The captain took us out into the marsh, where we got to troll for fish and learn about the local wildlife and ecosystem. The highlight for our kids was getting to touch and interact with the sea creatures that were caught--they were fascinated the entire trip. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and great with children, making it both fun and educational. If you're looking for something different from the beach that's entertaining for kids and adults alike, I highly recommend the Skimmer Salt Water Safari!

The crew, Matt, Melissa, and Lenny, couldn't have been more accommodating. Melissa, the captain as well as the naturalist on board, was extremely knowledgeable and articulate in her presentation of marine life in the area. The children were engaged and had a wonderful time, especially when they got to touch a horseshoe crab!! We saw lots of dolphins and learned a lot about Cape May sites and history. We had a wonderful day and I would recommend this trip for all!!

Our first sighting were a bunch of dolphin and they gave us a great show. Then, later in the cruise, we were lucky enough to see a juvenile humpback whale. He waved with his tail multiple times. We saw the air coming out of the blow hole. He even fully breached, but it was so fast, no one in our party had their cameras ready. On the way back to the dock, we saw a ton of dolphin forming a bait ball. Really cool trip. The naturalists were so friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely do this again! Super time. PS I have a video of the whale, but was not successful in attaching. I will keep trying.

This is NOT deep sea fishing -- and you will probably NOT take whatever you catch because it will be too small. But if trawling the 12 foot bay with 2 baited hooks on a basic rod/reel rig with the occasional hit interests you -- this charter could be your thing. The Groupon price point is quite reasonable. Captain Tony is an engaging and hospitable host and his new pontoon style boat is steady and accommodates a dozen plus very comfortably. That's about the complement we had on our morning excursion and this is the first year he is running this boat in Cape May. Top Tip: Great for kids who have never fished before -- they will land something -- we all did -- mostly baby sea bass and mud sharks. The crew is helpful and the experience pleasant.

The captain and mate were very helpful, explained how to fish, and knew a lot about the wildlife. The tour can hold 49 and there was 14 on the boat so there was plenty of personal interaction. One group caught 2 Flounders, another group caught a shark, and my group caught 2 crab and a Sea Robin. The day before, the captain told us they caught a 24 inch Flounder! Overall, this was a 5 Star trip. What I liked: Crew good with kids Crew always helping someone Reasonable price Dropped a crab trap on the way out (kids got to pick the spot) What I did not like: Sea bugs all over (crew offered big spray which helped) Catch more fish

We have done the 6-8pm birding boat tour twice now (each time we've visited Cape May in the past…read morefew years) and have loved it each time. Both times we did the 6-8pm slot. Our kids were 3.5 the first time and then 5.5 and almost 2 years old the second time. They both loved it. The naturalist was so sweet with them and showed them different sea creatures from the tank before the tour even started. And then during the tour she showed and taught them about various wildlife artifacts. When our 2 year old started to get a little restless at the end, she had sea life coloring books and crayons for him to use. She and Captain Bob are clearly both so knowledgeable about the birds, habitats and the rest of the wildlife around. Would definitely recommend this tour and will definitely be doing it again when come back next time!

And I've done those and they are worth the money. This was a well run activity, professional. I knew it was an hour and a half "trip" but it is actually just 20 minutes riding the bike rails in One Direction and then you turn around and do the same thing back for 20 minutes. There's a few stops where teenagers give a very memorized explanation about one of the parks you stop at (which you can drive to and walk around for free). If $100 is a drop in the bucket for you then you should do this.
