The highlight of our anniversary weekend to Chincoteaque was our morning cruise with Daisey Dockside Cruise. Tom Daisey, Captain and his first mate Baily (his dog) make you feel right at home. Tom is 8th generation native to Chincoteaque and knows all the great spots around Assateaque Island. The cruise was very relaxing. Tom's points out all the birds, took... more

My family, consisting of my husband, son, mom, dad and me, went on a scenic nature tour Labor Day weekend. We left at around 9:30 and headed out towards the ocean. We were in search for dolphin. We saw one or two as well as a recent "shipwreck" (a large commercial fishing boat had run aground in the shallows). Since... more

The Daisey crew was professional, personable & knowledgeable... the scenic cruise was the highlight of the trip. My son was hesitant about going on the boat, crew made him comfortable, forget his fears & even 'drive' the boat! Great doggie on board too. Sights were beautiful! This cruise would appeal to a broad range of people, from families, to couples,... more

My husband and I are in our seventies and have been coming to Chincoteague for many years, but we have never taken a cruise. This time, we came down by ourselves and were surprised with a cruise, courtesy of the kids. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Capt. Tom was so pleasant and informative and eager to please, and Bailey was a... more

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our morning cruise with Captain Tom. Not only did we see dolphins, a bald eagle and a giant sea turtle, we also got to see several ponies at the water's edge, along with "Surfer Dude" and his band of mares. Also, Captain Tom brought along his "First Mate", Bailey, his sweet little dog, who... more

Had a great time. Dan took the time to be sure we all saw what we wanted to see. We saw dophins, Great Blue Herons, and the wild ponies. He gave us ample time to photograph and just take in the sights. I will definitely be a repeat visitor when I go back to the island. more

We are repeat vacationers on this most beautiful place on earth, Chincoteague Island, VA. This Scenic Cruise Tour was perhaps one of the most delightful experiences my wife and I have had on this island. We have chartered other tours, as well, and this was by far the most rewarding! Thank you Chincoteague native son, "Ted", and thank you midwesterners... more

We are experienced travelers and I would rate this as one of the best side trips we have ever taken. The equipment was in fine shape and our host, Captain Tom was a native of Chincoteague and very knowledgeable about the history and wildlife of the area. We saw eagles, grazing ponies and numerous dolphin ( With the assistance of... more

We took our 5 year old twins out on a boat for the first time and had such a wonderful experience. Although we have been coming to Chincoteague for quite sometime, Captain Lew who is a local showed us things that we never knew about. Very informative, relaxing, and enjoyable. Would highly recommend them and will definitely come back and... more
