Spider took my daughter and I on a fabulous 2-hour tour of Chincoteague and Assateague Islands. He is a wonderful guide -- both personable and knowledgeable . . . and we saw so many wild ponies! I have literally wanted to see wild ponies ever since I was a little girl, and this tour fulfilled my childhood fantasies! More

Captain Bob knows all about Chincoteague and surrounding waters. He gives you the background, the lowdown and future impacts on Chincoteague life while delivering up the natural beauty of the island and its waters. More

Had a perfect day and a truly great learning experience with a very friendly and easy going guide. More

Five of us, including my 12 year old son, were fortunate enough to take a cruise with Captain Spider. He's funny and entertaining and he obviously loves what he does!

I called Captain Spider upon arrival in Chincoteague and inquired about an improtu marriage ceremony on his boat. Captain Spider was extremely accomodating, courteous, friendly, knowlegeable, etc. etc. etc. We were married with the Chincoteague lighthouse in the background (at the suggestion of Capt. Spider). It was a wonderful day, we saw lots of wildlife (thanks to Capt. Sider's knowledge)... More

Spider took us around the island..he's a wealth... More
