Birding By Boat on the Osprey

About

The Osprey runs daily cruises through Cape May Harbor and the surrounding salt marsh. Explore the outdoors and learn about local wildlife.

Description

The salt marshes are full of stunning creatures: gulls, egrets, foxes, herons, and even seals. When you’re in Cape May, you can see them all from the panoramic windows of the Osprey, a boat that was built for bird watching. Captain Bob has been working with conservationists and fellow bird watchers for decades, and he knows all the best spots in the area. On a wildlife safari with us, you can enjoy views of migrating birds through sets of provided binoculars. We even have high-powered Zeiss optics you can try for an up-close view. Tours with us are interactive, informative, and a whole lot of fun, and we can’t wait explore these wonderful waters with you.

Capt. Bob delivers the best experience to see the birds of Cape May! This was our third trip and was the best yet. Bob knows the details on bird nesting and migration. I am a wildlife photographer and photographed 5 species for the vey first time. We will be back!
Captain Bob was able to take us out despite the rain. We had a window in the precipitation forecast that worked perfectly. We had 5 in our group including 3 teens. We all had a great time out on the water. Bob was very informative and responsive to questions. He provided access to good binoculars too.
This is my third time on one of the Birding by Boat cruises. Captain Bob is extremely knowledgeable, and this time he had a Naturalist aboard to share his expertise. Even if you are not into shore birds, the cruise through the bay and wetlands is a wonderful experience. We have already booked another cruise later this month.
Great trip. We saw a colony of Common Terns with chicks. We saw Ospreys, Snowy Egrets, Double Breasted Cormorants, Semi Palmated Plovers, Short-billed Dowitcher, American Oyster catchers, Willets, Black Skimmers, Least Sandpiper, Ruddy Turnstones, Black Crowned Night Herons and a Black Bellied Plover.
We had a wonderful trip on The Osprey this morning. The trip exceeded my already high expectations. The Captain was an extremely knowledgeable guide, with an obvious respect for the wetlands and the great variety of birds that inhabit the area. We saw way more birds than I anticipated as the Captain guided us into the shallower areas and pointed out the birds there. Definitely add this trip to your Cape May stay! Geri Livengood
Our family had a wonderful adventure on the Osprey. Cruising the waterways, exploring the marshes and spotting all sorts of wildlife was such a fun experience. Big thanks to Capt Bob and Patti for the friendly, interesting and knowledgeable trip.
If you are a serious bird watcher or interested in learning about the local migration of birds this is your jam! Docked on right, beside the fishing charter Miss Chris, you purchase tickets on the boat. You will not be disappointed. Saw many shore birds and the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable!
Great experience. We were looking for something to do with the the kids on an overcast day. Captain Bob was super knowledgeable and we saw many interesting birds. 2 hours is the right amount of time. Binoculars provided.
I had made a reservation to go birding by boat back in August of 2022.I have been coming down to cape may for over 50 years for Hawk and monarch butterfly migration and had always gone go the Hawk Watch. This fall I decided to try birding by boat.Something different and I was very happy. Captain Bob's knowledge of the area and the habitat of the birds that live in the back bay of Cape May made for an exciting adventure. I was able to check a few birds off my life list. Among them, foster tern, tri color heron and oyster catcher. I would highly recommend a trip on the Osprey with Captain Bob. You won't be disappointed.
This is my second summer going on this boat trip! Captain Bob is extremely knowledgeable and has a fantastic eye. He knows a lot of hidden spots where unusual birds tend to nest or hang out. My mom and I have added this tour to our annual to do list down here in the cape! Definitely recommend to anyone interested in seeing some uncommon water birds!
