Chincoteague Island, VA
Directions
We are loading from a new location for 2021.
In 2021 season, after 13 years in business, we have decided to run out of our own family slip, next to the fish-dock in town. This slip has been in our family for 5 generations.
4161 Main Street | Chincoteague, VA 23336
The drive way to the dock is between Baxter Insurance Group and Big Papa SUP, almost directly across from Smith Street.
​
Drive down the lane, around to the back side of the Baxter Insurance Group building, and Park in the grass, under the "Captain Dan's" banner hanging on the chain-link fence, on the backside of the building.
​
Take care not to block the lane. The lane is used by tractor trailers to access the fish dock, by Tarkill Aquafarms to get to their dock and boats, and Big Papa SUP.
​
You could also park on Smith Street, and walk to the dock (a distance of maybe a 150 yards).
​
From behind the insurance building, walk toward the water and to the right, behind the cinderblock building on your right. You should see our pontoon boats, aluminum gangway, and floating docks. Wait there to be greeted by the captain.
​
There is an extra wide porta potty near the loading dock for your use. We do have a "portable chemical potty", with collapsing privacy curtain on our boat. It is not elaborate, but will function for its intended purpose. It also takes a few minutes to set up, and break down the boat potty.
​
Please try to arrive about 10-15 minutes prior to departure. We are trying to coordinate parking, so one group leaves before the next arrives, to free up the parking spots.
​
Between trips, the captains have a limited amount of time to refuel, grab a snack, and take a quick break. Please wait until they greet you, before walking down the gangway, towards the boat. Sometimes they only get a10 minute break to reset themselves for the next trip.
​
Your credit card is used to hold the reservation, but it's not charged until the end of the trip when it's time to settle up. It's at that point that you can opt to pay by cash, or let us know to charge your card.
