Birding and Photography Tours

Although I am known for fishing charters, wildlife photography is one of my true passions.  Many of the birds that I photograph can be found around my home waters on the Crystal Coast.  We offer customizable private birding and bird photography tours in the local estuarine areas where a variety of shorebirds, wading birds and raptors can be seen.  Whether you want to bring your camera and telephoto lens to capture an award winning photograph, or just your binoculars and birding app, we will put you in the bird's environment for a great experience.  
Some of the commonly seen birds (seasonally) are:
Ospreys
Bald Eagles
Great Blue Herons
Tricolor Herons
Green Herons
Great Egrets
Snowy Egrets
White Ibis
​Belted Kingfisher
​Oyster Catchers
Virginia and Clapper Rails
Plovers
Sanderlings
Willets
Dunlin
Ruddy Turnstones
Cormorants
Brown Pelicans
Black Skimmers
Least, Common, Sandwich, Royal and other terns
Laughing, Herring, Ring Billed and other gulls
Boat tail Grackle
Red-wing Blackbird
​and the list goes on....

Shelling/Eco Tours

Come on a trip looking for the perfect sand dollar, whelk or moon snail shell. Hunt for a blackened shark's tooth on a fossil covered shoreline. Go on the hunt for wildlife like Bottlenose Dolphins, Egrets and Pelicans.  Explore a shell bank, sand bar or the saltmarsh.  Cast net a blue crab, shrimp and mullet while learning about the different species that call the marsh home.  Or just take a scenic cruise along the Intracoastal Waterway and watch a beautiful sunset.
