Take the bay for a spin, just the two of you

A boat ride turns the channels, oyster farms and shoreline villages into one shared view.

A short crossing can make the bay feel enormous; a longer loop leaves room to watch the shoreline together. Check the departure point, route and duration, then confirm tide, weather and schedule with the operator before you go.

Make it a date

Leave a little room for the weather, the tide and whatever catches your attention along the way.
