2021
We’re looking forward to the new season with guarded enthusiasm. Our prices remain the same as they were in 2019. With the imminent release of several vaccines to combat and defeat Covid-19, we hope it means we can return to full operation sometime in May of 2021. We were able to keep the business afloat by, after 5 months of concentrated effort and frustration, securing a loan from the SBA. Our hearts go out to all who suffered loss during this pandemic, we simply hope that life can return to a somewhat normal flow next year.
Book your 2021 tour as soon as you can through the Book Now tab on our website. If you know when you're coming to the Islands, seriously consider booking early so you don't miss out on these wonderful tours. Remember there is no payment due until the end of your trip. Each year we fill up quicker and quicker.
We added a new bow cover last Spring to increase your safety and comfort, it’s pictured above.

2021 PARKING GUIDELINES
As the popularity of our tours increase and as the popularity of Morse's Cribstone Grill continues to grow, parking has become a problem. In order to continue to use Morse's docks, I have had to make arrangements for parking away from the restaurant. As you come across the bridge and pass the restaurant, a couple of hundred feet up the road on the right is the Rob Williams Real Estate Office. He has granted me the right to have you park on the street in front of his office for $5 a car. If you look at the picture to your left you will see my car in the appropriate spot. I appreciate his allowing us to do this, and I thank you in advance for adhering to this solution to the parking issue.
