We will definitely be booking with him again once the weather warms up. We can't wait to spend a few hours lounging on the different floats he mentioned to us.

Feeling that I'd pickled my guests with too many wine tastings, I googled "Peconic Bay boat ride." At $180 for 4 people, this private cruise didn't disappoint. David, our captain, was funny, knowledgeable, and clearly in love with the bay. The solar powered boat was a nice, easy ride, and all the talk of oysters made me hungry. I recommend this to families and adult groups alike. And if you're from Brooklyn like us, make sure to tell him for some extra fun stories, no charge.

Charter Boat / Tours…read more Having the day off, a few of us tripped across this small tour operator in Greenport Harbor. The boat is named Glory and is a reproduction launch from days gone by. The claim to fame is that the whole thing runs on batteries and thus, is green and clean. The boat owner and operator (Andrew) was a real hoot- he took great pride in all that is Greenport, the boat, the harbor and the environment - we had a great time out there with him as we motored around Shelter Island and the bay in general. The cost is extremely reasonable - $15 for adults and if you are nice, you'll get a lollipop. The boat leaves from the rear of Prestons Marine supply. The trip is about 45 minutes and a great way to see some nature - Osprey's in particular but plenty of other birds... Parking around town.

Every detail is taken care of and all of your needs are anticipated. It is truly a magical experience and if there is an available slot I suggest you book it now! Do not hesitate you will not regret it! Liz - thank you so much for making the day so special!

My friend and I booked the charter for a two hour trip, Captain John was very accommodating and took us at the last minute, and it was the highlight of our stay on Shelter Island. I highly recommend booking Tubby's charters, you won't be sorry! We are already planning a repeat trip with a group of friends as soon as Captain John has space to take us as he is very fully booked as many people go back for return trips year after year. Thank you, Captain John , you rock!
