Smith Island Cruises

Our family had a wonderful time visiting Smith Island. The vessel was very clean, comfortable and easy to board on and off. Our kids were able to bring their bikes to explore the island. We saw so many shorebirds and other little islands on the way. This was a wonderful little day trip and we would highly recommend it.

Really enjoyed my experience with Smith Island Cruises. The ride to and from Smith Island was enjoyable and we left on time. The ride is 1 hour. We had just under 2.5 hours on the island. I do recommend having an idea of what you want to do on the island since the time is limited. I ate lunch at the Bay View Inn (you are dropped off right in front of the restaurant), rented a golf cart for an hour (this is the easiest way to see the majority of the island in a short amount of time), and popped into the Smith Island Cultural Center for about 20 minutes.
The Somers Cove marina has a small, free museum about the town of Crisfield that I enjoyed visiting briefly before the cruise as well. I would recommend coming a little before your cruise to check it out.

We had a lovely day taking the cruise from Point Lookout to Smith Island. The people who ran the boat were super nice, and the boat was a smooth ride with many options for seating. We chose the top deck and got a little sun burned even with sunscreen, but it was worth it! There is bottled water available for $1 but bring your own snacks. It was 2 hours to the island, where we loaded around for a while before returning. It’s not the kind of place with a lot to do; just a nice relaxing day to go somewhere new, eat some delicious cake, and bike around a bit. Great experience all around!
