Buzzard Point Marina offers: boat charters, in water boat slips, inside dry boat storage, numerous fishing tournaments annually, and is home to the Chesapeake Breeze, a boat that provides daily trips to and from Tangier Island.

Much has been written about the island; I can't go over the whole of it here. On a pragmatic level,…read morethis cruise has a lot of limitations. It takes over an hour and a half to get to the island, which means that realistically you'll spend more time on the boat than at the destination. It's puzzling to me that their departure time is 10 AM; a little earlier would help out with that. The boat is okay, but clearly not new and it doesn't have a ton to offer during the ride, and I overheard that they don't run at maximum speed because it isn't economical. They also kind of strangely insisted on taking pictures of everyone and then trying to sell the pictures to us, which I didn't ask for and which might have been at least a more viable plan when everyone didn't just take their own pictures with their phone. Getting to the island, I have to say it was one of the saddest places I've ever traveled. Everywhere you looked, including the fishing structures on the way in, was destruction and decay. It has to be a strange feeling being a waterman working in one of those places and every day seeing the ruins of your neighbor's fishery after he either moved away or died. Similarly, the island had many abandoned houses, and others for sale. Don't get me wrong; I don't necessarily look at it as a reason not to go. Thinking about the history as you see the present can be a worthwhile endeavor. Due to limited time on the island, it's hard to see much. There were kayaks for rent and some interesting shallow areas, but I didn't see anyone taking that route. Most transit on the island is by golf cart and a few paid tours were available. The island is walkable in size. The beach is nice, but it's hard to really explore it in the time allotted, and given the waterlogged approach, golf carts or bikes don't really help that much. The island has a distinctive culture that is still preserved, but it really does not seem that amenable to tourism. I don't necessarily blame people for wanting to keep random passersby out of their yards, but it's just not the most welcoming environment, and it's hard to see any other path forward for the island than ecotourism at this point. I'm curious to visit nearby Smith Island as well. I don't know what the future holds for Tangier.

($40 instead of $35) The ride over was fine, choppy in some parts. It was really breezy on deck, so watch your hats if you're wearing one. I luckily had my strap around my neck. Seating below is comfortable. We had quite a lot of people on board and I saw a guy bringing plastic chairs aboard. Many folks chose to sit up top under an awning. They receded pretty close together, so that was not an option for me with Covid having a resurgence once again. I stayed mainly below, but came up to bask in the sun and breeze. It takes some balancing to walk across the deck. It's about an hour and a half each way. Slightly shorter if you are coming from Crissfield, Maryland.

The two of them make a great team. It's obvious from their introduction that they love sharing their passion of sailing with others. Before we even got to the dock I was in contact with Josh on the phone and email. He responded quickly and was happy to offer some amenities. Josh offered me a few pick up locations and offered to drop us at our hotel marina. Once on the boat we covered a quick but thorough safety brief. We toured the river before entering the bay. Carmelita and Josh made suggestions for restaurants and other activities on Solomons and pointed them out as we passed them. Our tour took us around Solomons Island and under the bridge at sunset. Carmelita took pictures of us the whole time and shared them with us after the tour. It was great talking with them about how they got into sailing and how they learned their craft. The boat was clean and appeared to be sound. On the way back lighting storms were surrounding us. The light show was really cool to watch. The storm was about 30 miles so there was no danger and we felt safe the Josh and Carmelita were keeping an eye on the weather. I would definitely recommend their tour or charter service. They were great hosts and provide a memorable experience. You should book your tour now.

We also wanted formal training and certifications and we found this place online. We also thought seeing Virginia and the east coast a bit would have been a great time for my wife Brittany's birthday. So we flew to Virginia's SailTime courses instead of one of the the ones in our own state. We flew from California and I spoke with Connie and she was kind enough to let us stay on a 41 ft yacht (Adiona, a 41 ft Jenneua) for our stay in Virginia which saved us about half a grand on hotels. When we landed a lady named Brooke made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. When we got on board to unpack there was even a note waiting for us that said happy birthday. Brooke was a sweetheart for sure and we felt like family by the time we had set our bags down. She made sure of it. We met our captain the next morning. A man named Jim Lant who took us through our 101, 103 and 104 courses over the next 6 days. We had a GREAT time and I honestly didn't want to leave when we finished up our last tests. Those six days we sailed every day and every place we sailed too seemed to have friendly people there who all knew each other and our captain Jim. The first ocean sail my wife and I ever did together was from Norfolk to cape Charles and that's pretty cool. Well miss the people and sailing for sure! Everyone who loves sailing should come here and meet Connie, Jim and Brooke. You won't regret it and we won't ever forget it. Jim is the BEST captain.

It's generally really hard to find activities that all 6 of us enjoy due to the age range but this turned out to be an absolutely perfect day.
