Detailed itinerary

Step aboard for a relaxing private pontoon cruise through the scenic waterways of West Wildwood. Your journey begins at the historic West Wildwood Railroad Bridge, a landmark that once connected the island to the mainland and now serves as a reminder of the region’s rich past.
As we glide through the calm back bay marshlands, you’ll be surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty—a peaceful escape from the bustling boardwalks. Keep your eyes peeled for native shorebirds, including ospreys, herons, and egrets, as they soar above the water or rest in the tall grasses.
We’ll continue along the intracoastal waterways of South Jersey, where you’ll get a unique perspective of charming waterfront homes, passing boats, and hidden inlets. Whether you’re here to soak up the views, snap stunning photos, or just unwind with a drink in hand, this experience offers the perfect mix of nature, history, and relaxation on the water.
Sit back, sip, and cruise—your perfect day on the bay awaits!
