Dine on the island as part of your trip!

We offer the option to dine on the island with our 6 or 8 hour fishing trips.  We will usually depart the Crisfield area in the morning for some fishing and will then head to the island for lunch (On your own.)  After lunch, you are welcome to explore or we can shove off and fish some more before heading back to the dock under the beautiful Tangier Sound sunset.  Give us a call and we will work with you to plan the perfect outing!

Tangier Island is located in the Chesapeake Bay just south of Smith Island. The island features sandy ridges divided by marshes and tidal streams. The island has three ridges, called Main Ridge, Canton, and West Ridge. North of Tangier is an island that was abandoned after the stream between it and Tangier Island (Oyster Creek) became too wide to build a bridge over.

The population is approximately 700.  The modes of transportation off the island are boats and airplane. There is an airport, open from dawn to dusk.  There are boats that travel regularly from Crisfield, Maryland, across Tangier Sound to Tangier. Passengers and mail are carried on these boats.

The people who came to settle the island permanently arrived in the 1770s and were farmers. In the late 19th century, the islanders began to become more dependent on harvesting crabs and oysters from the Chesapeake Bay.

Tangier Island has a unique, traditional cuisine which primarily focuses on fresh seafood.
