Premium 12-Hour Bay & River Cruise Adventure

Unforgettable 12-Hour Bay and River Cruise

Ready for a full day of fun on the water? Our 12-hour private cruise takes you on a laid-back journey through some of New Jersey's most beautiful coastal spots. We're talking Barnegat Bay, winding rivers, and maybe even a glimpse of the Atlantic. It's perfect for kicking back with family and friends or celebrating something special. No rush, no schedule - just you, your crew, and miles of scenic shoreline.

Your Day on the Water

We'll start bright and early, loading up the boat with everything you need for a full day out. As we leave the dock, you'll feel that fresh sea breeze hit your face - there's nothing like it. We'll cruise at a relaxed pace, giving you plenty of time to soak in the views and maybe spot some wildlife. Dolphins love to play in our wake, and if we're lucky, we might even see a whale breach in the distance.

One of our favorite stops is Tices Shoal. It's this gorgeous sandy area where the water's crystal clear and perfect for swimming. We'll drop anchor so you can take a dip, do some paddleboarding, or just lounge on the boat. As the day goes on, we can explore hidden coves, cruise past historic lighthouses, or find a quiet spot to watch the sunset. And to cap it all off? We'll find the perfect spot to watch a fireworks show light up the night sky.

Cruise Your Way

This isn't your typical tour boat experience. We're all about tailoring the day to what you want. Like fishing? We can stop at some local hotspots. Want to learn about the area's history? I've got plenty of stories to share. Feeling hungry? We can even do a "dock and dine" stop at one of the awesome waterfront restaurants along our route.

The boat's all yours for the day, so you set the pace. Want to spend hours relaxing at a sandbar? No problem. Prefer to cover more ground and see different areas? We can do that too. It's your day, your way - I'm just here to make sure it's safe and fun.

What to Bring Aboard

Since we'll be out all day, you'll want to pack smart. Bring plenty of sunscreen, hats, and maybe a light jacket for when the evening cools down. Don't forget your swimsuits and towels if you want to take a dip. We've got coolers on board for your food and drinks, so feel free to pack a picnic or snacks for the day. Cameras are a must - you'll want to capture those sunset views and dolphin sightings. And if you're into fishing, bring your gear. Even if you've never cast a line before, I'm always happy to show you the basics.

Why Folks Love This Trip

There's something special about spending a full day on the water. It's a chance to really disconnect and unwind. No cell service, no emails - just good company and great views. Families love how the kids stay entertained all day, whether it's spotting wildlife, swimming, or helping "captain" the boat. For groups of friends, it's the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. And for anyone celebrating a special occasion? Well, popping a bottle of champagne as the sun sets over the bay is pretty hard to beat.

Local Wildlife Spotlight

One of the coolest parts of cruising these waters is all the marine life we get to see. Bottlenose dolphins are regulars around here, especially in the warmer months. They're curious creatures and often swim right up to the boat. Keep an eye out for their dorsal fins breaking the surface - sometimes we'll see whole pods playing and jumping.

If we're really lucky, we might spot some of the whales that pass through these waters. Humpbacks and fin whales are the most common, usually seen further out towards the ocean. They're massive but surprisingly graceful - seeing one breach is something you'll never forget.

For bird lovers, we've got plenty to see too. Ospreys build their nests all along the shore, and you'll often see them diving for fish. Keep an eye out for elegant great blue herons wading in the shallows, and watch the skies for bald eagles - they're making a comeback in the area.
