When we arranged a boat trip to see the ponies we never expected such a wonderful experience. Captain Carlton and his family were wonderful. We were able to see the ponies at his farm and take a great boat trip with his friend Capt Bob Fears, who was very interesting and informative. Quality people, quality trip, highlight of our vacation.... More

Went on a 2 hour boat tour with Captain Bob Fears and met Captain Carlton Leonard & his family. Got a tour of the farm with their herd of wild Chincotegue ponies; one such pony had died in childbirth and left behind the most adorable little male foal. He doesn't yet have a name but I vote for Thursday or... More

We recently took a 2 hour boat cruise from Chincoteague Island with Island Cruises and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. Captain Carlton and Captain Bob were great fun and also very knowledgeable about the local area, the wildlife and the history surrounding the islands. We saw the famous wild ponies and scores of interesting birds and we can highly... More

Well worth it. A great way to spend the day at Chincoteague. The Captain was very knowledgeable and informative. The tour was fun. We will recommend it to our friends, and we shall return. Best to take a jacket, camera(s) and sunglasses. More

We were in town on our honeymoon, and trying to find things to do with our puppy. Thankfully we found Captain Carlton and his shuttle out to the Sandbar in Tom's Cove. We were in town after the season, so the transportation was less regular than the hourly in-season schedule. But it did not matter - we had the opportunity... More

My husband called and made reservations with the Captain this morning. We arrived at the harbor and left the dock on time. The weather was wonderful today. We were fortunate to be the only customers that Captain Carlton had on his 2pm nature tour today. It was 2.5 hours of fabulous scenery and wonderful stories from the captain. He knows... More

My sister and I visited Chincoteague for the first time this June. As many times as we have been to the beach in Delaware we just never ventured to this Island. I wanted to see the ponies and possibly an Eagle. We had Captain (the grandaughter of the family) and she was absolutely the best. It was just the three... More
