This was our first visit to Chincoteague. We have been on many enjoyable boat tours on vacations to other destinations, but this was without a question the best tour experience we have ever had. This was a real adventure and not just a relaxing tour. Captain Barry really made this an exciting event. We went clamming and crabbing. In fact... more

Captain Barry offers a highly entertaining and educational experience complete with amusing theme music. We had four adults and two kids (13 and 8) on a private, somewhat wacky pontoon boat tour. He was good at engaging both kids and adults to fully experience the different ecosystems around the island using all five senses. Who doesn't like walking through the... more

We took our first camping trip this summer and decided to stay for a couple of nights in Chincoteague. We saw a review on Trip Advisor and decided to book a trip with Captain Barry. Our hotel, the Refuge Inn (also a great choice!) confirmed that we had booked a good tour. We went on the afternoon tour with our... more

Captain Barry's motto is definitely "no worries" and he was still delighted to take out just the two of us for a wonderfully relaxing (and educational) two hours.

We... more

We took the Sea Life Expedition tour with Capt. Barry! Capt. Barry filled our 3 boys with so much excitement and fun. He's full of information and matched our boys energy level!

This was the highlight of our trip! It was our first trip to Chincoteague and not our last...AND not the last time cruising with Capt'n Barry! Our children (4 and 7) LOVED the Sea Life Expedition!

My wife and I had the 4 hour tour with Captain Barry today. It was definitely a memorable day... from clamming, crabbing, bird watching, and a personal tour of the island, it was wonderful. more
