Detailed itinerary

1

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!

Your Perfect Day on the Bay Starts Here

Your adventure begins and ends at Bayview Marina, a laid-back waterfront spot where you can soak in the coastal vibes before or after your cruise. On weekends, grab a bite from Seagulls Breakfast Sammy, a local favorite food truck serving up delicious breakfast sandwiches.

Once on board, we’ll set off through the historic West Wildwood Railroad Bridge and into the serene back bay marshlands, where you’ll spot ospreys, herons, and other local wildlife. As we cruise the intracoastal waterways, you’ll pass charming waterfront homes, hidden inlets, and scenic views only accessible by boat.

Looking to sip a cocktail with a view? Just ask your captain to stop at The Surfing Pig, a boat-friendly bar with dockside drinks. Want to elevate your experience? Contact us to arrange catering or a private brunch with a chef onboard.
