General Ad Copy: Cruise to Tangier Island VA

***Remember when floating leaves in a rain puddle made for a great adventure? Rekindle your childhood love of discovery and set sail for Tangier Island, Virginia with Tangier Isle Cruises.

Spend the morning in historic Reedville before your departure on the Wind of Chesapeake. Gliding through a guided tour of the Rappahannock River, the Wind carries you out of yourself. Youʼll find you feel a whole new person standing on the top deck. Youʼll wish it went on forever just as you pull into harbor at Tangier Island in time for lunch.

Net some seafood at the Chesapeake House Bed & Breakfast, or grab a sandwich from a riverside shop and settle on the grass for a picnic. Afterwards, tour the island via regularly scheduled mini-bus tours.

Staying overnight on Tangier Island only takes a call ahead. Built in 1939, Chesapeake House harkens to simple yet elegant island charm. Nestle into one of the five rooms of the main house. Or if you prefer things a little busier - and your food closer - into one of the three rooms above their restaurant across the street.

Your return to the real world departs each day at 4 pm, but hopefully you'll leave a few worldly cares in your wake. You might even end up carrying a piece of Tangier with you wherever you go. Gift shops are plentiful.

On your journey, as you pass local fishermen hauling in their nets, you'll feel right at home after catching this experience. Salmon of wisdom, anyone?
