2006, and it really does go everywhere. Since 2009 we've been keeping a map on the boat as a reference for the spatially oriented.

The wild ponies are a mane attraction on all our trips. We see and talk about them on almost every tour. Our "Around the Island Tour" travels over 25 miles as we circumnavigate the island of Chincoteague, and view over 21 miles of Assateague coastline. We search over 7 miles of pony coastline, in both the southern and northern herd areas.

Red and Yellow lines are pony viewing territory. Dolphin can be seen anywhere, but 50% of our sightings happen on the blue line. #8 is the lighthouse, #7 is the pony swim lane.

In the summer months, Capt. Doug does a "dolphin tour" where he spends the whole trip searching the inlet, at the edge of the ocean for dolphin. His success rate is over 90% out there, and sometimes finds pods of more than 100 dolphin.

Your captain may modify your route to avoid splash/spray or improve creature sightings as necessary.
