    Families and couples consistently rave about the Assateague Island boat tours, with guides like Connor and Captain John earning special praise for their knowledge and personable approach. The 75-90 minute cruises hit a sweet spot for entertainment, keeping even toddlers engaged while adults appreciate the informative commentary about local wildlife and history. Most travelers spot the famous wild horses during their beach stop, and lucky groups sometimes encounter dolphins swimming alongside the boat. The laid-back vibe extends to punctual departures and returns, with reasonable pricing that makes it accessible for families. The experience includes fun hands-on elements like using nets to sift through bay water and collecting shells, plus amenities like onboard bathrooms and drinks for purchase. Wildlife sightings can vary by trip—horses are common, but dolphins and other animals depend on the day. A couple reviewers mentioned wanting longer tours or occasional knowledge gaps from guides, and one noted confusion with the parking service. Still, repeat customers return year after year, creating lasting vacation memories on these well-run tours that work beautifully for all ages.

    We have used Talbot Street water sports for all three of their services for the past five years and continue to have an amazing experience with life long memories being created! The guides are so nice, the pictures are an added treasure and the island is breathtaking!
