We had the absolute best day renting the deck boat from Little Bay Marine! From the very first…read moremoment we met Donna and Ronnie, they felt like family we have known for years. They were so attentive to our two boys, and the boat is pristine and so much fun on the water. If you're wanting to fish, cruise, lounge or sight see - or better yet, all of the above, the deck boat is a great option, especially for families or for little ones who might be a little timid on a boat. It was my son's birthday, and when we returned with the boat, Donna was waiting and singing him happy birthday. They were also so genuinely kind and excited when my son told them about his 50 pound black drum catch on his last cast. He especially will remember our day on the water forever. Don't hesitate to rent here, you'll have the best time!

Mike D, more than likely, snubbed his "1%'r" nose at the place because it is rustic and not a high-end overpriced company. It sounds as though he couldn't bare to go into the water and stayed in the rustic place throughout the day while his friends left him. After all, this is just a place for you to be picked up or launched from not spend the night. I would recommend this place so long as you have an open mind and not a bigoted closed mind like Mike D. We had a blast and our fish was cleaned for us right in front of us. They even took the time to explain what parts of the fish to watch out for and how to safely eat them.

And there were plenty of other birds, including Tri-colored herons and Reddish egrets. Not to mention ospreys and hawks galore. But the captain and the mate were what made it special. They were fun, funny, and incredibly informative. They also made sure we were comfortable and happy. They leant us nice binoculars and had a telescope they would focus on the far-away birds and let us look into. In short, they really cared. They were as nutty about birds as their customers, which is what you want and need for an experience like this. The captain was an aviary scholar who happened to captain a tour boat. Perfect.

Great trip; highly recommended…read more The purpose of our weekend in the area was to see whooping cranes, and the company guarantees a sighting - they know where the cranes hang out and we saw at least a dozen pairs. We saw many other birds (the captain called them out) and dolphins. The boat holds at least 30 guests and has both open observation decks and enclosed seating below. Wear non-slip shoes and bring binoculars, a hat, and a jacket. There are small toilets on board, and we were served drinks and basic snacks. They have about a dozen loaner binoculars if you do not have a pair.
