We booked a tour of Chincoteague and Assateague Islands with Captain Spider based on the recommendation of our hotel desk clerk. Wow, he was right on the mark! Captain Spider is an extremely knowledgeable guide and left us with a memory of a lifetime. We traveled over two hours into coves and inlets and floated right up close to wild ponies on the shore. We saw osprey, bald eagles, egrets, loons, and numerous other water birds. Traveling past the famous oyster and clam beds was educational. Captain Spider positioned his boat perfectly and took a picture of my wife and I with the Assateague Lighthouse in the background. His stories and history of the island are most informative. He uses his personal photo album to further explain the history. Most importantly, Captain Spider will not go out if there are any safety concerns or weather issues. Thank you Spider for a very enjoyable outing.

25yrs experience is great. Spider takes you where others do not. Remember this is a nature exploration so no 2 trips are alike. Personal treatment and great explanation of the area. Definatelly worth going with him.

Previous TA reviews of Captain Spider encouraged us to make contact with Captain Spider and book a sunset trip.
The day before we arrived he made contact to tell us that he had a problem with his main boat, but as there were only two of us booked for the trip, he could take us out in his own personal boat.

He was apologetic about the change, but in fact we had the time of our lives and enjoyed every minute.
He is an interesting, well informed and entertaining guy who told us much about the history of Chincoteague and about the current economy and way of life. He showed us around the island – it’s good to see everything from the water – and took us out to get a great view of the Assateague lighthouse and then on out into the bay to see the sun setting. It was a perfect evening in great company.

Thank you Captain Spider.
