Boat Tours Around Tangier
Take yourself or a group of up to six people out on the waters surrounding Tangier Island for a tour. While on this tour you will circle Tangier completely by boat, be given Tangier’s history, pull up some working crab-pots, and end with a trip to our crab house. At the crab house you will be able to see how blue-crabs shed their shell and become soft-shells in our salt water tanks! The trip usually lasts between 1-2 hours.
Sea-glass & Artifact Hunting
Take a short boat ride north of Tangier in search of Indian artifacts, bottles, sea-glass, buoys, & driftwood. While searching along the waters edge and culling through shells, finding objects that were lost centuries ago is a feeling that brings much excitement! This trip usually lasts about 2 hours and has a limit of up to 6 people. Small buckets, water, and bug spray will be given to you while you are out on this excursion.
Kayak Rentals
Rent a kayak with us and experience Tangier in a much more laid back way. While kayaking you will get to see plenty of the wildlife that call Tangier home and paddle through the shallow water grasses. We offer single and double seated kayaks and can be rented by the hour or by the day. A map of different trails you can kayak through and water will be supplied to you before your departure.
Steamed Crab Dinners
Come out to our crab house out on the water and enjoy a meal of freshly caught steamed blue-crabs. Steamed by the dozen, 1/2 or whole bushels, you will be able to pick out what size crabs you would like straight from our saltwater tanks! These dinners are offered to visitors who are staying overnight on Tangier at our Inn or one of the various Air B&Bs.
Crab-House Tours
Take a tour of our working crab-house where we shed and process our soft-shell crabs! At the crab-house you be able to learn about the blue-crabs molting process.
