Today I was honored to be featured on Somerset Scoop by Somerset County Tourism as they shared some of the experiences we offer through Experience Smith Island.

From our guided Day Trips exploring the island communities, to relaxing Sunset Cruises on the Chesapeake Bay, to our immersive 3-Day Smith Island experience and weekend cottage packages — every trip is about sharing the history, culture, and beauty of the island I’ve called home my whole life.

I’m thankful for the opportunity to introduce more people to this special place and the people who make it unique. Thank you to Somerset County Tourism for helping tell the story of Smith Island.

Take a look at the video and come experience the island with us!

What a way to kick off our sunset cruises! 🌅

We had an incredible surprise out on the Chesapeake Bay — a pod of dolphins showed up and swam around us for a while! 🐬 It was one of those unforgettable moments that reminds you that you truly never know what you’ll experience out on the water.

The sunsets are always beautiful, but every trip has its own story and this cruise gave us one we won’t forget anytime soon.

If you’ve been thinking about joining us for a sunset cruise, now’s the perfect time to come spend an evening on the bay with us. Relax, enjoy the scenery, and see what surprises the Chesapeake might have in store.

We had a great time with the crews from Outdoors Delmarva and Somerset County Tourism as we explored beautiful Smith Island together. It was a pleasure sharing the island’s history, culture, and way of life out on the water.

Thank you both for coming over and experiencing what makes Smith Island so special. We’re looking forward to seeing the finished feature

Today we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Memorial Day is more than the start of summer — it is a day of reflection, gratitude, and remembrance for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

As we gather with family and friends today, may we also take a moment to remember the heroes who never made it home and the families who carry their memory every day.

We honor them. We remember them. 🇺🇸

🎉Capt. Carole Ann 🎉

We’re excited to celebrate a huge accomplishment — Carole Ann has officially passed her Captain’s License course and graduated with her 100 Ton Captain’s License!

This was no small task. Carole Ann and the rest of the class put in a tremendous amount of hard work, long hours, and dedication to make this opportunity a success, and we couldn’t be more proud of her.

A special thank you to Capt. Ross of 3Bs Captains School and Paul of the Lower Shore Workforce Alliance / AJC for helping make this possible and supporting the class throughout the journey.

After the ceremony, we celebrated the best way we know how — with Smith Island cake and a few other refreshments. Then to finish the evening, I gave a special gift to Carole Ann to mark the occasion.

This is a major milestone, and we’re so excited for what’s ahead.

Congratulations, Captain Carole Ann!

There’s more to a Maryland blue crab than just cracking claws at the dinner table. 🦀

On our Experience Smith Island Day Trips, guests get the chance to learn about the life of the Chesapeake blue crab, the traditions of the watermen who harvest them, and the unique culture that has shaped Smith Island for generations. From stories on the water to hands-on demonstrations, it’s an authentic look into a way of life that’s quickly disappearing.

Our guided day trips include visits to multiple island communities, local history, fresh island food, and of course plenty of time to experience the beauty of Smith Island itself.

Looking for more than just a day away? We also offer overnight getaway trips where you can slow down, stay on the island, explore by golf cart, and experience Smith Island after the day visitors have gone home.

Come experience the Chesapeake Bay in a way most people never do.

📍Departing from Crisfield, Maryland
📅 Trips run May–October

Ever get a craving for steamed crabs but don’t have any? 🦀

Here’s a little “Reel Quick” snack hack I like…

Take a saltine cracker, spread a little butter on it, and sprinkle on some crab seasoning. That familiar Chesapeake flavor will fool your brain just enough to hold you over until you can crack into the real thing. 😄

Simple, salty, buttery, and surprisingly close to that steamed crab taste we all know around the Bay.

Try it and tell me what you think!
