The boat was clean and seemed taken care of. Sure it could use an update on paint and so forth, but at no time was I concerned about its seaworthiness or the skills of the person in charge of its transit. Both decks have chairs outside that you can move to your preference of shade, wind, and view. People brought their own bicycles to and from the island. Th crew let them secure the bikes to the rails in the back area. We enjoyed our trip over and back and would definitely use this company again.

Bottom Line. Reliable and friendly transportation to Ewell on Smith Island…read more The brackish water of the Chesapeake Bay runs through my veins and I love the heritage and culture of the region. I've traveled the Eastern Shore and the Western Shore and I've now finally made it to the in between of Smith Island, in part thanks to Smith Island Cruises. My husband and I took the ferry from Crisfield to the village of Ewell on Smith Island. The ferry is a two-deck passenger ferry that probably holds around 100 people but on Labor Day weekend I think there were only about 30 aboard. Passengers are welcome to bring their luggage aboard including coolers. You can bring bikes too but there is a charge. Smith Island is dry so if you're hoping to have a drinky drink then discretely bring your own. The ferry trip is advertised to take about 45 minutes but depending on conditions, such as wind, it could take longer. During the cruise the captain pointed out some landmarks and provided a little history which was a nice touch. Overall the trip was scenic and I'm glad I had my birdnoculars in tow. The ferry is no frills. It offers a safe passage, friendly service and two bathrooms. Online ordering of tickets is easy. You can also reserve a golf cart and Smith Island cake at the same time. If departing from Crisfield then you pick up your tickets (wristband) at the Captain Tyler Motel before hand and then they'll direct you to free parking near the B pier at the marina. It was a very simple and organized process. Once on Smith Island we got a delicious lunch at the Bayside Inn and then went to the nearby Cultural center where we enjoyed the exhibits and got a walking tour map for the town. For our short 2.5 hours on the town we found waking, versus gold cart riding or biking, to be adequate. Shout out to the employee on board in the first mate/hospitality role - he was friendly and welcoming.

We were kind of hot and a little tired and that was so nice! The boat does have bathrooms. The online tickets are very easy.

He He was helpful in answering questions as well. I will say that is way colder than you can imagine on the VERY windy water, and my 3 layers of clothing were not enough to keep me warm. No matter how tough you think you are, wear at minimum 2 *heavy* layers of clothing, and a thick windbreaker (my think raincoat did not hold up) and a hat to keep your head and ears warm. It's not just that it's 10 degrees colder on the water -- it's a constant cold wind blowing at you... and that's on a day when there wasn't a strong wind on the island itself. If you're not properly dressed, you won't find it relaxing. Although this tour company does warn you about the colder weather on the boat, it does not sufficiently warn you about the constant unrelenting wind.

Captain Shane brought us to the dolphins and they put on a show. There were dolphins everywhere and it was a sight to see. We wanted to extend our tour as we had only booked a one hour tour and Captain Shane was able to get us booked for another hour in order to see the wild ponies. We not only saw wild ponies, but a bald eagle as well and so many pelicans. Captain Shane took us around the whole island and was just an overall great tour guide. 100% book this tour!
