    Our rentals grant you direct access to the scenic channels extending from the inlet. You are free to explore, fish, crab, and anchor in Double Creek Channel, High Bar Channel, Oyster Creek Channel, and the channel leading to Viking Village. These locations feature excellent fishing spots, clamming areas, and beautiful sandbars perfect for relaxing. For safety and insurance reasons, our riding zone excludes Tices Shoal, the mainland, and the causeway. To ensure a safe trip, all passengers must board and disembark directly at our marina docks, keeping your entire journey structured, secure, and highly enjoyable.
