Thank you for your interest in Salt Marsh Photographic Cruises. Be sure to view the Portfolio link, it features some photos taken along the cruises. There you will find a map showing a red dotted line. This line will take you along the route I take. Along the route are camera icons, click on the icons and you will see some photographs that I have taken from that particular spot.
I have three cruises, the Gilbert Creek cruise (about 2 ½ hrs), the Coulter Creek cruise (about 3 1/2 hrs) and the Doughboy Loop cruise (about 4 1/2 hrs). The time of the cruise is dictated by the tides as I must have high water to get into, and more importantly to get out of, the remote and smaller creeks. The Gilbert Creek cruise travels through Gilbert Creek only, while the Coulter Creek cruise includes Gilbert Creek, the Doughboy Loop includes Gilbert Creek as well as Coulter Creek.
The cost of the Gilbert Creek cruise (most popular) is $160. The Coulter Creek cruise is $260 and the Doughboy Loop cruise is $360. The fees are flat fees (not a per person fee) so that if a group of 4 goes (the maximum number that I can take); the fee can be divided among the individuals. For example If one person decided to take the Gilbert Creek Cruise alone the cost would be $150. If four people wanted to go on the Gilbert Creek Cruise and split the cost, it would cost each person $37.50 for a total of $150.
Photography is not a prerequisite as many people go only to enjoy the views and to learn about the wild life. Again, thank you for your interest in Salt Marsh Photographic Cruises, if you have any further questions, please feel free to call me at your convenience.
