Tours & Rates

We have regularly scheduled tours each weekend from April through October, (weather permitting), as well as private charters and custom tours available throughout the week. Most tours depart from the private dock at The Inn at Tabbs Creek in Port Haywood, Virginia, but we can arrange for Captain Trey to pick you up at your vacation home or private dock as well.  Email or call us with any inquiries you may have! Even if you just have a few people, you may be able to join in on another cruise.
