Overview

We get views of the wildlife of the salt marsh that people almost never have an opportunity to see. We sail daily from April until October so we always know where we are likely to see the most interesting birds and with 25 years of experience running these tours we know where we are likely to have the best trip. Our route varies daily depending on conditions.

Itinerary

Daily from April through October Cruising through the coastal Salt Marsh behind Cape May and Wildwood viewing the birds and marine life that live there. We get up close to many different species of birds with views that people rarely get to see of some of the secretive birds of the wetlands. Being out in the wetlands every day for six months gives us a unique ability to find and closely visit with many different species of birds. cruises on Saturday Sunday and Monday mornings are sponsored by the Cape May Bird Observatory and have a higher price but are also either 2 1/2 or 3 hours depending on the season.

    We had a great cruise. Captain Bob was a master at navigating the bay waters. He and Tom, the naturalist onboard, were friendly and knowledgeable about the area and the many species of birds we encountered.

    Bob, the Captain and Vince, the naturalist were both great! Vince has a deep knowledge base of the local birds. We saw many species and had a wonderful time! The boat is closed in for rainy or cold weather and the bathroom on board is nice. They provide binoculars for those without. Would definitely go again!

    One of the best birding experience I have had EVER! Captain Bob, and Vince, our Naturalist are superb at finding birds in the waters around Cape May, and navigating the boat so we had great veiws. They are extremely personable as well. I added 9 birds to my life list, and got some amazing photos too. I plan to cruise on the Osprey again!
