Top Cape May Outdoor Activities

Take a break from the beach on a sightseeing cruise off the coast of Cape May.

The boat is fully equipped with wheelchair access, bathrooms, and a snack bar for your convenience.

We get views of the wildlife of the salt marsh that people almost never have an opportunity to see. We sail daily from April until October so we always know where we are likely to see the most interesting birds and with 25 years of experience running these tours we know where we are likely to have the best trip. Our route varies daily depending on conditions.

I've taught Beach Yoga for 10 years in our quaint tourist town of Cape May, NJ. I love the opportunity to provide visitors and locals with an unforgettable experience. I've learned how to provide the ultimate Beach Yoga class! I love being able to have our class right out on the beach and I teach it in a way that keeps us from getting all sandy while allowing everyone to enjoy a class that is both relaxing and powerful.

Captain Mike and the crew of the Miss Chris take anglers out to the waters of Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Catches include Flounder, Sea Bass, Kingfish, Small Sharks and more.

The crew aboard the Miss Chris can clean your catch. The trip includes views of Cape May Harbor, the United States Coast Guard Base and Cape May Lighthouse, depending on the route the Captain chooses.
