From making the reservations to leaving the boat this was a fantastic, friendly, and fun experience. Captain Charlie greeted my 2 young kids (7 & 4) like they were part of his family . When my pony crazy little girl said she could explain to the other couple out with us the difference between a pony and a horse, Capt'n... more

My husband and I had the best on Charlie's tour; we saw dolphins, egrets, and thanks to Charlie's sharp eye, we had a chance to see the wild ponies before they went in for the night. He put us all at ease and made us feel as if we had known him for a while. When we go Chincoteague again,... more
