Back Bay Tours started over 22 years ago on the premise that nothing beats personalized service, experience, and attention to detail. Our goal is to create unforgettable vacation memories.
Back Bay Tours was conceived after years of taking family and friends out on the Bay. Whether it was a day of fishing tours, exploring, or a stunning sunset cruise, everyone would comment on what a wonderful time they had. I knew there were many people on vacation or new to the area that had never had the chance to experience the joys of being on the Bay.
When you pick Captain Tom and Back Bay Tours, you're not just getting the best thing you'll do on vacation; you're also gaining over 35 years of knowledge and experience on Delaware's inland bays, with 25 of those years as a licensed Captain. Captain Tom is thrilled to have his son Captain Billy join the team!
The highlight of summer - a sunset cruise on the beautiful Indian River Bay with Captain Tom! This is an awesome sunset cruise experience. The boat and the crew are GREAT! First, you pull into a darling marina off a beautiful shady canal. The boat is clean and comfortable, and there’s even a little bathroom! The crew is kind and very attentive, and you’ll love Captain Tom! We did the sunset cruise, which was so much fun, but next time I’ll want to spend more time on the water. I highly recommend booking a cruise with Back Bay!
We had a great time with Captain Tom on our 3-hour fishing tour. He was a fantastic guide who helped us out a lot! Very knowledgeable about the area and the bay, we will definitely be back!
Captain Tom was excellent. He made sure everyone was ready to catch fish and was super nice. I maintained my 63-year record of never catching a fish, despite growing up in a family of fishermen on Lake Ontario, but all of the other five caught multiples. The dolphins playing alongside the boat were a special treat.
Captain Tom was super great! We got lucky and saw some dolphins up close on our way out, which was amazing! Tom was so knowledgeable about the bay and wildlife—he was informative without being boring, which is not an easy thing! I would highly recommend the sandbar tour!
I booked a sunset cruise for my four friends on the Friday before Labor Day, and it was phenomenal! Along with wonderful weather and a beautiful sunset, Captain Tom was very friendly and even took group photos for me and my friends. He also got us back to shore in record time when the sun finished setting and people needed to use the restroom. The pricing was fair, and I really enjoyed the opportunity to rent a private boat for a girls weekend. I will definitely be back if the opportunity arises!
Captain Tom and his son did a great job taking us on a sunset cruise around the bay. Great crew, boat, and time on the water! 10/10 experience.
We have two children, ages 2 and 6, and they absolutely loved the sandbar explorer trip. The entire experience was first class, from the quality of the boat built specifically for passenger comfort to the incredibly knowledgeable Captain Tom. Not only did the entire family have a blast, adults included, but we even managed to learn a few things about the sea life in the bay. I will absolutely be back again.
We love our customers, so feel free to visit during normal business hours from May to September for exciting fishing tours with Captain Tom or to enjoy a relaxing sunset cruise.
