Sightseeing

Captain Duane has different boats for different adventures. For a scallop trip or nature tour, there's a pontoon boat. For fishing the flats, there's a microdraft fishing boat perfect for the shallow Chassahowitzka River or try the motorized gheenoe for back country redfish or exploring the creeks.

Kayak on weekdays to skip the crowds. Right here in Chass, kayak from your yard to gin clear frosty cold springs, right from the aquafer. A popular party spot on weekends & in summer but afternoons we sometimes have it all to ourselves...

Others like this tiki bar, but my caveats: it is cash only (they have an ATM), no tableside service (you stand in line to order food & drinks) & it is often crowded & loud. Limited menu, but steamed shrimp is biggest draw. Steamed blue crabs are good when available.
