Life On the Water
Cruises at the Tides Inn
Experience Carter's Creek and beyond with cruises at the Tides Inn. From peaceful mornings on the water to golden-hour sunsets, our guided cruises are the perfect way to connect with nature and with each other. Sip local wine or simply relax as your captain shares stories of the bay’s heritage and hidden gems. Whether it’s a heartfelt celebration or a quiet escape, every cruise is a memory in the making.
Sailing
Set sail with Captain Clay, a Northern Neck native with over 20 years of experience and an ASA certification. From sailing school to catamaran charters, he brings local knowledge and global adventures to every trip on the Bay.
Best of the Atlantic Flyway
Glide along quiet waterways within the Atlantic Flyway - one of North America’s most vital migration corridors, where millions of birds depend on these coastal habitats to rest and feed. Led by an expert naturalist, you’ll experience this remarkable journey from the water, up close.
Fishing Charters
Come aboard with our resident pro-fishing guide for a 2-hour charter exploring the quiet and secluded areas on Carter Creek and the Rappahannock River while in pursuit of the most sought-after species. Regardless of your fishing experience, we customize each family friendly trip to ensure a fun, relaxing, and productive outing on the water. We also provide all necessary licenses, fishing rods, tackle, bait, and expert instruction.
